We compare the results of full three-dimensional calculations with those of an effective 1D model based on the equation of state of the condensate. The perfect agreement between the two approaches is demonstrated for several optical lattice depths and throughout the full crossover from the 1D mean-field to the Thomas Fermi regime in the radial direction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-09-01T13:43:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bose-einstein condensate", "transverse confinement", "thomas fermi regime", "full three-dimensional calculations", "transverse degrees" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Low Temp.
