  • JILA theorists Murray Holland and John Cooper modeled this experiment by using the GP equation to calculate the evolution of a condensate after the trap had been turned off.
  • GP equation

Examples

  • However, we found that for small numbers of atoms, there are stable solutions of the GP equation for trapped condensates with negative scattering lengths.

  • These excitation frequencies can be theoretically determined by examining the frequencies of small oscillations around a stationary solution of the GP equation.

  • In other words, the equations that predict these frequencies can be found by performing a linear-response analysis on the GP equation.

Etymology

GP stands for Gaussian process, named after the mathematician Gauss, and Gaussian often describes a 'bell-shaped' curve while process means a 'way to model' how things change. So a GP is a model used in statistics and machine learning that makes predictions and shows how sure it is about them.
