Condensate dynamics with non-local interactions

Abstract

Systems of identical particles possessing non-local interactions are capable of exhibiting extra-classical properties beyond the characteristic quantum length scales. This letter derives the dynamics of such systems in the non-relativistic and degenerate limit, showing the effect of exchange symmetry and correlations on structure both in and out of equilibrium. Such descriptions may be crucial to understanding systems ranging from nuclei to dark matter. Correlated condensed solutions are also compared and contrasted to the more established approaches of standard mean field theory and classical field theory.
