On the survival of the quantum depletion of a condensate after release from a magnetic trap

Abstract We present observations of the high momentum tail in expanding Bose–Einstein condensates of metastable Helium atoms released from a harmonic trap. The far-field density profile exhibits features that support identification of the tails of the momentum distribution as originating in the in-s...
