Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the volume of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) cloud confined within a harmonic trap induced by a magneto-optical trap. Three primary factors influencing the volume of the BEC cloud are examined: thermal motion, interatomic interactions, and the uncertainty in momentum and position. These considerations enable the definition of certain thermodynamic variables, leading to the establishment of the thermodynamic equations of state.

Keywords: Bose-Einstein condensate;, harmonic trap;, thermodynamic volume;, thermodynamic pressure;, equations of state
