Bose-Einstein Condensates and Detection Operators

These general notes about Bose-Einsten condensates and detection operators are rough and unfinished. They contain questions I have posed to myself and so far not got round to doing anything about answering them. Comments and remarks are most welcome.

You can download the notes by clicking on the large pdf-icon on the left-hand side of this page.
