If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Wikipedia.
To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.

The Lieb–Liniger model describes a gas of particles moving in one dimension and satisfying Bose–Einstein statistics.
A model of a gas of particles moving in one dimension and satisfying Bose–Einstein statistics was introduced in 1963 [1][2] in order to study whether the available approximate theories of such gases, specifically Bogoliubov's theory, would conform to the actual properties of the model gas. The model is based on a well defined Schrödinger Hamiltonian for particles interacting with each other via a two-body potential, and all the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of this Hamiltonian can, in principle, be calculated exactly. Sometimes it is called one dimensional Bose gas with delta interaction. It also can be considered as quantum non-linear Schrödinger equation.
The ground state as well as the low-lying excited states were computed and found to be in agreement with Bogoliubov's theory when the potential is small, except for the fact that there are actually two types of elementary excitations instead of one, as predicted by Bogoliubov's and other theories.
The model seemed to be only of academic interest until, with the sophisticated experimental techniques developed in the first decade of the 21st century, it became possible to produce this kind of gas using real atoms as particles.
There are boson particles with coordinates on the line , with periodic boundary conditions. Thus, a state of the N-body system must be described by a wave function that remains unchanged under permutation of any two particles (permutation symmetry), i.e., for all and satisfies for all . The Hamiltonian, in appropriate units, is
where is the Dirac delta function, i.e., the interaction is a contact interaction. The constant denotes its strength. The delta function gives rise to a boundary condition when two coordinates, say and are equal; this condition is that as , the derivative satisfies . The hard core limit is known as the Tonks–Girardeau gas.[3]
Schrödinger's time independent equation, is solved by explicit construction of . Since is symmetric it is completely determined by its values in the simplex , defined by the condition that . In this region one looks for a of the form considered by H.A. Bethe in 1931 in the context of magnetic spin systems—the Bethe ansatz. That is, for certain real numbers , to be determined,
where the sum is over all permutations, , of the integers , and maps to . The coefficients , as well as the 's are determined by the condition , and this leads to
Dorlas (1993) proved that all eigenfunctions of are of this form.[4]
These equations determine in terms of the 's, which, in turn, are determined by the periodic boundary conditions. These lead to equations:
where are integers when is odd and, when is even, they take values . For the ground state the 's satisfy
The first kind of elementary excitation consists in choosing as before, but increasing by an amount (or decreasing by ). The momentum of this state is (or ).
For the second kind, choose some and increase for all . The momentum of this state is . Similarly, there is a state with . The momentum of this type of excitation is limited to
These excitations can be combined and repeated many times. Thus, they are bosonic-like. If we denote the ground state (= lowest) energy by and the energies of the states mentioned above by then and are the excitation energies of the two modes.
To discuss a gas we take a limit and to infinity with the density fixed. The ground state energy per particle , and the all have limits as . While there are two parameters, and , simple length scaling shows that there is really only one, namely .
To evaluate we assume that the N's lie between numbers and , to be determined, and with a density . This is found to satisfy the equation (in the interval )
which has a unique positive solution. An excitation distorts this density and similar integral equations determine these distortions. The ground state energy per particle is given by
Figure 1 shows how depends on and also shows Bogoliubov's approximation to . The latter is asymptotically exact to second order in , namely, . At , .
Figure 2 shows the two excitation energies and for a small value of . The two curves are similar to these for all values of , but the Bogoliubov approximation (dashed) becomes worse as increases.
This one-dimensional gas can be made using real, three-dimensional atoms as particles. One can prove, mathematically, from the Schrödinger equation for three-dimensional particles in a long cylindrical container, that the low energy states are described by the one-dimensional Lieb–Liniger model. This was done for the ground state[5] and for excited states.[6] The cylinder does not have to be as narrow as the atomic diameter; it can be much wider if the excitation energy in the direction perpendicular to the axis is large compared to the energy per particle .
