Parameters: kξ = 10 and kσ = 0.5<br />
We establish the connection between the <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> regime and the<br />
Schrödinger regime by means <strong>of</strong> a Gross-Pitaevskii integration and observe<br />
the disorder averaged propagation speed.<br />
We proceed in two steps. Firstly, we increase the wave amplitude Γ with<br />
respect to the ground-state wave function Φ. We start with a plane wave<br />
with small amplitude on top <strong>of</strong> the extended Gross-Pitaevskii ground state<br />
and end at the opposite case <strong>of</strong> the whole condensate propagating as a plane<br />
wave in presence <strong>of</strong> a small fraction at rest. This transition is to be understood<br />
essentially as a formal transition. Physically, it is somewhat pathological,<br />
because the macroscopically populated traveling wave is a highly excited<br />
state and the Gross-Pitaevskii ansatz is questionable. However, interpreted<br />
as a single Schrödinger particle in a disordered environment, the problem<br />
is well defined [22, 23]. Results are shown in figure 4.14(a). As expected,<br />
they initially agree with the <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> prediction (4.40) and approach the<br />
Schrödinger prediction (4.44) for Γ ≫ Φ0. The Schrödinger prediction is not<br />
met exactly, which is plausible because the chemical potential is still larger<br />
than the disorder potential.<br />
In the Schrödinger regime, the chemical potential should be the lowest <strong>of</strong><br />
all energy scales. Thus, in a second step, we increase the disorder strength V0<br />
beyond the chemical potential and the agreement gets better, figure 4.14(b).<br />
For very high values <strong>of</strong> V0, the validity condition V0 ≪ ɛ 0 k = µk2 ξ 2 for the<br />
Born approximation in (4.43) is violated and the agreement gets worse again.<br />
