From Many-Body Interaction to Nonlinearity — •Niklas Teichmann1, Christoph Weiss2, and Martin Holthaus11Institut für Physik - Carl von Ossietzky Universität - D-2611 Oldenburg - Germany — 2Laboratoire Kastler Brossel - École normale supérieure - 24 rue Lhomond - F-75231 Paris Cedex 05 - France

A model system is introduced, which allows one to study the N-particle dynamics of an externally forced Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature numerically for reasonably large N, and gives rise to mean-field dynamics which can be either regular or chaotic. The correspondence between the evolution of the N-particle system, governed by the linear many-body Schrödinger equation, and the mean-field dynamics described by the nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equation is illustrated by various examples. This correspondence is strongly sensitive to whether or not the mean-field dynamics are chaotic.
