Many-body theory of dilute gas condensates - derivation of a   field-modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation from multipolar QED
  The Hamiltonian of a moving atom in electromagnetic fields includes velocity- dependent terms. We show that the leading velocity dependence emerges systematically in the non-relativistic limit from a scheme firmly based on the relativistic invariance of the energy-momentum stress tensor of the coupled matter-fields system. We then extend the Hamiltonian to the many-body situation suitable for describing a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). From first principles, we use the equation of motion for the condensate wavefunction to obtain an extended version of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation and an equation for the internal states of the atoms. It is shown that laser fields modify the GP equation by inclusion of convective terms involving a Rontgen interaction plus a term coupling the centre of mass momentum to the Poynting vector. We also obtain the modified Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic fields coupled to the BEC involving the average velocity of the atoms.
