Abstract
In the Bogoliubov theory, a condensate initially prepared in its ground state described by a stationary Bogoliubov vacuum and later perturbed by a time-dependent potential or interaction strength evolves into a time-dependent excited state which is a dynamical Bogoliubov vacuum. The dynamical vacuum has a simple diagonal form in a time-dependent orthonormal basis of single-particle modes. This diagonal representation leads to a Gaussian probability distribution for possible density-measurement outcomes in position and momentum space.
