Abstract
We analyze the laser cooling of trapped bosonic gases beyond the Lamb-Dicke limit. We use a quantum master equation formalism to study the cooling dynamics, and show that dark-state cooling methods similar to those previously proposed for a single trapped atom allow for the condensation of a collection of bosons into a single state of the trap, either the ground state or an excited state. Using Monte Carlo simulations we analyze the condensation dynamics for different dimensions, and two different cooling schemes; we also demonstrate the appearance of multistability and hysteresis phenomena.
