摘要： In light of the interference experiment of Bose－Einstein condensates, we present an anharmonic external potential model to study ground state properties of Bose－Einstein condensates. The ground state energy and the chemical potential have been analytically obtained, which are lower than those in harmonic trap. Additionally, it is found that the anharmonic strength of the external potential has an important effect on density and velocity distributions of the ground state for the Thomas－Fermi model.
