Wrong implementation of external potential for elliptical traps #8

Open copperwire opened 6 years ago

copperwire commented 6 years ago

For elliptical traps the formulation for the external potential is given as equation 1 in the project description. No implementations has this correctly implemented

But if gamma = beta, we can just put beta to beta*beta and we have the same expression? If you look at the expression for the Hamiltonian in part e), this is just equal to the spherical trap, but with beta = beta*beta. Do you guys agree?

@geirtul @ulvik is this fixed?

@copperwire I don't know. Doesn't seem like it. I do agree with Karis post above though, so just feeding properly massaged betas should work fine.
