Abstract
A Monte Carlo algorithm was constructed combined with a Java applet for the simulation of statistical physics quantities characterizing noninteracting bosons within micro- and macroscales. By this approach the Bose-Einstein condensate was considered within a three-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator in real-time. The algorithm can be used to study both the static properties of ideal bosons within other trapping potentials and the relaxation of the system to the condensate. The algorithm can be extended to cover also collisions between bosons. Conluding, our approach can be used for studying and visualizing both educational and professional problems regarding quantum statistical physics of bosonic systems.
