Abstract
We consider systems of bosons trapped in a box, in the Gross–Pitaevskii regime. We show that low-energy states exhibit complete Bose–Einstein condensation with an optimal bound on the number of orthogonal excitations. This extends recent results obtained in Boccato et al. (Commun Math Phys 359(3):975–1026, 2018), removing the assumption of small interaction potential.
