Collapse times for attractive Bose-Einstein condensates

We argue that the main mechanism for condensate collapse in an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate is the loss of coherence between atoms a finite distance apart, rather than the growth of the occupation number in non-condensate modes. Since the former mechanism is faster than the latter by a factor...
