Semiclassical wave packets for weakly nonlinear Schrödinger equations with rotation

We consider semiclassically scaled, weakly nonlinear Schrödinger equations with external confining potentials and additional angular-momentum rotation term. This type of model arises in the Gross–Pitaevskii theory of trapped, rotating quantum gases. We construct asymptotic solutions in the form of semiclassical wave packets, which are concentrated in both space and in frequency around an classical Hamiltonian phase-space flow. The rotation term is thereby seen to alter this flow, but not the corresponding classical action.
