Figure 1. (a) Entropy of an ideal Bose gas in a 3D harmonic trap as a function of the temperature and (b) the relative deviation between the numerical and approximated results. The black solid curve, red squares, and blue circles indicate the results obtained from the numerical results and analytical results in condensed phase and normal phase, respectively.
