摘要：

According to the adiabatic approximation atoms moving in a magnetic trap keep their magnetic states. We investigate the validity of this approximation for quantum condensates, where a change of field's direction generates effective interactions between hyperfine angular momentum states. Condensates in general traps are found to be stable because they are confined in the vicinity of the trap center. A decay of a condensate is observable in a trap with extremely large field gradient.
