Recently, we have developed an efficient recursive approach for analytically calculating the short-time expansion of the propagator to extremely high orders for a general many-body quantum system [1]. Here we apply this technique for numerically studying the thermodynamical properties of a rotating ideal Bose gas of 87Rb atoms in an anharmonic trap [2]. First, the energy spectrum of the system is obtained by diagonalizing the discretized short-time propagator. Then the condensation temperature and the time-of-flight absorption pictures are calculated for varying rotation frequencies. The obtained results improve previous semiclassical calculations [3] and agree well with Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations [4].
