Abstract
We investigate numerically the momentum correlations in a two-dimensional, harmonically trapped interacting Bose system at temperature, by using a particle number preserving Bogoliubov approximation. Interaction-induced quantum fluctuations of the quasicondensate lead to a large anticorrelation dip between particles of wave numbers and for , with the typical size of the condensate. The anticorrelation dip found is a clear fingerprint of coherent quantum fluctuations of the condensate. In contrast, for larger wave numbers, , a weak positive correlation is found between particles of wave numbers and , in accordance with the Bogoliubov result for homogeneous interacting systems.
