Why a Condensate Can Be Thought of as Having a Definite Phase

We present an argument for assigning a definite phase to an assembly of Bose-Einstein Condensed atoms. This relies on the demonstration that a coherent state of the condensed system is a robust state in the presence of interactions between the condensate and its environment.
