  We study the time evolution of a system of interacting bosons in a harmonic
trap. In the low-energy regime, the quantum system is not ergodic and displays
rather large fluctuations of the ground state occupation number. In the high
energy regime of classical physics we find nonergodic behavior for modest
numbers of trapped particles. We give two conditions that assure the ergodic
behavior of the quantum system even below the condensation temperature.
