Abstract

Numerical simulations of vortex motion in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate were performed by solving the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the presence of a simple phenomenological model of interaction between the condensate and the finite temperature thermal cloud. The log (base e) of total energy, trap energy, quantum energy, kinetic energy, internal energy and z-component of the angular momentum vs time were compared with f(x)=a+bx for that time when the vortices come in in the condensate. The increasing/decay rate of these energies and L_{z} were studied as a function of dissipation.

Vortex motion in trapped Bose--Einstein condensates

Enikő J. M. Madarassy, Carlo Barenghi

We have performed numerical simulations of various vortex configurations in a trapped BoseEinstein condensate by solving the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the presence of a simple model of interaction between the condensate and the finite temperature thermal cloud that surrounds it. In that interaction the non-condensed thermal cloud acts as a source of dissipation with a damping effect of excitations. In the case ora single vortex and a vortex - anti vortex pair, we have found that the path of the vortices depends on the initial position, the initial separation distance if the case of two vortices and dissipation. This motion is periodic and it was found that sound waves are created by vortex motion; the intensity was stronger when the initial vortex separation distance was smaller. We have calculated the sound energy as the difference between the kinetic energy and the vortex energy. With no dissipation the vortices followed the same path with a slight oscillation due to the sound waves. We found that the smaller the initial vortex separation distance do is, the larger the sound production. The period, frequency, translation speed, sound energy and vortex energy were measured for different initial separation distances do and for different dissipation parameters 'Y. In the case of motion of one vortex, the connection between the dissipation 'Y and the friction coefficients, a and a' was studied as well. To create a simple turbulent state, we put eight pairs of vortex - anti vortex at random positions in the condensate with initial separation distance do =1.8 between them. 'Ve have studied the decay rate of the total energy, kinetic energy, quantum energy, trap energy and the z - component of the angular momentum together with the increase rate of the internal energy. Finally, we finished our investigation by putting randomly vortex - anti vortex pairs and studied the decrease of the number of vortices with time t. We found that the decrease is exponential.

Vortex dynamics in cubic-quintic Bose-Einstein condensates

Thudiyangal Mithun, Kuppuswamy Porsezian, Bishwajyoti Dey

We study vortex dynamics in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable two- and three-body interactions. The dynamics is governed by two-dimensional cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A time-dependent variational method has been used to obtain critical rotational frequency and surface mode frequency analytically and are compared with numerical simulation results. An imaginary time propagation method and Crank-Nicolson scheme for discretization have been used for numerical simulation. The numerically calculated average value of the angular momentum per particle shows very clearly its dynamical relation with the time development of the vortex formation. The rotational frequency dependence of the variation of average value of the angular momentum per particle with time shows that vortices form much faster in time for higher rotational frequency. Similarly, the vortex forms much faster in time with an increase of the strength of the repulsive three-body interaction. The simulation of the vortex lattice formation in the condensate shows that the presence of the three-body interactions does not alter the vortex lattice pattern but it helps in the shape deformations of the condensate thereby leading to vortex lattice formation. Likewise, the three-body interactions enable the vortex lattice formation in Bose-Einstein condensates even with attractive two-body interactions and in purely quintic BEC.

Dynamics of vortex lattice formation in rotating two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

Toshiaki Kanai, Makoto Tsubota

We study the dynamics of rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates(BECs) toward vortex lattice formation by numerically solving the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equations.The dynamics are similar to that of single-component BEC, and the whole changes of physical quantities in two cases are qualitatively similar.However, there are some differences between two cases.First, the characteristic time toward vortex entering depends on the inter-component interaction.The time toward vortex entering becomes shorter with increasing the inter-component interaction.Second, the angular momenta exchange between two components with keeping the total angular momentum.

Finite-temperature dynamics of vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates

Sandeep Gautam, Arko Roy, Subroto Mukerjee

We study the dynamics of a single vortex and a pair of vortices in quasi two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates at finite temperatures. To this end, we use the stochastic Gross--Pitaevskii equation, which is the Langevin equation for the Bose--Einstein condensate. For a pair of vortices, we study the dynamics of both the vortex-vortex and vortex-antivortex pairs, which are generated by rotating the trap and moving the Gaussian obstacle potential, respectively. Due to thermal fluctuations, the constituent vortices are not symmetrically generated with respect to each other at finite temperatures. This initial asymmetry coupled with the presence of random thermal fluctuations in the system can lead to different decay rates for the component vortices of the pair, especially in the case of two corotating vortices.

Vortex lattice of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a rotating anisotropic trap

Mehmet Özgür Oktel

We study the vortex lattices in a Bose-Einstein condensate in a rotating anisotropic harmonic trap. We first investigate the single-particle wave functions obtained by the exact solution of the problem and give simple expressions for these wave functions in the small anisotropy limit. Depending on the strength of the interactions, a few or a large number of vortices can be formed. In the limit of many vortices, we calculate the density profile of the cloud and show that the vortex lattice stays triangular. We also find that the vortex lattice planes align themselves with the weak axis of the external potential. For a small number of vortices, we numerically solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and find vortex configurations that are very different from the vortex configurations in an axisymmetric rotating trap.

Vortices in Bose-Einstein-condensed atomic clouds

Emil Lundh, C. J. Pethick, H. Smith

The properties of vortex states in a Bose-Einstein-condensed cloud of atoms are considered at zero temperature. Using both analytical and numerical methods, we solve the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the case when a cloud of atoms containing a vortex is released from a trap. In two dimensions we find the simple result that the time dependence of the cloud radius is given by $(1+{\ensuremath{\omega}}^{2}{t}^{2}{)}^{1/2},$ where $\ensuremath{\omega}$ is the trap frequency. We calculate and compare the expansion of the vortex core and the cloud radius for different numbers of particles and interaction strengths, in both two and three dimensions, and discuss the circumstances under which vortex states may be observed experimentally.
