Abstract

Further development of the method of quantum hydrodynamics in application for Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is presented. To consider evolution of polarization direction along with particles movement we have developed corresponding set of quantum hydrodynamic equations. It includes equations of the polarization evolution and the polarization current evolution along with the continuity equation and the Euler equation (the momentum balance equation). Dispersion properties of the transverse waves including the electromagnetic waves propagating through the BECs are considered. To this end we consider full set of the Maxwell equations for description of electromagnetic field dynamics. This approximation gives us possibility to consider the electromagnetic waves along with the matter waves. We find a splitting of the electromagnetic wave dispersion on two branches. As a result we have four solutions, two for the electromagnetic waves and two for the matter waves, the last two are the concentration-polarization waves appearing as a generalization of the Bogoliubov mode. We also obtain that if the matter wave propagate perpendicular to external electric field when dipolar contribution does not disappear (as it follows from our generalization of the Bogoliubov spectrum). In this case exist a small dipolar frequency shift due to transverse electric field of perturbation.

Dipole-dipole interaction and polarization mode in BEC

Pavel A. Andreev, L. S. Kuz’menkov

We propose the construction of a set of quantum hydrodynamics equations for the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) where atoms have electric dipole moment (EDM). The contribution of the dipole-dipole interactions (DDI) to the Euler equation is estimated. Quantum equations for the evolution of medium polarization are constructed for the first time. The mathematical method we developed allows studying the effects of interactions on the evolution of polarization. The developed method may be applied to various physical systems in which dynamics is affected by DDI. A problem of elementary excitations in BEC, either affected or not affected by the uniform external electric field, is addressed using our method. We show that the evolution of polarization in BEC leads to the formation of a novel type of elementary excitations. Also, we consider the process of wave generation in polarized BEC by means of monoenergetic beam of neutral polarized particles. We compute the possibilities of the generation of Bogoliubov's modes and polarization modes by the dipole beam.

Longitudinal waves in electrically polarized quantum Fermi gas: quantum hydrodynamics approximation

Pavel A. Andreev

The method of many-particle quantum hydrodynamics has been recently developed, particularly this method has been used for an electrically polarized Bose-Einstein condensate. In this paper, we present the development of this method for an electrically polarized three dimensional Fermi gas. We derive corresponding dynamical equations: equation polarization and equation of polarization current evolution as well as the Euler and continuity equations. We study dispersion dependencies of collective excitations in a polarized Fermi gas and consider interference of an equilibrium polarization on dispersion properties.

Self-consistent spin waves in magnetized BEC

Pavel A. Andreev

We obtain equations of quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) for magnetized spin-1 neutral Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). System of QHD equations contains the equation of magnetic moment evolution (an analog of the Bloch equation). We account spin-spin interaction along with the short range interaction. We consider self-consistent field approximation of QHD equations. Starting from QHD equation we derive the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for magnetized BEC. We show that Gross-Pitaevskii equation exists under condition that the magnetic moment direction is not change. Using obtained QHD equations we study the dispersion of collective excitation. As in electrically polarized BEC [P. A. Andreev, L. S. Kuz'menkov, arXiv: 1201.2440], in the magnetically polarized BEC there is second wave mode (polarization mode or spin wave), in addition to the Bogoliubov's mode. Second wave solution appears due to the magnetic moment evolution. The influence of magnetization on dispersion of Bogoliubov's mode is found. We found strong difference of dispersion properties of waves in magnetized BEC from electrically polarized BEC.

Quantum hydrodynamics description of spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensates

Mariya Iv. Trukhanova, Yuri N. Obukhov

Abstract We develop a novel model of the magnetized spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of neutral atoms, using the method of many-particle quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) and propose an original derivation of the system of continual equations. We consider bosons with a spin-spin interaction and a short range interaction in the first order in the interaction radius, on the of basis of the self-consistent field approximation of the QHD equations. We demonstrate that the dynamics of the fluid velocity and magnetization is determined by a nontrivial modification of the Euler and Landau–Lifshitz equation, and show that a nontrivial modification of the spin density evolution equation contains the spin torque effect that arises from the self-interactions between spins of the bosons. The properties of the dispersion spectrum of collective excitations are described. We obtain the new contribution of the self-interaction of spins in the spin wave spectrum together with the influence of an external magnetic field and spin-spin interactions between polarized particles. The anisotropic spin wave instability is predicted.

Quantum hydrodynamic theory of quantum fluctuations in dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate

Pavel A. Andreev

Traditional quantum hydrodynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is restricted by the continuity and Euler equations. The quantum Bohm potential (the quantum part of the momentum flux) has a nontrivial part that can evolve under quantum fluctuations. The quantum fluctuations are the effect of the appearance of particles in the excited states during the evolution of BEC mainly consisting of the particles in the quantum state with the lowest energy. To cover this phenomenon in terms of hydrodynamic methods, we need to derive equations for the momentum flux and the current of the momentum flux. The current of the momentum flux evolution equation contains the interaction leading to the quantum fluctuations. In the dipolar BECs, we deal with the long-range interaction. Its contribution is proportional to the average macroscopic potential of the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) appearing in the mean-field regime. The current of the momentum flux evolution equation contains the third derivative of this potential. It is responsible for the dipolar part of quantum fluctuations. Higher derivatives correspond to the small scale contributions of the DDI. The quantum fluctuations lead to the existence of the second wave solution. The quantum fluctuations introduce the instability of the BECs. If the dipole-dipole interaction is attractive, but being smaller than the repulsive short-range interaction presented by the first interaction constant, there is the long-wavelength instability. There is a more complex picture for the repulsive DDI. There is the small area with the long-wavelength instability that transits into a stability interval where two waves exist.

Propagation of electromagnetic waves in Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms with dipole moments

Yu. M. Poluéktov, I. V. Tanatarov

We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms with both intrinsic dipole moments and those induced by the electric field. The modified Gross--Pitaevskii equation is used, which takes into account relaxation and interaction with the electromagnetic field. Two cases are considered: 1) when the dispersion curves of the electromagnetic wave and of the condensate excitations do not intercross and 2) when the condensate excitations' spectrum has a gap and the two dispersion curves do intercross. In the second case the two branches hybridize. It is shown that propagation of sound waves can be accompanied by oscillation of the electromagnetic field. The impact is studied of the dipole-dipole interaction on the character of electromagnetic and acoustic waves' propagation in the Bose-Einstein condensate.
