Two-dimensional dipolar Bose gas with the roton-maxon excitation spectrum

Abstract

We discuss fluctuations in a dilute two-dimensional Bose-condensed dipolar gas, which has a roton-maxon character of the excitation spectrum. We calculate the density-density correlation function, fluctuation corrections to the chemical potential, compressibility, and normal (superfluid) fraction. It is shown that the presence of the roton strongly enhances fluctuations of the density, and we establish the validity criterion of the Bogoliubov approach. At $T=0$ the condensate depletion becomes significant if the roton minimum is sufficiently close to 0. At finite temperatures exceeding the roton energy, the effect of thermal fluctuations is stronger and it may lead to a large normal fraction of the gas and compressibility.

Effects of Thermally Induced Roton‐Like Excitation on the Superfluid Density of a Quasi‐2D Dipolar Bose Condensed Gas

H. Yavari, Forouzan Forouharmanesh

Abstract Using the Green's function approach, the density–density correlation function and the dielectric function in the random‐phase approximation for a quasi‐two‐dimensional (quasi‐2D) dipolar Bose gas are derived. From the pole of the density correlation function, by considering thermally induced roton‐like excitations, the excitation spectrum of the system is calculated. It is shown that the position and depth of the roton minimum of the excitation spectrum are tunable by changing the temperature. To show how the position of the roton minimum influences the phenomenon of superfluidity, the superfluid density of the system is obtained and it is shown that the interplay of the thermal rotonization, contact and dipole–dipole interaction (DDI) can affect the superfluid fraction of a quasi‐2D Bose gas. It is found that contact, DDI interactions, and thermally induced rotons enhance the fluctuations and reduce the superfluid density. In the absence of DDI and thermally induced rotons, the usual T3 dependence of superfluid density in 2D is obtained and the correction T4 term arises from DDI. It is shown that if the roton minimum is close to zero, the thermally induced rotons change the linear temperature dependence of the superfluid fraction, leading to a transition to nontrivial supersolid phase.

Theory of excitations of dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate at finite temperature

Abdelâali Boudjemâa

We present a systematic study of dilute three-dimensional dipolar Bose gas employing a finite temperature perturbation theory (beyond the mean field). We analyze in particular the behavior of the anomalous density, we find that this quantity has a finite value in the limit of weak interactions at both zero and finite temperatures. We show that the presence of the dipole–dipole interaction enhances fluctuations, the second order correlation function and thermodynamic quantities such as the chemical potential, the ground state energy, the compressibility and the superfluid fraction. We identify the validity criterion of the small parameter of the theory for Bose-condensed dipolar gases.

Thermodynamics of a two-dimensional dipolar Bose gas with correlated disorder in the roton regime

Abdelâali Boudjemâa

Abstract We study the impact of a weak random potential with a Gaussian correlation function on the thermodynamics of a two-dimensional dipolar bosonic gas. Analytical expressions for the quantum depletion, anomalous density, the ground state energy, the equation of state and the sound velocity are derived in the roton regime within the framework of the Bogoliubov theory. Surprisingly, we find that the condensate depletion and the anomalous density are comparable. The structure factor and the superfluid fraction are also obtained analytically and numerically. We show that these quantities acquire dramatically modified profiles when the roton is close to zero yielding the transition to an unusual quantum state.

Roton-Maxon Spectrum and Stability of Trapped Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates

Luis Santos, Gora V. Shlyapnikov, Maciej Lewenstein

We find that pancake dipolar condensates can exhibit a roton-maxon character of the excitation spectrum, so far observed only in superfluid helium. We also obtain a condition for the dynamical stability of these condensates. The spectrum and the border of instability are tunable by varying the particle density and/or the confining potential. This opens wide possibilities for manipulating the superfluid properties of dipolar condensates.

Probing the Roton Excitation Spectrum of a Stable Dipolar Bose Gas

Daniel Petter, G. Natale, Rick van Bijnen +4 more

We measure the excitation spectrum of a stable dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate over a wide momentum range via Bragg spectroscopy. We precisely control the relative strength ε_{dd} of the dipolar to the contact interactions and observe that the spectrum increasingly deviates from the linear phononic behavior for increasing ε_{dd}. Reaching the dipolar-dominated regime ε_{dd}>1, we observe the emergence of a roton minimum in the spectrum and its softening towards instability. We characterize how the excitation energy and the strength of the density-density correlations at the roton momentum vary with ε_{dd}. Our findings are in excellent agreement with numerical calculations based on mean-field Bogoliubov theory. When including beyond-mean-field corrections, in the form of a Lee-Huang-Yang potential, we observe a quantitative deviation from the experiment, questioning the validity of such a description in the roton regime.

Roton entanglement in quenched dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

Zehua Tian, Seok-Yeong Chä, Uwe R. Fischer

We study quasi-two-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates, in which the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum displays, at sufficiently large gas density, a deep roton minimum due to the spatially anisotropic behavior of the dipolar two-body potential. A rapid quench, performed on the speed of sound of excitations propagating on the condensate background, leads to the dynamical Casimir effect, which can be characterized by measuring the density-density correlation function. It is shown, for both zero and finite initial temperatures, that the continuous-variable bipartite quantum state of the created quasiparticle pairs with opposite momenta, resulting from the quench, displays an enhanced potential for the presence of entanglement (represented by nonseparable and steerable quasiparticle states), when compared to a gas with solely repulsive contact interactions. Steerable quasiparticle pairs contain momenta from close to the roton, and hence quantum correlations significantly increase in the presence of a deep roton minimum.
