Stability change of a multi-charged vortex due to coupling with quadrupole mode

Abstract

We have studied collective modes of quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates with multiply-charged vortices using a variational approach. Two of the four collective modes considered exhibit coupling between the vortex dynamics and the large-scale motion of the cloud. The vortex presence causes a shift in all frequencies of collective modes even for the ones that do not couple dynamically with the vortex-core. The coupling between vortex and large-scale collective excitations can induce the multi-charged vortex to decay into singly-charged vortices with the quadrupole mode being one possible channel for such a decay. Therefore a thorough study was done about the possibility to prevent the vortex decay by applying a Gaussian potential with its width proportional to the vortex-core radius and varying its height. In such way, we created a stability diagram of height versus interaction strength which has stable regions due the static Gaussian potential. Furthermore, by using a sinusoidal time-modulation around the average height of the Gaussian potential, we have obtained a diagram for the parametric resonance which can prevent the vortex decay in regions where static potential can not.

Fractional-charge vortex in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate

Sandeep Gautam, Sadhan K. Adhikari

We classify all possible fractional charge vortices of charge less than unity in spin-1 and spin-2 polar and cyclic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with zero magnetization. Statics and dynamics of these vortices in quasi-two-dimensional spinor BECs are studied employing an accurate numerical solution and a Lagrange variational approximation. The results for density and collective-mode oscillation are illustrated using the fractional-charge BEC vortex of $^{23}\mathrm{Na}$ and $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms with realistic interaction and trapping potential parameters.

Collective oscillations of vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates under rotation

K. Machida, Takeshi Mizushima, Masanori Ichioka

We investigate low-energy collective excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with a single-vortex line or many vortices by using the microscopic theory based on the Bogoliubov-Popov formalism. The paper is divided into the following two section: (i) We first study the damping process of the quadrupole modes in a three-dimensional cigar-shaped BEC. The selective excitation of such the modes occurs during the rotation of the condensate in the opposite or same direction relative to a vortex velocity field. The dramatic change of the damping process of these modes is explained by the linear response theory. It is proposed that Kelvin modes play a leading part in the decay process of the quadrupole excitation. These results are quantitatively compared with the recent experiment on 87 Rb by Bretin et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 100403 (2003)]. (ii) In addition, the complete spectrum of the collective excitations in vortex-lattice states is obtained by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation in a two-dimensional disk-shaped BEC. We also discuss the frequency shift of totally symmetric and twofold symmetric Tkachenko modes.

Stability of quantized vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an optical lattice

Kody J. H. Law, L. Qiao, P. G. Kevrekidis +1 more

We investigate the existence and especially the linear stability of single- and multiple-charge quantized vortex states of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in the presence of a periodic and a parabolic potential in two spatial dimensions. The study is motivated by an examination of pancake-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of magnetic and optical confinement. A two-parameter space of the condensate's chemical potential versus the periodic potential's strength is scanned for both single- and double-quantized vortex states located at a local minimum or a local maximum of the lattice. Triple-charged vortices are also briefly discussed. Single-charged vortices are found to be stable for cosinusoidal potentials and unstable for sinusoidal ones above a critical strength. Higher-charge vortices are more unstable for both types of potentials, and their dynamical evolution leads to a breakup into single-charged vortices.

Dynamics of vortex quadrupoles in nonrotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

Tao Yang, Zhiqiang Hu, Shan Feng Zou +1 more

Dynamics of vortex clusters is essential for understanding diverse superfluid phenomena. In this paper, we examine the dynamics of vortex quadrupoles in a trapped two-dimensional (2D) Bose-Einstein condensate. We find that the movement of these vortex-clusters fall into three distinct regimes which are fully described by the radial positions of the vortices in a 2D isotropic harmonic trap, or by the major radius (minor radius) of the elliptical equipotential lines decided by the vortex positions in a 2D anisotropic harmonic trap. In the "recombination" and "exchange" regimes the quadrupole structure maintains, while the vortices annihilate each other permanently in the "annihilation" regime. We find that the mechanism of the charge flipping in the "exchange" regime and the disappearance of the quadrupole structure in the "annihilation" regime are both through an intermediate state where two vortex dipoles connected through a soliton ring. We give the parameter ranges for these three regimes in coordinate space for a specific initial configuration and phase diagram of the vortex positions with respect to the Thomas-Fermi radius of the condensate. We show that the results are also applicable to systems with quantum fluctuations for the short-time evolution.

Quantum Vortex in a Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensate

Tomoya Isoshima, Kazushige Machida, Tetsuo Ohmi

Quantum vortices in the multi-component Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) are investigated theoretically. It is found that three kinds of the vortex configurations are possible and their physical properties are discussed in details, including the density distribution and the spin texture. By using the Bogoliubov theory extended to the three component BEC, the collective modes for these vortices are evaluated. The local vortex stability for these vortices are examined in light of the existence of the negative eigenvalue, yielding a narrow magnetization window for the local intrinsic stable region where the multi-components work together to stabilize a vortex in a self-organized way.

Superfluid excitations in rotating two-dimensional ring traps

Guilherme Tomishiyo, Lucas Madeira, M. A. Caracanhas

We studied a rotating Bose–Einstein condensate confined in ring trap configurations that can be produced starting with a bubble trap confinement, approximated by a Mexican hat and shift harmonic oscillator potentials. Using a variational technique and perturbation theory, we determined the vortex configurations in this system by varying the interparticle interaction and the angular velocity of the atomic cloud. We found that the phase diagram of the system has macrovortex structures for small positive values of the interaction parameter, and the charge of the central vortex increases with rotation. Strengthening the atomic interaction makes the macrovortex unstable, and it decays into multiple singly charged vortices that arrange themselves in a lattice configuration. We also look for experimentally realizable methods to determine the vortex configuration without relying upon absorption imaging since the structures are not always visible in the latter. More specifically, we study how the vortex distribution affects the collective modes of the condensate by solving the Gross–Pitaevskii equation numerically and by analytical predictions using the sum-rule approach for the frequencies of the modes. These results reveal important signatures to characterize the macrovortices and vortex lattice transitions in the experiments.
