Universality of an Impurity in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Abstract

The concept of universality allows physicists to construct descriptions of systems that are independent of the precise underlying details. New theoretical work extends this to systems composed of bosonic particles, finding that in at least one case there are universal features that are model independent.

Universality in Terms of The BECs Bloch-Sphere Manipulations

Genji Fujii

Quantum computing promises to outperform classical computing for certain computational tasks. One of the key concepts underlying this potential is universality. Universality has been extensively studied not only for qubits but also for higher-dimensional quantum systems, such as qutrits and qudits, which span Hilbert spaces of dimension greater than two. However, the concept of universality in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) qubit systems, which have been proposed relatively recently, remains insufficiently understood. In this work, we analyzed universality in BECs qubit systems. Our results clarify the theoretical aspects of universality in quantum computation within the class of ((N+1))-dimensional representations of SU(2), taking into account two distinct representations of the quantum states.

Polaritons for testing the universality of an impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Arturo Camacho-Guardian

The propagation of slow light encodes the universal features of a strongly interacting impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate. The author proposes the use of polariton physics as a nondestructive measurement tool for impurity physics and to investigate polaron physics in the single-impurity limit.

Theory of a resonantly interacting impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Moritz Drescher, Manfred Salmhofer B, Tilman Enss

This paper investigates an impurity particle that strongly perturbs a surrounding Bose-Einstein condensate. The authors propose a new theoretical description of locally deformed Bose gases that includes strong short-range correlations, which leads to a nonlocal extension of Gross-Pitaevskii theory.

Mixed-dimensional Bose polaron

Niels Jakob Søe Loft, Zhigang Wu, Georg M. Bruun

A new generation of cold atom experiments trapping atomic mixtures in species-selective optical potentials opens up the intriguing possibility to create systems in which different atoms live in different spatial dimensions. Inspired by this, we investigate a mixed-dimensional Bose polaron consisting of an impurity particle moving in a two-dimensional (2D) layer immersed in a 3D Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), using a theory that includes the mixed-dimensional vacuum scattering between the impurity and the bosons exactly. We show that similarly to the pure 3D case, this system exhibits a well-defined polaron state for attractive boson-impurity interaction that evolves smoothly into a mixed-dimensional dimer for strong attraction, as well as a well-defined polaron state for weak repulsive interaction, which becomes overdamped for strong interaction. We furthermore find that the properties of the polaron depend only weakly on the gas parameter of the BEC as long as the Bogoliubov theory remains a valid description for the BEC. This indicates that higher-order correlations between the impurity and the bosons are suppressed by the mixed-dimensional geometry in comparison to a pure 3D system, which led us to speculate that the mixed-dimensional polaron has universal properties in the unitarity limit of the impurity-boson interaction.
