Exact ground-state correlation functions of an atomic-molecular Bose–Einstein condensate model

Abstract

We study the ground-state properties of an atomic-molecular Bose–Einstein condensate model through an exact Bethe Ansatz solution. For a certain range of parameter choices, we prove that the ground-state Bethe roots lie on the positive real-axis. We then use a continuum limit approach to obtain a singular integral equation characterising the distribution of these Bethe roots. Solving this equation leads to an analytic expression for the ground-state energy. The form of the expression is consistent with the existence of a line of quantum phase transitions, which has been identified in earlier studies. This line demarcates a molecular phase from a mixed phase. Certain correlation functions, which characterise these phases, are then obtained through the Hellmann–Feynman theorem.

Ground-state Bethe root densities and quantum phase transitions

Jon Links, Ian Marquette

Exactly solvable models provide a unique method, via qualitative changes in the distribution of the ground-state roots of the Bethe ansatz equations, to identify quantum phase transitions. Here we expand on this approach, in a quantitative manner, for two models of Bose–Einstein condensates. The first model deals with the interconversion of bosonic atoms and molecules. The second is the two-site Bose–Hubbard model, widely used to describe tunneling phenomena in Bose–Einstein condensates. For these systems we calculate the ground-state root density. This facilitates the determination of analytic forms for the ground-state energy, and associated correlation functions through the Hellmann–Feynman theorem. These calculations provide a clear identification of the quantum phase transition in each model. For the first model we obtain an expression for the molecular fraction expectation value. For the two-site Bose–Hubbard model we find that there is a simple characterization of condensate fragmentation.

EXACT SOLUTION, SCALING BEHAVIOUR AND QUANTUM DYNAMICS OF A MODEL OF AN ATOM-MOLECULE BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATE

Huan-Qiang Zhou, Jon Links, ROSS H. McKENZIE

We study the exact solution for a two-mode model describing coherent coupling between atomic and molecular Bose–Einstein condensates (BEC), in the context of the Bethe ansatz. By combining an asymptotic and numerical analysis, we identify the scaling behaviour of the model and determine the zero temperature expectation value for the coherence and average atomic occupation. The threshold coupling for production of the molecular BEC is identified as the point at which the energy gap is minimum. Our numerical results indicate a parity effect for the energy gap between ground and first excited state depending on whether the total atomic number is odd or even. The numerical calculations for the quantum dynamics reveals a smooth transition from the atomic to the molecular BEC.

Richardson—Gaudin form of Bethe Ansatz solutions for an atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensate model

Yibing Shen, Jon Links

An integrable model describing the interconversion between Bose-Einstein condensates of atomic and molecular degrees of freedom is studied. An exact solution for this model has been previously derived via the algebraic Bethe Ansatz formalism. Here we derive an alternative solution of the Richardson-Gaudin form, and highlight some of the implications of the result.

Exactly solvable models for tri-atomic molecular Bose–Einstein condensates

G Santos, Angela Foerster, I. Roditi +2 more

We construct a family of tri-atomic models for heteronuclear and homonuclear molecular Bose–Einstein condensates. We show that these new generalized models are exactly solvable through the algebraic Bethe ansatz method and derive their corresponding Bethe ansatz equations and energies.

Exact results for a tunnel-coupled pair of trapped Bose Einstein condensates

Huan-Qiang Zhou, Jon Links, Ross H. McKenzie +1 more

A model describing coherent quantum tunnelling between two trapped Bose–Einstein condensates is discussed. It is not well known that the model admits an exact solution, obtained some time ago, with the energy spectrum derived through the algebraic Bethe ansatz. An asymptotic analysis of the Bethe ansatz equations leads us to explicit expressions for the energies of the ground and the first excited states in the limit of weak tunnelling and all energies for strong tunnelling. The results are used to extract the asymptotic limits of the quantum fluctuations of the boson number difference between the two Bose–Einstein condensates and to characterize the degree of coherence in the system.

A Bethe ansatz study of the ground state energy for the repulsive Bose–Hubbard dimer

Jon Links, Shao-you Zhao A

We employ an exact Bethe ansatz solution to study the repulsive Bose–Hubbard dimer model. Using a continuum approximation we solve for the ground state root density and in turn compute the ground state energy per particle. The formula so obtained is accurate for a finite-sized system in the weak coupling limit. Surprisingly, the formula diverges from the numerically calculated value as the number of particles increases. This indicates that the formula fails to predict the ground state energy per particle in the thermodynamic limit.
