Abstract

We study the emergence of density waves in quasi-one-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) when the strength of dipole-dipole atomic interactions is periodically varied in time. The proposed theoretical model based on the evolution of small perturbations of the background density allows one to calculate the instability growth rate for an arbitrary set of input parameters, thereby identifying instability regions with respect to density waves. We find that among other modes of the system the roton mode is most effectively excited due to a significant contribution of subharmonics of the excitation frequency. The frequency of temporal oscillations of emerging density waves coincides with half of the driving frequency, which is the hallmark of the parametric resonance and is characteristic of Faraday waves. The possibility to create density waves in dipolar BECs, which can persist after emergence, is demonstrated. The existence of a standing-wave solution of the nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation is revealed from numerical simulations. The effect of three-body atomic interactions, which is relevant to condensates with increased density, upon the properties of emerging waves is analyzed too. Significant modification of the condensate's excitation spectrum owing to three-body effects is shown.

Faraday pattern formations in temporally driven Rydberg-dressed Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate both analytically and numerically the dynamics of Rydberg-dressed Bose-Einstein condensates subjected to periodic modulation of the nonlocal repulsive interactions in time through temporally modulated control laser field. We show that, by utilizing such a control laser field, the nonlocal nonlinear interactions may be tuned actively, and hence a plane-wave state of matter wave can undergo a roton instability (RI) and Faraday instability (FI) simultaneously or separately, depending on the choice of the system parameters. Specifically, based on Floquet stability analysis, we find the evolution of small perturbations of the background allows the instability growth, thereby identifying instability regions with respect to density waves. Furthermore, we find that among other modes of the system the roton mode is most effectively excited due to a significant contribution of subharmonics of the excitation frequency. From the direct numerical simulations of nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and the Fourier analysis on profile of the density waves, we further show the frequency of temporal oscillations of density waves coincides with half of the driving frequency, which, therefore, is the evidence of the parametric resonance and is characteristic of Faraday waves. In addition, an interesting possibility would be to generate a steady stand-wave in the condensate which can persist after the creation even though canceling the modulation, and finally the two-dimensional Faraday waves are excited through manipulating local or nonlocal nonlinear coefficients in the system.

Faraday and Resonant Waves in Dipolar Cigar-Shaped Bose-Einstein Condensates

D. Vudragović, Antun Balaž

Faraday and resonant density waves emerge in Bose-Einstein condensates as a result of harmonic driving of the system. They represent nonlinear excitations and are generated due to the interaction-induced coupling of collective oscillation modes and the existence of parametric resonances. Using a mean-field variational and a full numerical approach, we studied density waves in dipolar condensates at zero temperature, where breaking of the symmetry due to anisotropy of the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) plays an important role. We derived variational equations of motion for the dynamics of a driven dipolar system and identify the most unstable modes that correspond to the Faraday and resonant waves. Based on this, we derived the analytical expressions for spatial periods of both types of density waves as functions of the contact and the DDI strength. We compared the obtained variational results with the results of extensive numerical simulations that solve the dipolar Gross-Pitaevskii equation in 3D, and found a very good agreement.

Faraday waves in Bose–Einstein condensates with engineering three-body interactions

F Kh Abdullaev, A Gammal, Lauro Tomio

Abstract We consider Bose–Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions periodically varying in time. Two models of time-dependent three-body interactions, with quadratic and quartic dependence on the two-body atomic scattering length a s , are studied. It is shown that parametric instabilities in the condensate lead to the generation of Faraday waves (FWs), with wavelengths depending on the background scattering length, as well as on the frequency and amplitude of the modulations of a s . From an experimental perspective, this opens a new possibility to tune the period of Faraday patterns by varying not only the frequency of modulations and background scattering length, but also the amplitude of the modulations. The latter effect can be used to estimate the parameters of three-body interactions from the FW experimental results. Theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations of the corresponding extended Gross–Pitaevskii equation.

PARAMETRIC EXCITATION OF SOLITONS IN DIPOLAR BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

A. Benseghir, W. A. T. Wan Abdullah, Bakhram Umarov +1 more

In this paper, we study the response of a Bose–Einstein condensate with strong dipole–dipole atomic interactions to periodically varying perturbation. The dynamics is governed by the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with additional nonlinear term, corresponding to a nonlocal dipolar interactions. The mathematical model, based on the variational approximation, has been developed and applied to parametric excitation of the condensate due to periodically varying coefficient of nonlocal nonlinearity. The model predicts the waveform of solitons in dipolar condensates and describes their small amplitude dynamics quite accurately. Theoretical predictions are verified by numerical simulations of the nonlocal Gross–Pitaevskii equation and good agreement between them is found. The results can lead to better understanding of the properties of ultra-cold quantum gases, such as 52 Cr , 164 Dy and 168 Er , where the long-range dipolar atomic interactions dominate the usual contact interactions.

Faraday patterns in coupled one-dimensional dipolar condensates

Kazimierz Łakomy, Rejish Nath, Luis Santos

We study Faraday patterns in quasi-one-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates with parametrically driven dipolar interactions. We show that in the presence of a roton minimum in the excitation spectrum, the emergent Faraday waves differ substantially in two- and one-dimensional geometries, providing a clear example of the key role of confinement dimensionality in dipolar gases. Moreover, Faraday patterns constitute an excellent tool to study nonlocal effects in polar gases, as we illustrate with two parallel quasi-one-dimensional dipolar condensates. Nonlocal interactions between the condensates give rise to an excitation spectrum characterized by symmetric and antisymmetric modes, even in the absence of hopping. We show that this feature, absent in nondipolar gases, results in a critical driving frequency at which a marked transition occurs between correlated and anticorrelated Faraday patterns in the two condensates. Interestingly, at this critical frequency, the emergent Faraday pattern stems from a spontaneous symmetry-breaking mechanism.

Dynamical stability of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates with temporal modulation of the s -wave scattering length

Subramaniyan Sabari, Chandroth P. Jisha, Kuppuswamy Porsezian +1 more

We study the stabilization properties of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate by temporal modulation of short-range two-body interaction. Through both analytical and numerical methods, we analyze the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation with short-range two-body and long-range, nonlocal, dipolar interaction terms. We derive the equation of motion and effective potential of the dipolar condensate by variational method. We show that there is an enhancement of the condensate stability due to the inclusion of dipolar interaction in addition to the two-body contact interaction. We also show that the stability of the dipolar condensate increases in the presence of time varying two-body contact interaction; the temporal modification of the contact interaction prevents the collapse of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. Finally we confirm the semi-analytical prediction through the direct numerical simulations of the governing equation.
