Abstract

This paper presents a shortcut to adiabaticity for ramps of the interparticle interaction strength of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the Thomas-Fermi regime. The authors show how the method can be used to increase the power and efficiency of a Feshbach engine.

Recent studies of Feshbach resonance in the field of Bose-Einstein condensation

Yin Lan

Feshbach resonance is currently a very hot topic in the area of Bose-Einstein condensation, and has already been observed in most low\|temperature alkali gases. In these systems the interaction between atoms can be tuned from strong repulsion to strong attraction. A detailed overview is guven of the Feshbach resonance and two of its most important aspects, the superfluid phase in Fermi gases and the strong\|interaction regime in Bose gases.

Feshbach engine in the Thomas-Fermi regime

Tim Keller, Thomás Fogarty, Jing Li +1 more

Bose-Einstein condensates can be used to produce work by tuning the strength of the interparticle interactions with the help of Feshbach resonances. In inhomogeneous potentials, these interaction ramps change the volume of the trapped gas, allowing one to create a thermodynamic cycle known as the Feshbach engine. However, in order to obtain a large power output, the engine strokes must be performed on a short timescale, which is in contrast to the fact that the efficiency of the engine is reduced by irreversible work if the strokes are done in a nonadiabatic fashion. Here we investigate how such an engine can be run in the Thomas-Fermi regime and present a shortcut to adiabaticity that minimizes the irreversible work and allows for efficient engine operation.

Shortcuts to adiabaticity in anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates

Chinmayee Mishra, Thomas Busch, Thomás Fogarty

Abstract We propose shortcut to adiabaticity protocols for Bose–Einstein condensates trapped in generalized anisotropic harmonic traps in three dimensions. These protocols enable high-fidelity tuning of trap geometries on time scales much faster than those required for adiabatic processes and are robust across a wide range of interaction strengths, from weakly interacting regimes to the Thomas-Fermi limit. Using the same approach, we also design STA paths to rapidly drive interaction strengths in both isotropic and anisotropic traps. Comparisons with standard linear ramps of system parameters demonstrate significant improvements in performance. Finally, we apply these STA techniques to a unitary engine cycle with a BEC as the working medium. The STA methods significantly enhance the engine’s power output without reducing efficiency and remain highly effective even after multiple consecutive cycles.
