Abstract

We study the dispersion relation of Kelvin waves propagating along single- and half-quantum vortices in miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensates based on the analysis of the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equation. With the help of the interpolating formula connecting the dispersion relations in low- and high-wave-number regimes, we reveal the nontrivial dependence of the dispersion relation on the intercomponent interaction through the change in the vortex-core size of the vortical component. We also find the splitting of the Kelvin wave dispersion into gapless and gapped branches when both components have overlapping single-quantized vortices.

Quantum Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in phase-separated two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Hiromitsu Takeuchi, Naoya Suzuki, Kenichi Kasamatsu +2 more

We theoretically study the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in phase-separated two-component Bose-Einstein condensates using the Gross-Pitaevskii and Bogoliubov-de Gennes models. A flat interface between the two condensates is shown to deform into sawtooth or Stokes-type waves, leading to the formation of singly quantized vortices on the peaks and troughs of the waves. This scenario of interface instability in quantum fluids is quite different from that in classical fluids.

Dynamics of Two Quantized Vortices Belonging to Different Components of Binary Bose–Einstein Condensates in a Circular Box Potential

Junsik Han, Kenichi Kasamatsu, Makoto Tsubota

This study aims to research on dynamics of two quantized vortices in miscible two-component Bose--Einstein condensates, trapped by a circular box potential by using the Gross--Pitaevskii equation. We consider a situation in which two vortices belong to different components and they are initially close. Their dynamics are significantly different from those of a vortex pair in a single-component condensate. When two vortices are initially co-located, they are split by dynamical instability or remain co-located depending on their intercomponent interaction. If the two split vortices have the same sign of circulation, they rotate around each other. Then, the angular velocity can be given as a function of the distance between two vortices, which is understood through the equations of motion and their interaction. If the circulations of two close vortices have different signs, however, they move in the same direction initially, then overlap during the dynamics. This subsequent overlap can be categorized into two types based on the initial distance between them. The mechanism of this overlapping can be understood from the interaction between the vortex and its image vortex, which makes the two vortices close to each other even if the intrinsic interaction between them is repulsive.

Counter-rotating vortices in miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Shungo Ishino, Makoto Tsubota, Hiromitsu Takeuchi

Counter-rotating vortices in miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, in which superflows counter-rotate between the two components around the overlapped vortex cores, are studied theoretically in a pancake-shaped potential. In a linear stability analysis with the Bogoliubov--de Gennes model, we show that counter-rotating vortices are dynamically unstable against splitting into multiple vortices. The instability shows characteristic behaviors as a result of counter-superflow instability, which causes relaxation of relative flows between the two components in binary condensates. The characteristic behaviors are completely different from those of multiquantum vortices in single-component Bose-Einstein condensates; the number of vortices generated by the instability can become larger than the initial winding number of the counter-rotating vortex. We also investigate the nonlinear dynamics of the instability by numerically solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The nonlinear dynamics drastically changes when the winding number of counter-rotating vortices becomes larger, which lead to nucleation of vortex pairs outside of the vortex core. The instability eventually develops into turbulence after the relaxation of the relative rotation between the two components.

Short-range intervortex interaction and interacting dynamics of half-quantized vortices in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Kenichi Kasamatsu, Minoru Eto, Muneto Nitta

We study the interaction and dynamics of two half-quantized vortices in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. Using the Pad\'e approximation for the vortex core profile, we calculate the intervortex potential, whose asymptotic form for a large distance has been derived by Eto et al. [Phys. Rev. A 83, 063603 (2011)]. Through numerical simulations of the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equations, we reveal different kinds of dynamical trajectories of the vortices depending on the combinations of signs of circulations and the intercomponent density coupling. Under the adiabatic limit, we derive the equations of motion for the vortex coordinates, in which the motion is caused by the balance between Magnus force and the intervortex forces. The initial velocity of the vortex motion can be explained quantitatively by this point vortex approximation, but understanding the long-time behavior of the dynamics needs more consideration beyond our model.

Collective modes of vortex lattices in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates under synthetic gauge fields

Takumi Yoshino, Shunsuke Furukawa, Sho Higashikawa +1 more

We study collective modes of vortex lattices in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates subject to synthetic magnetic fields in mutually parallel or antiparallel directions. By means of the Bogoliubov theory with the lowest-Landau-level approximation, we numerically calculate the excitation spectra for a rich variety of vortex lattices that appear commonly for parallel and antiparallel synthetic fields. We find that in all of these cases there appear two distinct modes with linear and quadratic dispersion relations at low energies, which exhibit anisotropy reflecting the symmetry of each lattice structure. Remarkably, the low-energy spectra for the two types of fields are found to be related to each other by simple rescaling when vortices in different components overlap owing to an intercomponent attraction. These results are consistent with an effective field theory analysis. However, the rescaling relations break down for interlaced vortex lattices appearing with an intercomponent repulsion, indicating a nontrivial effect of an intercomponent vortex displacement beyond the effective field theory. We also find that high-energy parts of the excitation bands exhibit line or point nodes as a consequence of a fractional translation symmetry present in some of the lattice structures.

Phase separation of quantized vortices in two-component miscible Bose-Einstein condensates in a two-dimensional box potential

Junsik Han, Makoto Tsubota

The dynamics of quantized vortices in two-dimensional two-component miscible Bose-Einstein condensates trapped by a box potential has been numerically studied using the Gross-Pitaevskii model. We have discovered a phenomenon where the vortices of the two components spatially separate from each other, which we call the phase separation of the distribution of vortices. This phase separation occurs when the intercomponent coupling is strong. Onsager vortices, on the other hand, are formed in both components when the intercomponent coupling is weak. We distinguish between Onsager vortices and phase-separated vortices by two types of effective distances between vortices. The dependence of the transition between the Onsager vortices and phase-separated vortices on the intercomponent interaction is also studied.
