Abstract

We study the effect of intercondensate dipole-dipole interactions in a setup consisting of physically disconnected, single-species dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. In particular, making use of the long-range and anisotropic nature of dipole-dipole interactions, we show that the density of a target dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate can be axially confined and engineered using a trapped control dipolar condensate. Increasing the number of control condensates leads to exotic ground-state structures, including periodic patterns in the target condensate. These periodic patterns display a structural transition between single- and double-peaked structures with coherence between the peaks controlled via the separation between the control condensates.

Ground state of a two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a coupled annular potential

Zhang Xiao-Fei, Pei Zhang, Guangping Chen +3 more

By using the imaginary-time propagation method, we study the ground state structure of a two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a coupled annular potential. The effects of contact and dipole-dipole interaction on the ground state density distribution of such a system are investigated in detail. The results show that the dipole-dipole interaction, acting as a new degree of freedom, can be used to obtain the desired ground state phases, and to control the phase transition between different ground states.

Ground States of Dipolar Spin–Orbit-Coupled Bose–Einstein Condensates in a Toroidal Trap

Hui Yang, Qingbo Wang, Linghua Wen

We investigate the ground-state structures of dipolar spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates in a toroidal trap. Combined effects of dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the ground states of the system are discussed. A ground-state phase diagram is obtained as a function of the SOC and DDI strengths. As two new degrees of freedom, the DDI and SOC can be used to obtain the desired ground-state phases and to control the phase transition between various ground states. In particular, the system displays exotic topological structures and spin textures, such as half-quantum vortex, vortex string, vortex necklace, complex vortex lattice including giant vortex and hidden antivortex chains, different skyrmions, meron (half-skyrmion)-antimeron (half-antiskyrmion) necklace, and composite meron-antimeron lattice.

Ring solids and supersolids in spherical shell-shaped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

Juan Sánchez-Baena, Raúl Bombín, Jordi Boronat

We study the interplay between the anisotropy of the dipole-dipole interaction and confinement in a curved geometry by means of the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which allows us to characterize the ground state of a dipolar Bose gas under the confinement of a bubble trapping potential. We do so in terms of the scattering length a and the number of particles. We observe the emergence of a wide variety of dipolar solids, consisting on arrangements of different number of droplets along a ring over the equator of the spherical shell confinement. We also show that the transition between the different phases of the system can be engineered by varying a , the number of particles or the radius of the trap, parameters, which can be experimentally tuned. Finally, we show the importance of working in microgravity conditions as gravity unstabilizes the observed dipolar solids. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Bose-Einstein condensation of trapped atoms with dipole interactions

Kwangsik T. Nho, David Paul Landau

The path-integral Monte Carlo method is used to simulate dilute trapped Bose gases and to investigate the equilibrium properties at finite temperatures. The quantum particles have a long-range dipole-dipole interaction and a short-range $s$-wave interaction. Using an anisotropic pseudopotential for the long-range dipolar interaction and a hard-sphere potential for the short-range $s$-wave interaction, we calculate the energetics and structural properties as a function of temperature and the number of particles. Also, in order to determine the effects of dipole-dipole forces and the influence of the trapping field on the dipolar condensate, we use two cylindrically symmetric harmonic confinements (a cigar-shaped trap and a disk-shaped trap). We find that the net effect of dipole-dipole interactions is governed by the trapping geometry. For a cigar-shaped trap, the net contribution of dipolar interactions is attractive and the shrinking of the density profiles is observed. For a disk-shaped trap, the net effect of long-range dipolar forces is repulsive and the density profiles expand.

Manifestations of the Roton Mode in Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates

Ryan Wilson, Shai Ronen, John L. Bohn +1 more

We investigate the structure of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with long-range anisotropic dipolar interactions. We find that a small perturbation in the trapping potential can lead to dramatic changes in the condensate's density profile for sufficiently large dipolar interaction strengths and trap aspect ratios. By employing perturbation theory, we relate these oscillations to a previously identified "rotonlike" mode in dipolar BECs. The same physics is responsible for radial density oscillations in vortex states of dipolar BECs that have been predicted previously.

Bose–Einstein condensates with long-range interactions

Paulsamy Muruganandam, Ramaswamy Radha

Chapter 8 is devoted to the analysis of dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates with long-range anisotropic tunable dipole–dipole interactions, using mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equations in one-, two-, and three-dimensional traps. Split-step Crank–Nicolson method, Gaussian variational approach, and Thomas–Fermi approximations are applied to study ground-state properties, nonlinear excitations, and stability across trap geometries.
