Dynamics of two-dimensional Bose gases in the focusing case

Abstract

We prove the propagation of Bose--Einstein condensation and a norm approximation for the dynamics of a Bose gas with localized initial data in two dimensions with singular interactions that may have a small attractive part. We allow the scaling of the interaction to be any polynomial scaling $N^β$ for $0<β<\infty$ and even exponential scaling $e^{N^κ}$ for $0<κ<1/4$. Our approach covers external potentials that are time-dependent, at most quadratic, and bounded below, including the situation without an external potential.

Dynamical and spectral properties of bose gases with singular interactions

Chiara Boccato

Bose-Einstein condensates have been experimentally realized in cold Bose gases for the first time in 1995.This discovery has renewed interest in the theory of interacting Bose gases; however, the mathematical understanding of Bose-Einstein condensation is still incomplete.In this thesis we derive effective theories for the dynamical and spectral properties of Bose gases.Our theoretical description is based on scaling regimes where the number of particles N becomes large and the two-body interaction potential scales as N 3β-1 V (N β •), for a fixed β ∈ (0, 1].The case β = 1 is known as Gross-Pitaevskii regime.Our first result concerns the time evolution of Bose-Einstein condensates after the trapping potential is removed.In previous works, it was shown that the many-body dynamics can be approximated by a one-body nonlinear Schrödinger equation at the level of reduced density matrices.We provide a more precise approximation of the time evolution: in a second-quantized setting, we construct a unitary effective dynamics, which, in the limit of large N , approximates the fully evolved state in Fock space norm.Our result comes with an explicit bound on the rate of convergence.It is valid for β < 1.Our second result addresses the properties of the ground state wave function.It has been shown before that the ground state wave function exhibits condensation in the limit N → ∞, i.e. the one-particle density matrix associated to the ground state approaches a projection.We prove the optimal bound for the convergence rate, for a translation invariant system.To do this, we estimate uniformly in N the number of excited particles.This result is valid for β = 1.Our last result concerns the ground state energy and the excitation spectrum of the translation invariant system.We prove the validity of Bogoliubov theory; this allows us to compute the ground state energy and the low-lying excitation spectrum up to an error that vanishes for large N .This result holds for β < 1.This thesis is based on the articles [11], [9] and [10].i

Superfluid Bose gas in two dimensions

Stefan Floerchinger, CHRISTOF WETTERICH

We investigate Bose-Einstein condensation for ultracold bosonic atoms in two-dimensional systems. The functional renormalization group for the average action allows us to follow the effective interactions from molecular scales (microphysics) to the characteristic extension of the probe $l$ (macrophysics). In two dimensions the scale dependence of the dimensionless interaction strength $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ is logarithmic. Furthermore, for large $l$ the frequency dependence of the inverse propagator becomes quadratic. We find an upper bound for $\ensuremath{\lambda}$, and for large $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ substantial deviations from the Bogoliubov results for the condensate depletion, the dispersion relation and the sound velocity. The melting of the condensate above the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ is associated to a phase transition of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type. The critical temperature in units of the density ${T}_{c}∕n$ vanishes for $l\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ logarithmically.

On One-Dimensional Bose Gases with Two-Body and (Critical) Attractive Three-Body Interactions

Dinh-Thi Nguyen, Julien Ricaud

Abstract. We consider a one-dimensional, trapped, focusing Bose gas where [Formula: see text] bosons interact with each other via both a two-body interaction potential of the form [Formula: see text] and an attractive three-body interaction potential of the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. The system is stable either for any [Formula: see text] as long as [Formula: see text] —the critical strength of the one-dimensional focusing quintic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation— or for [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text]. In the former case, fixing [Formula: see text], we prove that in the mean-field limit the many-body system exhibits the Bose–Einstein condensation on the cubic-quintic NLS ground states. When assuming [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text], with the former convergence being slow enough and “not faster” than the latter, we prove that the ground state of the system is fully condensed on the (unique) solution to the quintic NLS equation. In the latter case, [Formula: see text] fixed, we obtain the convergence of many-body energy for small [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is fixed. Finally, we analyze the behavior of the many-body ground states when the convergence [Formula: see text] is “faster” than the slow enough convergence [Formula: see text].

Central limit theorem for Bose gases interacting through singular potentials

Simone Rademacher

Abstract We consider a system ofNbosons in the limit $$N \rightarrow \infty $$ N→∞ , interacting through singular potentials. For initial data exhibiting Bose–Einstein condensation, the many-body time evolution is well approximated through a quadratic fluctuation dynamics around a cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation of the condensate wave function. We show that these fluctuations satisfy a (multi-variate) central limit theorem.

Expansion dynamics of a two-component quasi-one-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate: Phase diagram, self-similar solutions, and dispersive shock waves

Sergey K. Ivanov, A. M. Kamchatnov

We investigate the expansion dynamics of a Bose–Einstein condensate that consists of two components and is initially confined in a quasi-one-dimensional trap. We classify the possible initial states of the two-component condensate by taking into account the nonuniformity of the distributions of its components and construct the corresponding phase diagram in the plane of nonlinear interaction constants. The differential equations that describe the condensate evolution are derived by assuming that the condensate density and velocity depend on the spatial coordinate quadratically and linearly, respectively, which reproduces the initial equilibrium distribution of the condensate in the trap in the Thomas–Fermi approximation. We have obtained self-similar solutions of these differential equations for several important special cases and write out asymptotic formulas describing the condensate motion on long time scales, when the condensate density becomes so low that the interaction between atoms may be neglected. The problem on the dynamics of immiscible components with the formation of dispersive shock waves is considered. We compare the numerical solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii equations with their approximate analytical solutions and numerically study the situations where the analytical method being used admits no exact solutions.

Analytical investigation of focusing Bose-Einstein condensates

R. Richberg, A. Martin

The focusing of a propagating untrapped Bose-Einstein condensate is studied theoretically. We use a scaling solution method comprising a time-dependent scaling function to analytically examine the dynamics of a falling Bose-Einstein condensate in different regimes of propagation including the expansion and compression zones. Our model is based on the Gross--Pitaevskii equation which involves the interparticle interactions between atoms and, consequently, their influence on the focused structures. We investigate the focused profile characteristic factors such as the resolution and peak density for various cases of the focusing optical potential parameters as well as the factors associated with the moving cloud. Our results are compared with numerical solutions of the Gross--Pitaevskii equation.
