Metastable Bose-Einstein Condensates in a Linear Potential

D. Naik, Mishkatul Bhattacharya, Sérgio Ricardo Muniz +1 more

School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332(Dated: February 2, 2008)We have created a Bose-Einstein condensate whose spin orientation is metastable. Condensateswere transferred into a quadrupole magnetic trap, where Majorana transitions limited the lifetime toa few hundred milliseconds, about 30 times the trapping period. Atoms held in the trap frequentlydisplayed a ring-shaped time-of-ﬂight distribution. We speculate that such a ring could be either aquantized vortex or a feature of the Majorana loss dynamics in the quantum regime.School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332(Dated: February 2, 2008)We have created a Bose-Einstein condensate whose spin orientation is metastable.

A universal molecular description for the spectra of bosons and fermions in the lowest Landau level

Constantine Yannouleas, Uzi Landman

School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0430(Dated: 19 February 2009)Through the introduction of a class of appropriate translationally invariant trial wave functions,we show that the strong correlations in the lowest Landau level (LLL) reﬂect in ﬁnite systems theemergence of intrinsic point-group symmetries associated with rotations and vibrations of moleculesformed through particle localization. This quantal molecular description is universal, being valid forboth bosons and fermions, for both the yrast and excited states of the LLL spectra, and for bothlow and high angular momenta. ”Quantum-ﬂuid” physical pictures associated with Jastrow-typetrial functions are shown to be reducible to the molecular description introduced in this paper.School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0430(Dated: 19 February 2009)Through the introduction of a class of appropriate translationally invariant trial wave functions,we show that the strong correlations in the lowest Landau level (LLL) reﬂect in ﬁnite systems theemergence of intrinsic point-group symmetries associated with rotations and vibrations of moleculesformed through particle localization.
