Dynamical instability of the dark state in the conversion of Bose—Fermi mixtures into stable molecules

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical instability of the dark state in the conversion of Bose-Fermi mixtures into stable molecules through a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage aided by Feshbach resonance. We analytically obtain the regions where the dynamical instability appears and find that such instability in the Bose-Fermi mixture system is caused not only by bosonic interparticle interactions but also by Pauli blocking terms, which is different from the scenario of a pure bosonic system where instability is induced by nonlinear interparticle collisions. Taking a 40 K- 87 Rb mixture as an example, we give the unstable regions numerically.

Linear instability and adiabaticity of a dark state during conversion of two species of fermionic atoms to stable molecules

In the present paper, we investigate the linear instability and adiabaticity of a dark state during conversion of two species of fermionic atoms to stable molecules through the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage aided by Feshbach resonance. We analytically obtain the regions for the appearance of linear instability. Moreover, taking 40 K and 6 Li atom—molecule conversion systems as examples, we give the unstable regions numerically. We also attempt to obtain the adiabatic criterion for this nonlinear system with classical adiabatic dynamics and study the adibaticity of the dark state with the adiabatic condition.

Dynamical instability and adiabatic evolution of the atom–homonuclear–trimer dark state in a condensate system

Shao-Ying Meng, Wu Wei, Liu Bin +2 more

This paper investigates the dynamical instability and adiabatic evolution of the atom–homonuclear–trimer dark state of a condensate system in a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage aided by Feshbach resonance. It obtains analytically the regions for the appearance of dynamical instability caused by the interparticle interactions. Moreover, the adiabatic property of the dark state is also studied in terms of a newly defined adiabatic fidelity. It shows that the nonlinear collisions have a negative effect on the adiabaticity of the dark state and hence reduce the conversion efficiency.

Dynamical stability of the dark state in an atom-heteronuclear-trimer conversion system

Shao-Ying Meng, Wu Wei, Bin Liu +1 more

We investigate the dynamical stability of a dark state of the atom-heteronuclear-trimer conversion system in a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage process. By casting the quantum Hamiltonian into an effective classical one and analyzing the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian-Jacobi matrix obtained by linearizing the equations of motion around the fixed point corresponding to the dark state, we analytically obtain the condition for the occurrence of the dynamical instability of the atom-trimer dark state. Taking heteronuclear atoms of 87Rb and 41K as an example, we numerically give the unstable region. We find that the dynamical instability is induced by the interparticle interactions. Moreover，the occurrence of the dynamical instability depends on not only the emergence of the real or complex eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian-Jacobi matrix but also the scanning rate of the external fields.

Raman photoassociation of Bose-Fermi mixtures and the subsequent prospects for atom-molecule Cooper pairing

Matt Mackie, Olavi Dannenberg, Jyrki Piilo +2 more

We theoretically investigate Raman photoassociation of a degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture of atoms and the subsequent prospect for anomalous (Cooper) pairing between atoms and molecules. Stable fermionic molecules are created via free-bound-bound stimulated Raman adiabatic passage which, in contrast to purely bosonic systems, can occur in spite of collisions. With the leftover atomic condensate to enhance intrafermion interactions, the superfluid transition to atom-molecule Cooper pairs occurs at a temperature that is roughly an order of magnitude below what is currently feasible.

Instability, adiabaticity, and controlling effects of external fields for the dark state in a homonuclear atom–tetramer conversion system

Shao-Ying Meng, Xihao Chen, Wei Wu +1 more

In the present paper, we investigate the instability, adiabaticity, and controlling effects of external fields for a dark state in a homonuclear atom–tetramer conversion that is implemented by a generalized stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. We analytically obtain the regions for the appearance of dynamical instability and study the adiabatic evolution by a newly defined adiabatic fidelity. Moreover, the effects of the external field parameters and the spontaneous emissions on the conversion efficiency are also investigated.

Fermi-Bose mixture across a Feshbach resonance

Luca Salasnich, Flavio Toigo

We study a dilute mixture of degenerate bosons and fermions across a Feshbach resonance of the Fermi-Fermi scattering length ${a}_{F}$. This scattering length is renormalized by the boson-induced interaction between fermions and its value is crucial to determine the phase diagram of the system. For the mixture in a box and a positive Bose-Fermi scattering length, we show that there are three possibilities: A single uniform mixed phase, a purely fermionic phase coexisting with a mixed phase, and a purely fermionic phase coexisting with a purely bosonic one. As $1∕{a}_{F}$ is increased from a negative value to the Feshbach resonance $(1∕{a}_{F}=0)$, the region of pure separation increases and the other two regions are strongly reduced. Above the Feshbach resonance $(1∕{a}_{F}>0)$, pairs of Fermi atoms become Bose-condensed molecules. We find that these molecules are fully spatially separated from the bosonic atoms when $1∕{a}_{F}$ exceeds a critical value. For a negative Bose-Fermi scattering length we deduce the condition for collapse, which coincides with the onset of dynamical instability of the fully mixed phase. We consider also the mixture in a harmonic trap and determine the conditions for partial demixing, full demixing, and collapse. The experimental implications of our results are investigated by analyzing mixtures of $^{6}\mathrm{Li}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{23}\mathrm{Na}$ and $^{40}\mathrm{K}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms.

We study a dilute mixture of degenerate bosons and fermions across a Feshbach resonance of the Fermi-Fermi scattering length aF{a}_{F}aF​. This scattering length is renormalized by the boson-induced interaction between fermions and its value is crucial to determine the phase diagram of the system. For the mixture in a box and a positive Bose-Fermi scattering length, we show that there are three possibilities: A single uniform mixed phase, a purely fermionic phase coexisting with a mixed phase, and a purely fermionic phase coexisting with a purely bosonic one. As 1∕aF1∕{a}_{F}1∕aF​ is increased from a negative value to the Feshbach resonance (1∕aF=0)(1∕{a}_{F}=0)(1∕aF​=0), the region of pure separation increases and the other two regions are strongly reduced. Above the Feshbach resonance (1∕aF>0)(1∕{a}_{F}>0)(1∕aF​>0), pairs of Fermi atoms become Bose-condensed molecules. We find that these molecules are fully spatially separated from the bosonic atoms when 1∕aF1∕{a}_{F}1∕aF​ exceeds a critical value.
