Reentrant behavior of breathing mode in one-dimensional Bose gas

Abstract

We calculate the breathing mode frequency $\omega$ in a one-dimensional Bose gas confined to a harmonic trap of frequency $\omega_z$. We predict a smooth crossover from Thomas-Fermi Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) regime ($\omega = \sqrt{3} \omega_z$) to Gaussian BEC regime ($\omega = 2 \omega_z$) using Hartree approximation and sum rules approach, adopted to small system sizes. Local density approximation (LDA) correctly captures the crossover from Tonks-Girardeau ($\omega = 2 \omega_z$) to Thomas-Fermi BEC ($\omega = \sqrt{3} \omega_z$) regimes. Predictions from local density and Hartree approximations can be continuously matched for $N>25$ particles, providing a complete zero-temperature description for large number of particles and resulting in a non-monotonic reentrant behavior of the breathing frequency. For smaller number of particles (ranging from $N=2$ to $N=25$) we perform extensive diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. This permits us to obtain a complete picture, applicable to arbitrary number of particles and any repulsive interaction strength. We provide perturbative analysis for both weak and strong coupling regimes. We revisit Innsbruck group experiment [Science 325, 1224 (2009)], analyzing the measurements done in Thomas-Fermi - Gaussian BEC crossover, and demonstrate that the breathing frequency follows a reentrant behavior as a function of the interaction strength in full agreement with our theory.

A study of breathing oscillations of a one-dimensional trapped interacting Bose gas is presented. Oscillations are initiated by an instantaneous change of the trapping frequency. In the thesis a 1D quantum Bose gas in a parabolic trap at zero temperature is considered, and it is explained, analytically and numerically, how the oscillation frequency depends on the number of particles, their repulsive interaction, and the trap parameters. We have focused on the many-body spectral description, using the sum rules approximation. The oscillation frequency is identified as the energy difference between the ground state and a particular excited state. The existence of three regimes is demonstrated, namely the Tonks regime, the Thomas-Fermi regime and the Gaussian regime. The transition from the Tonks to the Thomas-Fermi regime is described in the terms of the local density approximation (LDA). For the description of the transition from the Thomas-Fermi to the Gaussian regime the Hartree approximation is used. In both cases the parameters where the transitions happen are found. The extensive diffusion Monte Carlo simulations for a gas containing up to N = 25 particles is performed. As the number of particles increases, predictions from the simulations converge to the ones from the Hartree and LDA in the corresponding regimes. This makes the results for the breathing mode frequency applicable for arbitrary values of the particle number and interaction. The analysis is completed with the finite N perturbative results in the limiting cases. The theory predicts the reentrant behavior of the breathing mode frequency when moving from the Tonks to the Gaussian regime and fully explains the recent experiment of the Innsbruck group.

Collective excitations of trapped one-dimensional dipolar quantum gases

We calculate the excitation modes of a one-dimensional (1D) dipolar quantum gas confined in a harmonic trap with frequency ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$ and predict how the frequency of the breathing $n=2$ mode characterizes the interaction strength evolving from the Tonks-Girardeau value ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{2}=2{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$ to the quasi-ordered, superstrongly interacting value ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{2}=\sqrt{5}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$. Our predictions are obtained within a hydrodynamic Luttinger-liquid theory after applying the local density approximation to the equation of state for the homogeneous dipolar gas, which are in turn determined from reptation quantum Monte Carlo simulations. They are shown to be in quite accurate agreement with the results of a sum-rule approach. These effects can be observed in current experiments, revealing the Luttinger-liquid nature of 1D dipolar Bose gases.

Collective modes of a harmonically trapped one-dimensional Bose gas: The effects of finite particle number and nonzero temperature

Xiao-Long Chen, Yun Li, Hui Hu

Following the idea of the density-functional approach, we develop a generalized Bogoliubov theory of an interacting Bose gas confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap by using a local chemical potential, calculated with the Lieb-Liniger exact solution, as the exchange energy. At zero temperature, we use the theory to describe collective modes of a finite-particle system in all interaction regimes from the ideal gas limit to the mean-field Thomas-Fermi regime and to the strongly interacting Tonks-Girardeau regime. At finite temperature, we investigate the temperature dependence of collective modes in the weak-coupling regime by means of a Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with Popov approximation. By emphasizing the effects of finite particle number and nonzero temperature on collective-mode frequencies, we compare our results with a recent experimental measurement [E. Haller et al., Science 325, 1224 (2009)] and some previous theoretical predictions. We show that the experimental data are still not fully explained within current theoretical framework.

Reentrant behavior of the breathing-mode-oscillation frequency in a one-dimensional Bose gas

Andrii Gudyma, G. E. Astrakharchik, Mikhail B. Zvonarev

Exciting temporal oscillations of the density distribution is a high-precision method for probing ultracold trapped atomic gases. Interaction effects in their many-body dynamics are particularly puzzling and counter-intuitive in one spatial dimension (1D) due to enhanced quantum correlations. We consider 1D quantum Bose gas in a parabolic trap at zero temperature and explain, analytically and numerically, how oscillation frequency depends on the number of particles, their repulsion, and the trap strength. We identify the frequency with the energy difference between the ground state and a particular excited state. This way we avoided resolving the dynamical evolution of the system, simplifying the problem immensely. We find an excellent quantitative agreement of our results with the data from the Innsbruck experiment [Science 325, 1224 (2009)].

Breathing mode of quantum droplets in dipolar quantum gases: A sum-rule analysis

Xinran Zhang, Junli Liu, Huiyun Xiao +2 more

We theoretically investigate the ground-state properties and breathing-mode collective excitations of three-dimensional dipolar Bose gases in anisotropic harmonic traps incorporating quantum fluctuations. Combining a Gaussian variational ansatz with a non-perturbative sum-rule analysis, we derive explicit analytical expressions for both axial and radial breathing-mode frequencies, which are validated by numerical solutions of the time-dependent extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our theoretical predictions show excellent agreement with existing experimental data for $^{166}$Er and $^{162}$Dy gases. By constructing comprehensive phase diagrams across the parameter space of the $s$-wave scattering length, atom number, and trap aspect ratio, we reveal both discontinuous first-order phase transitions and smooth crossovers between the dilute Bose-Einstein condensate and dense quantum droplet phases. We confirm that the enhanced incompressibility induced by quantum fluctuations significantly elevates the breathing-mode frequencies in the droplet phase compared to conventional weakly interacting Bose gases. Furthermore, the system undergoes a phase transition and a crossover over the scattering length under the quasi-two-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional confinements, characterized by discontinuous jumps and continuous crossovers in peak density and atomic cloud sizes, respectively. Our work offers a rigorous and highly accurate framework to characterize collective excitations in dipolar quantum gases, providing quantitative insights for forthcoming ultracold atom experiments in lanthanide atoms and polar molecules.

Breathing-mode frequency of a strongly interacting Fermi gas across the two- to three-dimensional crossover

Umberto Toniolo, Brendan C. Mulkerin, Xia-Ji Liu +1 more

We address the interplay between dimension and quantum anomaly on the breathing mode frequency of a strongly interacting Fermi gas harmonically trapped at zero temperature. Using a beyond-mean-field Gaussian pair fluctuation theory, we employ periodic boundary conditions to simulate the dimensionality of the system and impose a local-density approximation, with two different schemes, to model different trapping potentials in the tightly confined axial direction. By using a sum-rule approach, we compute the breathing mode frequency associated with a small variation of the trapping frequency along the weakly confined transverse direction and describe its behavior as a function of the dimensionality, from two to three dimensions, and of the interaction strength. We compare our predictions with previous calculations on the two-dimensional breathing mode anomaly and discuss their possible observation in ultracold Fermi gases of $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ and $^{40}\mathrm{K}$ atoms.

We calculate the breathing mode frequency ω\omegaω in a one-dimensional Bose gas confined to a harmonic trap of frequency ωz\omega_zωz​. We predict a smooth crossover from Thomas-Fermi Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) regime (ω=3ωz\omega = \sqrt{3} \omega_zω=3​ωz​) to Gaussian BEC regime (ω=2ωz\omega = 2 \omega_zω=2ωz​) using Hartree approximation and sum rules approach, adopted to small system sizes. Local density approximation (LDA) correctly captures the crossover from Tonks-Girardeau (ω=2ωz\omega = 2 \omega_zω=2ωz​) to Thomas-Fermi BEC (ω=3ωz\omega = \sqrt{3} \omega_zω=3​ωz​) regimes.
