Detecting phonons and persistent currents in toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates by means of pattern formation

Michele Modugno, C. Tozzo, F. Dalfovo

We theoretically investigate the dynamic properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a toroidal trap. A periodic modulation of the transverse confinement is shown to produce a density pattern due to parametric amplification of phonon pairs. By imaging the density distribution after free expansion one obtains (i) a precise determination of the Bogoliubov spectrum and (ii) a sensitive detection of quantized circulation in the torus. The parametric amplification is also sensitive to thermal and quantum fluctuations.

Generation and decay of persistent current in a toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate

A. I. Yakimenko, S. I. Vilchinskiĭ, Y. M. Bidasyuk +3 more

Persistent current, or "flow without friction", as well as quantum vortices are the hallmarks of superfluidity. Recently a very long-lived persistent flow of atoms has been experimentally observed in Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a ring-shaped potential. This enables fundamental studies of superfluidity and may lead to applications in high-precision metrology and atomtronics. We overview our recent theoretical studies of the generation of the persistent current in a stirred toroidal atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, and discuss our new investigation of the hysteresis in the atomtronic circuit.

Persistent currents in a toroidal trap

Juha Javanainen, Sun Mok Paik, Sung Mi Yoo

Using elementary microscopic methods, we theoretically study persistent flow of an alkali-metal vapor Bose-Einstein condensate around a tight toroidal trap. The angular velocity of a persistent current must be smaller than the angular frequency of the lowest condensate excitation. A supercurrent may be excited by rotating a perturbing potential that is strong enough to cut the toroidal condensate.
