Abstract

We study the formation and dynamics of vortices in quasi two-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We solve the time dependent two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation by using a combined split-step Crank-Nicolson (SSCN) and Fast Fourier-Transform (FFT) based numerical scheme and investigate the vortex dynamics in dipolar BECs trapped with harmonic and optical lattice potentials. The consequence of dipole-dipole interaction on vortex nucleation and number of vortices has been analysed. We observe that the breaking of symmetry due to anisotropic dipolar interaction enormously increase the speed of creation of vortices.

Vortex dynamics of rotating dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates

R. Kishor Kumar, Paulsamy Muruganandam

We study the influence of dipole–dipole interaction on the formation of vortices in a rotating dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of 52 Cr and 164 Dy atoms in quasi two-dimensional geometry. By numerically solving the corresponding time-dependent mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equation, we show that the dipolar interaction enhances the number of vortices, while a repulsive contact interaction increases the stability of the vortices. Furthermore, an ordered vortex lattice of a relatively large number of vortices is found in a strongly dipolar BEC.

Vortices in a rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate with two- and three-body interactions

Subramaniyan Sabari

We examine the vortex formation and vortex lattices in a rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with two- and three-body interactions. For this aim, we numerically solve the quasi two-dimensional, cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii equation with nonlocal dipole-dipole nonlinearity. We find the critical rotation frequency for vortex formation in a pure dipolar BEC and also in a dipolar BEC with presence of both two- and three-body interactions. We also show the vortex lattices in a dipolar BEC with two- and three-body interactions for large rotation frequencies.

Vortices in dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates in synthetic magnetic field

Qiang Zhao, Qiang Gu

We study the formation of vortices in a dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate in a synthetic magnetic field by numerically solving the Gross–Pitaevskii equation. The formation process depends on the dipole strength, the rotating frequency, the potential geometry, and the orientation of the dipoles. We make an extensive comparison with vortices created by a rotating trap, especially focusing on the issues of the critical rotating frequency and the vortex number as a function of the rotating frequency. We observe that a higher rotating frequency is needed to generate a large number of vortices and the anisotropic interaction manifests itself as a perceptible difference in the vortex formation. Furthermore, a large dipole strength or aspect ratio also can increase the number of vortices effectively. In particular, we discuss the validity of the Feynman rule.

Three-dimensional vortex structures in a rotating dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate

Ramavarmaraja Kishor Kumar, Thangarasu Sriraman, Henrique Fabrelli +2 more

Abstract We study three-dimensional vortex lattice structures in purely dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC). By using the mean-field approximation, we obtain a stability diagram for the vortex states in purely dipolar BECs as a function of harmonic trap aspect ratio ( λ ) and dipole–dipole interaction strength ( D ) under rotation. Rotating the condensate within the unstable region leads to collapse while in the stable region furnishes stable vortex lattices of dipolar BECs. We analyse stable vortex lattice structures by solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation in imaginary time. Further, the stability of vortex states is examined by evolution in real-time. We also investigate the distribution of vortices in a fully anisotropic trap by increasing eccentricity of the external trapping potential. We observe the breaking up of the condensate in two parts with an equal number of vortices on each when the trap is sufficiently weak, and the rotation frequency is high.

Formation of vortices in a three-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

Yuan Sheng Wang, Shen Tong Ji, Yue E. Luo +1 more

We investigate the vortex formation properties of a three-dimensional (3D) dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 52 Cr atoms in an optical lattice potential through numerical simulations of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a dissipation term. The mechanisms that influence the dipole-dipole interaction and the repulsive contact interaction between atoms during vortex formation are analyzed. We find that the stability of the vortices weakens with increasing attractive dipolar strength and that the repulsive contact interaction between atoms can increase the number of vortices.

Hydrodynamics of vortices and solitons in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

Subramaniyan Sabari, Bishwajyoti Dey

By solving the two-dimensional, nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically, we study the hydrodynamics of quantized vortices in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate excited by an oscillating potential. We calculate the critical velocity for the vortex nucleation in the presence and absence of dipole-dipole interaction. Above a critical velocity, the oscillating potential nucleates the vortex pairs, whose impulses alternatively change their direction synchronously with the oscillation of the Gaussian potential. We study the dynamics of the vortices and also the formation of the dark solitons which have not been previously reported in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate.
