Vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a multiply connected Laguerre-Gaussian optical trap

Jacques Tempere, J. T. Devreese, E. R. I. Abraham

The quantized vortex state is investigated in a Bose-Einstein condensate, confined in a multiply connected geometry formed by a Laguerre-Gaussian optical trap. Solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation variationally, we show that the criterion for vortex stability is that the interatomic interaction strength must exceed a critical interaction strength. The time evolution of a freely expanding Laguerre-Gaussian condensate with a vortex is calculated and used to derive the interference pattern of such a condensate overlapping with a parabolically trapped condensate.

Vector azimuthons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Volodymyr M. Lashkin, Elena A. Ostrovskaya, Anton S. Desyatnikov +1 more

We introduce matter-wave vector azimuthons, i.e., spatially localized vortex states with azimuthal modulations of density, in multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensates. These localized states generalize spatially modulated vortex solitons introduced earlier in nonlinear optics [A. S. Desyatnikov, A. A. Sukhorukov, and Yu. S. Kivshar, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 203904 (2005)] and Bose-Einstein condensates [V. M. Lashkin, Phys. Rev. A 77, 025602 (2008)]. We find, numerically, nonrotating and rotating two-component azimuthons in a Bose-Einstein condensate with a negative scattering length confined by a quasi-two-dimensional parabolic trap.

Stability of quantized vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an optical lattice

Kody J. H. Law, L. Qiao, P. G. Kevrekidis +1 more

We investigate the existence and especially the linear stability of single- and multiple-charge quantized vortex states of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in the presence of a periodic and a parabolic potential in two spatial dimensions. The study is motivated by an examination of pancake-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of magnetic and optical confinement. A two-parameter space of the condensate's chemical potential versus the periodic potential's strength is scanned for both single- and double-quantized vortex states located at a local minimum or a local maximum of the lattice. Triple-charged vortices are also briefly discussed. Single-charged vortices are found to be stable for cosinusoidal potentials and unstable for sinusoidal ones above a critical strength. Higher-charge vortices are more unstable for both types of potentials, and their dynamical evolution leads to a breakup into single-charged vortices.
