This paper solves exactly a set of fully quantized coupled equations describing the quantum dynamics of quantum spins mixing in spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensates by deriving the exact explicit analytical expressions for the evolution of creation and annihilation operators.
Spin evolution of a mixture of two species of spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensates (Rb and Na) has been investigated rigorously. The Hamiltonian under the single-mode approximation (which is the only approximation in the present theory) has been solved exactly. Both analytical expressions and numerical results on the populations of spin components are obtained. Interference between the two species is found to depend sensitively on the initial states and the inter-species interaction. A number of phenomena arising from the interference have been predicted. In particular, periodic behaviour and the alternate appearances of a zone of oscillation and a long quiet zone are found.
