Ground State of a Bose-Einstein Condensate under Axially Symmetric Magnetic Trap

Abstract

The ground state properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive or attractive inter-atomic interaction confined in axially symmetric magnetic trap are studied through the variational approach. It is shown that, if the trap has a high asymmetry and thus the equi-potential surface of the trap is of “cigar” or “pancake” shape, the properties of the condensate are drastically changed from the case of isotropic (spherically symmetric) trap.

Dipolar condensates confined in a toroidal trap: Ground state and vortices

Marta Abad, M. Guilleumas, R. Mayol +2 more

We study a Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$ atoms confined in a toroidal trap with a variable strength of $s$-wave contact interactions. We analyze the effects of the anisotropic nature of the dipolar interaction by considering the magnetization axis to be perpendicular to the trap symmetry axis. In the absence of a central repulsive barrier, when the trap is purely harmonic, the effect of reducing the scattering length is a tuning of the geometry of the system from a pancake-shaped condensate when it is large to a cigar-shaped condensate for small scattering lengths. For a condensate in a toroidal trap, the interaction in combination with the central repulsive Gaussian barrier produces an azimuthal dependence of the particle density for a fixed radial distance. We find that along the magnetization direction the density decreases as the scattering length is reduced but presents two symmetric density peaks in the perpendicular axis. For even lower values of the scattering length we observe that the system undergoes a dipolar-induced symmetry breaking phenomenon. The whole density becomes concentrated in one of the peaks, resembling an origin-displaced cigar-shaped condensate. In this context we also analyze stationary vortex states and their associated velocity fields, finding that these also show a strong azimuthal dependence for small scattering lengths. The expectation value of the angular momentum along the $z$ direction provides a qualitative measure of the difference between the velocity in the different density peaks.

Effect of three-body interaction in strongly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in isotropic and highly anisotropic magnetic trap

Shri Prakash Tewari, Poonam Silotia, Aditya Saxena +1 more

Ground state properties of Bose-Einstein condensate of 20000 23 Na atoms confined in isotropic and highly anisotropic magnetic traps in the presence of three-body interaction, in addition to the two-body and hard-core interactions, have been theoretically studied by solving modified highly non-linear Gross-Pitaevskii-Ginzburg (GPG) equation. There is increasingly significant change in the chemical potential, total and differential energies per particle as the aspect ratio. λ, is increased from 0.1 to 1.0, with respect to the corresponding values when only two-body and hard-core interactions are considered. The condensate order parameter changes drastically and becomes quasi 1-dimensional, as λ is varied from 1 to 0.1.

Ground State Properties of a Toroidally Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate

Takeya Tsurumi, Miki Wadati

Ground state properties of a toroidally trapped Bose-Einstein condensate are investigated analytically. Through the variational approach, effects of the geometrical curvature and the inter-atomic interaction are taken into consideration. It is shown that the curvature lowers the ground state energy, and that the condensate is attracted towards the axis of symmetry of the torus.

Coupled spin-vortex pair in dipolar spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Tiantian Li, Su Yi, Yunbo Zhang

We investigate the ground-state and magnetic properties of a dipolar spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a symmetric double-well potential. In particular, we focus on the spin-vortex states by assuming that each potential well is highly pancake shaped. We show that the presence of the double-well potential gives rise to two different spin configurations for the spin-vortex pair states. We also study the response of the coupled spin-vortex pair to static transverse magnetic fields.

Instability of the Bose-Einstein Condensate under Magnetic Trap

Takeya Tsurumi, Miki Wadati

We consider the Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive interparticle interactions (more precisely, negative s-wave scattering lengths) under a magnetic trap. By using a model equation, axially symmetric nonlinear Schrodinger equation with harmonic potential terms, we investigate the time-evolution of the wavefunction. We predict that the collapse of the condensate takes place when the number of atoms exceeds the critical value.

Ground state and collective excitations of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in a bubble trap

Pedro C. Diniz, Eduardo A. B. Oliveira, Aristeu R. P. Lima +1 more

We consider the ground state and the collective excitations of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in a bubble trap, i.e., a shell-shaped spherically symmetric confining potential. By means of an appropriate Gaussian ansatz, we determine the ground-state properties in the case where the particles interact by means of both the isotropic and short-range contact and the anisotropic and long-range dipole-dipole potential in the thin-shell limit. Moreover, with the ground state at hand, we employ the sum-rule approach to study the monopole, the two-, the three-dimensional quadrupole as well as the dipole modes. We find situations in which neither the virial nor Kohn's theorem can be applied. On top of that, we demonstrate the existence of anisotropic particle density profiles, which are absent in the case with repulsive contact interaction only. These significant deviations from what one would typically expect are then traced back to both the anisotropic nature of the dipolar interaction and the novel topology introduced by the bubble trap.
