STABILITY OF BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES IN A LORENTZ VIOLATING SCENARIO

Abstract

We analyze the stability of a Bose–Einstein condensate in a Lorentz violating scenario, which is characterized by a deformation in the dispersion relation. The incorporation of a Lorentz violation within the bosonic statistics has, as a consequence, the emergence of a pseudo-interaction, the one can be associated to a characteristic scattering length. In addition, we calculate the relevant parameters associated to the stability of such condensate incorporating this pseudo-interaction in the nonlinear term of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation. We show that these parameters must be corrected, as a consequence of the quantum structure of spacetime.

STABILITY OF BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES CONFINED IN TRAPS

Takeya Tsurumi, Hirofumi Morise, Miki Wadati

Bose–Einstein condensation has been realized as dilute atomic vapors. This achievement has generated immense interest in this field. This article review of recent theoretical research into the properties of trapped dilute-gas Bose–Einstein condensates. Among these properties, stability of Bose–Einstein condensates confined in traps is mainly discussed. Static properties of the ground state are investigated by using the variational method. The analysis is extended to the stability of two-component condensates. Time-development of the condensate is well-described by the Gross–Pitaevskii equation which is known in nonlinear physics as the no nlinear Schrödinger equation. For the case that the inter-atomic potential is effectively attractive, a singularity of the solution emerges in a finite time. This phenomenon which we call collapse explains the upper bound for the number of atoms in such condensates under traps.

Coupled Bose-Einstein condensate: Collapse for attractive interaction

Sadhan K. Adhikari

We study the collapse in a coupled Bose-Einstein condensate of two types of bosons 1 and 2 under the action of a trap using the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The system may undergo collapse when one, two, or three of the scattering lengths ${a}_{\mathrm{ij}}$ for scattering of boson i with j, $i,j=1,2,$ are negative representing an attractive interaction. Depending on the parameters of the problem a single or both components of the condensate may experience collapse.

Planck scale physics and Bogoliubov spaces in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Elías Castellanos

We analyze the consequences caused by a deformed dispersion relation, suggested in several quantum gravity models, upon a bosonic gas. Concerning the ground state of the Bogoliubov space of this system, we deduce the corrections in the pressure, the speed of sound, and the corresponding healing length. Indeed, we prove that the corrections in the relevant thermodynamic properties associated with the ground state, defines a non trivial function of the density of particles and the deformation parameters, allowing us to constrain, in principle, the form of the modified energy-momentum dispersion relation.

BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION OF ATOMS WITH ATTRACTIVE INTERACTION

Nail Akhmediev, Mrinmay Das, Alexei Vagov

We suggest that crucial effect on Bose-Einstein condensation in systems with attractive potential is three-body interaction. We investigate stationary solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with negative scattering length and a higher-order stabilising term in presence of an external parabolic potential. Stability properties of the condensate are similar to those for thermodynamic systems in statistical physics which have first order phase transitions. We have shown that there are three possible type of stationary solutions corresponding to stable, metastable and unstable phases. Results are discussed in relation to recently observed 7 Li condensate.

STABILITY AND DYNAMICS OF QUANTIZED VORTICES IN GASEOUS BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

Jukka Huhtamäki

Bose-Einstein condensation is a quantum statistical phase transition which was theoretically predicted almost a hundred years ago. After years of seminal research, physicists realized the first almost ideal Bose-Einstein condensates in ultracold dilute atomic gases in 1995. Since then, the theoretical and experimental methods concerning such systems have been developing rapidly, and many fascinating phenomena have been found in these novel quantum systems.\n\nBose-Einstein condensation occurs in a system consisting of massive bosons when a single quantum state becomes macroscopically occupied as the temperature is lowered below the transition temperature. In general, condensates consisting of repulsively interacting bosons exhibit superfluidity: Particle currents can flow in the system without dissipation and viscosity. Moreover, the velocity fields of condensates have to be irrotational, which severely restricts the rotational characteristics of these systems. Apart from the center of mass motion, the system may carry angular momentum in the form of elementary excitations or so-called quantized vortices.\n\nThis Thesis is a theoretical study of subjects related to stability and dynamics of quantized vortices in dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The precession and instability of off-centered vortices in trapped condensates is investigated both in the zero-temperature limit and at finite temperatures. Dynamical stability of multiply quantized vortices and vortex clusters is studied in axisymmetric trap geometries. Splitting of energetically and dynamically unstable multiply quantized vortices into singly quantized vortices is also studied. Finally, as a separate subject, tunneling of a condensate through a potential barrier is investigated. Majority of this work relies on numerical methods for solving the Gross-Pitaevskii and Bogoliubov equations, which are of central importance in the study of dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.

Impact of Three-Body Interactions and Nonlinear Dispersion on the Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Scattering Length in a Harmonic Potential

Emmanuel Kengne, Ahmed Lakhssassi

A one-dimensional (1D) Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation which governs the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with time-dependent scattering length in a harmonic potential is considered. Through a modified phase imprint transformation into the macroscopic order parameter, we suitably generate a derivative cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii (DCQ-GP) equation that describes the dynamics of condensates in the harmonic potential for both twoand three-body interatomic interactions in the presence of nonlinear dispersion. Employing a modified lens-type transformation, we reduce the DCQ-GP equation into a derivative cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau (DCQ-GL) equation that allows us to investigate the modulational instability (MI) of the system and study, through the analytical exact solutions of the considered 1D GP equation, the effects of the three-body interactions and nonlinear dispersion on the dynamics of the BECs. We observe that for BECs with repulsive two-body interatomic interactions, the attractive three-body interactions and the nonlinear dispersion have opposite effects on the condensate: (i) The attractive three-body interactions enhance the instability, while the nonlinear dispersion softens the instability of the system; (ii) the attractive three-body interactions contributes to the ejections of atoms from the condensates while the nonlinear dispersion contributes to the accumulation of atoms in the condensates; (iii) the attractive three-body interactions contributes to the broadening of the matter wave solitons, while the nonlinear dispersion contributes to the compression of the matter wave solitons.
