Rosen–Zener transition of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

Abstract

Rosen–Zener transitions of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates in a nonlinear two-level system are studied. The intensities of interspecies interactions which can be adjusted by Feshbach resonance can affect the quantum transition dramatically. The percentage of both components also has an important effect on the quantum transition probabilities. It is also found that the quantum transition can be completely blocked by either strong interspecies interactions or large percentage of the component. In the sudden limit, the approximated transition probabilities for each component are obtained analytically. In the adiabatic limit, the equivalent classical Hamiltonian is obtained. The fixed points and the eigenenergy level structures are also obtained. Finally, for some special cases, the period of the rectangular oscillation as a function of the percentage of the number density and the interspecies interaction is obtained analytically. All the analytical results are compared with numerical simulations and good agreement is obtained.

Rosen–Zener Transition in a Nonlinear System for Two-Component Bose–Einstein Condensates in Optical Lattices

Jiang Xin, Mai-mai Lin, Sheng-Chang Li +1 more

We study the Rosen–Zener transition (RZT) in a nonlinear system for two-component Bose–Einstein condensates in optical lattices. It is found that the percentage of the components could affect the quantum transition dramatically. For the component with large percentage it is equivalent that the effect of the nonlinearity is stronger, whereas for the component with small percentage the effect is weaker. We also find that the nonlinearity c 11 can affect the quantum transition dramatically. This is similar to that reported from Ref. [14]. Compared with one-component systems, however, the effect of the nonlinearity is decreased due to the two components of the BECs in optical lattices. Furthermore, the effect of the coupling nonlinearity between two components c 12 is studied. The component with large percentage is more affected by the nonlinearity than that with small-percentage component.

Rosen-Zener transition in a nonlinear two-level system

Difa Ye, Libin Fu, Jie Liu

We study the Rosen-Zener transition (RZT) in a nonlinear two-level system in which the level energies depend on the occupation of the levels, representing a mean-field type of interaction between the particles. We find that the nonlinearity could affect the quantum transition dramatically. At certain nonlinearity the 100% population transfer between two levels is observed and found to be robust over a very wide range of external parameters. On the other hand, the quantum transition could be completely blocked by a strong nonlinearity. In the sudden and adiabatic limits we have derived analytical expressions for the transition probability. Numerical explorations are made for a wide range of parameters of the general case. Possible applications of our theory to Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and solid-state physics are discussed.

Many-body quantum fluctuation effects of Rosen-Zener transition in Bose-Einstein condensates

Jianzhong Wang, Hui Cao, Dou Fu-Quan

We investigate many-body quantum fluctuation effects of Rosen-Zener transition of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a symmetric double-well potential through the relation between the average population imbalance of the final state (APIFS) and scanning period. In the linear case, we deduce the analytical expression of the APIFS which has the same behavior as in the mean-field level. We also employ numerical calculation to demonstrate it. In the nonlinear case, numerical results show that the APIFS in the sudden limit also accords with that in the mean-field level whereas in the adiabatic limit the many-body result is quite different from that of the mean-field case: the behavior of APIFS with respect to scanning period is similar to sinusoidal rather than rectangular oscillation, besides the oscillation period increases with both the total number N and the nonlinear parameter c increasing.

Nonlinear Rosen-Zener transition of Fermi superfluid gases

Hongjuan Meng, Yang Yang, Wen-Yuan Wang +5 more

By considering the contribution of the higher order term representing the lowest approximation of beyond mean field correction and taking Roser-Zener tunneling as the underling process, we study the nonlinear Rosen-Zener transition of Fermi superfluid gas in a two-level system. We find that the nonlinearity can affect the quantun trasition in the fast scan limit and the adiabatic limit. We also derive the analytical expression for the of rectangular oscillation period dependent on nonlinear parameter. This provides a theoretical basis for a deeper understanding of the basis properties of Fermi gases.

Transition dynamics of a bright soliton in a binary Bose–Einstein condensate

Li-Chen Zhao, Guoguo Xin, Zhan-Ying Yang

Transition dynamics have been studied widely in two-mode Bose–Einstein condensate systems with linear coupling effects. Nonlinear interaction between atoms would induce a nonlinear Josephson oscillation, which admits an oscillation form different from the classical Josephson oscillation. Similar extensions for the Rosen–Zener transition and the Landau–Zener transition also suggest that a strong nonlinear strength would induce nonlinear-type transition dynamics, which is in sharp contrast to the linear process. Interestingly, here we show a standard Josephson oscillation that has a constant linear coupling strength, no matter how great the nonlinear interaction strength is. This characteristic is in sharp contrast to the nonlinear Josephson oscillation reported before in nonlinear coupled systems. By manipulating the linear coupling strength with the RF field, we demonstrate that the Rosen–Zener transition particles, with an invariant distribution profile, can be managed well under exponential and periodic forms. The nonlinear interaction strength is found to have no effect on the transition rate between atoms in the two components for the case where the inter- and intra-atomic interaction strengths are equal. Furthermore, we test the robustness of the transition dynamics against parameter deviations and noises in the initial condition. These results are helpful for controllable quantum state preparations.

Controllable quantum phase transition in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates under periodic modulation

G. Chen, J.-Q. Liang, Z.-D. Chen

In this letter we predict a novel second-order quantum phase transition of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates coupled with a periodically driven laser field in the resonant case. It is shown that this quantum phase transition from the normal to the tunneling phases can be controlled by the interspecies nonlinear interaction tuned via the magnetic-field–dependent Feshbach resonance technique. Furthermore, it is also demonstrated that this quantum phase transition can be detected by measuring the ground-state population imbalance between two condensates.
