Abstract

This paper presents a funnel external potential model to investigate dynamic properties of ultracold Bose gas. By using variational method, we obtain the ground-state energy and density properties of ultracold Bose atoms. The results show that the ultracold Bose gas confined in a funnel potential experiences the transition from three-dimensional regime to quasi-one-dimensional regime in a small aspect ratio, and undergoes fermionization process as the aspect ratio increases.

Dynamics of an Ultracold Bose Gas in Funnel-Shaped Potential

Yan Li, Xu Guang-Yuan, Wang Yong-Jun +2 more

In this paper we develop a variational theory to study the dynamic properties of ultracold Bose gas in a funnel external potential. We obtain one-dimensional nonlinear equation which describes the dynamics of transverse tight confined bosonic gas from three-dimension to one-dimension, and find one-dimensional s-wave scattering length which depends on the shape of transverse confining potential. If the funnel trapping potential is strong enough at zero temperature, all transverse excitations are frozen. We find the dynamic equation which describes the Tonks–Girardeau gas and present a qualitative analysis of the experimental accessibility of the Tonks–Girardeau gas with funnel-trapped alkalic atoms.

Fermionization of a bosonic gas under highly elongated confinement: A diffusion quantum Monte Carlo study

D. Blume

The diffusion quantum Monte Carlo technique is used to solve the many-body Schr\"odinger equation fully quantum mechanically and nonperturbatively for bosonic atomic gases in cigar-shaped confining potentials. By varying the aspect ratio of the confining potential from 1 (spherical trap) to 10 000 (highly elongated trap), we characterize the transition from the three-dimensional regime to the (quasi-)one-dimensional regime. Our results confirm that the bosonic gas undergoes ``fermionization'' for large aspect ratios. Importantly, many-body correlations are included explicitly in our approach.

Crossover from One to Three Dimensions for a Gas of Hard-Core Bosons

Kunal K. Das, Marvin D. Girardeau, Ewan M. Wright

We develop a variational theory of the crossover from the one-dimensional (1D) regime to the 3D regime for ultracold Bose gases in thin waveguides. Within the 1D regime we map out the parameter space for fermionization, which may span the full 1D regime for suitable transverse confinement.

Dynamical behavior of ultracold atomic gases

P. Pedri

The experimental achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in 1995 has aroused a large interest among the community of the physics of ultracold atomic gases.Recently new topics have attracted the attention of this very active field of research , in particular we could mention low dimensional systems, atoms in lattices, and classical and Fermi gases.As for the case of BEC, the study of the dynamical aspects of these systems provides a very valuable information.In particular time-of-flight experiments and measurements of collective excitations have been successfully realized providing a clear signature of the BEC and the regime of interaction.Following this line, in this thesis, we want to study some dynamical aspects of these new systems nowadays avaliable due to the remarkable development of the experimental techniques.In the first chapter we present the state of the art of the field, providing the historical path and the motivation for the work developed in the next chapters.In the second chapter, we discuss some general concepts in order to introduce the formalism and notation employed throughout the thesis, as well as those topics analyzed in more detail in the further chapters.In chapter three, we explain some general techniques which are useful to deal with one dimensional systems, and analyze in detail the expansion of a one dimensional Bose gas in a guide, which differs significantly from the expansion of a BEC.In particular we are able to predict the range of parameters for which the self-similarity of the expansion is violated.Chapter four is devoted to the physics of atoms in a periodic potential.We start, as in the previous chapter, introducing some general concepts and techniques employed further.First we discuss the physics of the superfluid case in a trap, showing that under certain conditions a three dimensional gas exhibits one dimensional properties.viii In particular, static properties and the lowest collective excitations differ significantly from those of a BEC.We extend the analysis to the insulating phase showing that correlation properties depend on the on-site one-dimensional regime.These correlations can be measured in current time of flight experiments.In the fifth chapter we analyze the dynamics of classical and Fermi gases.We show in detail how expansion and collective excitations depend on the interaction regime and the trap anisotropy.In particular, the expansion can be used to distinguish between a normal Fermi gas and a superfluid one.We summarize in the last chapter the new results presented in this thesis.

Ultracold two-dimensional trapped bose gases

Hutchinson, DAW, Christopher Gies, S. A. Morgan +2 more

We present an overview of our recent work describing the treatment of ultracold atomic Bose gases confined to two dimensions in a harmonic trap. We show how the gas goes through a number of regimes as the axially confining potential is increased and discuss the scattering properties of the gas in each of these regimes. We then use the formalism developed to investigate the phase-coherent Bose-Einstein condensate that is present in the trapped two-dimensional gas at temperatures that are low compared to the ideal gas critical temperature and to analyze the first-order coherence as a function of temperature. We identify the regime in which the gas loses its global phase coherence, although a macroscopic occupation of the ground state persists at a temperature well below the ideal gas critical temperature. We comment on the possible connection between this fluctuating regime and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase.

Collisional aspects of bosonic and fermionic dipoles in quasi-two-dimensional confining geometries

José Paulo D'Incao, Chris H. Greene

Fundamental aspects of ultracold collisions between identical bosonic or fermionic dipoles are studied under quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) confinement. In the strongly dipolar regime, bosonic and fermion species are found to share important collisional properties as a result of the confining geometry, which suppresses the inelastic rates irrespective of the quantum statistics obeyed. A potential negative is that the confinement causes dipole-dipole resonances to be extremely narrow, which could make it difficult to explore Q2D dipolar gases with tunable interactions. Such properties are shown to be universal, and a simple WKB model reproduces most of our numerical results. In order to shed light on the many-body behavior of dipolar gases in Q2D we have analyzed the scattering amplitude and developed an energy-analytic form of the pseudopotentials for dipoles.
