Coherent Output, Stimulated Quantum Evaporation, and Pair Breaking in a Trapped Atomic Bose Gas

Yonathan Japha, Seok Jin Choi, Keith R. Burnett +1 more

We investigate the spectrum and coherence of an atomic beam slowly coupled out of an atomic trap which contains a partially condensed Bose gas at a finite temperature. The spectrum contains a coherent fraction emerging from the condensate and a thermal fraction emerging from the thermal excitations in the trap. We show the existence of a remarkable process involving the simultaneous creation of an output atom and an elementary excitation (quasiparticle) inside the trap. This process, which can serve as a probe to pair correlations in the condensate, can become dominant for a suitable choice of the coupling parameters.

Collective modes and the broken symmetry of a rotating attractive Bose gas in an anharmonic trap

Anssi Collin

We study the rotational properties of an attractively interacting Bose gas in an anharmonic potential. Low-energy excitations for the two possible rotational ground-state configurations (vortex and the center-of-mass rotating state) are analyzed. The vortex excitation spectrum is all positive for weak couplings, but as the interactions become stronger, the energy of the lowest mode decreases rapidly to a negative value. The broken rotational symmetry involved in the center-of-mass rotating state induces the appearance of an extra zero-energy mode in the Bogoliubov spectrum. The excitations of the center-of-mass rotational state also demonstrate the coupling between the center of mass and relative motions.

Influence of confining anisotropy on the unstable behavior of a Bose gas with attractive interaction

Alvaro S. de Sousa, Albérico B. F. da Silva, Gil C. Marques +1 more

We apply controlled perturbation theory to calculate the spectrum of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a system composed of attractive bosons confined in an anisotropic harmonic trap. The energy spectrum is calculated as a function of the coupling parameters for traps going from cigar to pancake shapes. The critical number of particles that ensures real values for the energy spectrum is obtained as a function of the potential anisotropic parameter, showing strong dependence of the critical number on the anisotropy of the trap. For a number of particles above the critical value the metastability of the system is characterized through the calculation of the condensate lifetime, using the imaginary part of the energy values. The obtained results are relevant for experiments where highly anisotropic traps are considered.
