Quantum turbulence generated by oscillating structures

Published Mar 24, 2014• 29 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The paper summarizes important aspects of quantum turbulence that have been studied successfully with oscillating structures. It describes why some aspects are proving hard to interpret, and it outlines the need for new types of experiment and new developments in theoretical and computational work.

Vortices and turbulence in trapped atomic condensates

Angela White, Brian P. Anderson, Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato

After more than a decade of experiments generating and studying the physics of quantized vortices in atomic gas Bose-Einstein condensates, research is beginning to focus on the roles of vortices in quantum turbulence, as well as other measures of quantum turbulence in atomic condensates. Such research directions have the potential to uncover new insights into quantum turbulence, vortices, and superfluidity and also explore the similarities and differences between quantum and classical turbulence in entirely new settings. Here we present a critical assessment of theoretical and experimental studies in this emerging field of quantum turbulence in atomic condensates.

Probing the Structure of Quantum Mechanics Nonlinearity, Nonlocality, Computation and Axiomatics

Diederik Aerts, Sven Aerts, Marek Czachor +4 more

During the last decade, scientists working in quantum theory have been engaging in promising new fields such as quantum computation and quantum information processing, and have also been reflecting on the possibilities of nonlinear behavior on the quantum level. These are challenging undertakings because (1) they will result in new solutions to important technical and practical problems that were unsolvable by the classical approaches (for example, quantum computers can calculate problems that are intractable if one uses classical computers); and (2) they open up new 'hard' problems of a fundamental nature that touch the foundation of quantum theory itself (for example, the contradiction between locality and nonlinearity and the interpretation of quantum computing as a universal process). In this book, one can distinguish two main streams of research to approach the just-mentioned problem field: (1) a theoretical structural part, which concentrates on the elaboration of a nonlinear quantum mechanics and the fundamentals of quantum computation; and (2) a theoretical experimental part, which focuses on the theoretical aspects of applications that arise from new technology and novel research perspectives such as quantum optics and quantum cryptography. Particular attention is also paid to the measurement problem, the classical limit and alternative interpretations (such as the hidden measurement approach).

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS FOR GENERATING TWO-DIMENSIONAL QUANTUM TURBULENCE IN BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

K. E. Wilson, E. Carlo Samson, Z. L. Newman +2 more

Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute gases are well-suited for investigations of vortex dynamics and turbulence in quantum fluids, yet there has been little experimental research into the approaches that may be most promising for generating states of two-dimensional turbulence in these systems. Here we give an overview of techniques for generating the large and disordered vortex distributions associated with two-dimensional quantum turbulence. We focus on describing methods explored in our Bose-Einstein condensation laboratory, and discuss the suitability of these methods for studying various aspects of two-dimensional quantum turbulence. We also summarize some of the open questions regarding our own understanding of these mechanisms of two-dimensional quantum turbulence generation in condensates. We find that while these disordered distributions of vortices can be generated by a variety of techniques, further investigation is needed to identify methods for obtaining quasi-steady-state quantum turbulence in condensates.
