Abstract

We study the dynamics of associating a two-component atomic condensate into a condensate of heteronuclear molecules. We compare the mean-field results with a full quantum mechanical treatment, emphasizing the effects of atomic population imbalance.

Properties of a coupled two-species atom–heteronuclear-molecule condensate

Lu Zhou, Weiping Zhang, Hong Yuan Ling +2 more

We study the coherent association of a two-species atomic condensate into a condensate of heteronuclear diatomic molecules, using both a semiclassical treatment and a quantum mechanical approach. The differences and connections between the two approaches are examined. We show that, in this coupled nonlinear atom-molecule system, the population difference between the two atomic species plays a significant role in the ground-state stability properties as well as in coherent population oscillation dynamics.

Features of stimulated atomic-molecular conversion with the formation of heteronuclear molecules in Bose-Einstein condensates

P. I. Khadzhi, Зинган Анна Петровна

The dynamics of optically stimulated atomic-molecular conversion in a Bose-Einstein condensate has been investigated, i.e., the periodic association of two unlike Bose atoms into a heteronuclear molecule followed by dissociation of the molecule into two atoms. It has been shown that the period and amplitude of the molecular density oscillations depend substantially on the initial particle densities and phase difference.

Quantum atom-heteronuclear molecule dark state: Role of population imbalance

Hui Jing, Shuai Cui

Recently, the finite-number effect of initial atoms in coherent atom-molecule conversion was investigated by Zhao et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 010401 (2008)]. Here, by extending to the atom-heteronuclear molecule dark state, we find that the initial populations imbalance of the atoms plays a significant role in quantum conversion rate and adiabatic fidelity. In particular, even for the finite total number of imbalanced two-species atoms, the mean-field conversion rate, contrary to the general belief, still can be remarkably close to the exact quantum results.

Summary form only given. We analyse the dynamics of the parametrically coupled atomic and molecular condensates, in the framework of a two-component mean-field model that takes into account all types of the mean-field atomic and molecular interactions, as well as losses of atoms and molecules from the corresponding fractions of the hybrid BEC.

Dynamics of a two-component atomic Bose Einstein condensate

Ping Zhang, C K Chan, Xiang‐Gui Li +1 more

The dynamical population oscillations between two internal states of a Bose–Einstein condensate are investigated within the rotating wave approximation. Analytical expressions for the population imbalance in the number states and coherent states have been derived, which predict different revival periods. Thus the true quantum state of the condensates may be unambiguously determined by detecting the atom intensity evolution for one internal state.
