Abstract

We introduce an analytical theory for mode switching in a microcavity, which shows excellent agreement with experiment and numerics. This switching process is triggered by the intermode kinetics and resembles the physics of Bose condensation.

Pump-Power-Driven Mode Switching in a Microcavity Device and Its Relation to Bose-Einstein Condensation

H. A. M. Leymann, Daniel Vorberg, Thomas Lettau +8 more

Bimodal microlasers have recently gained interest for potential applications in optical memories, tunable switches, and as a platform for studying nonequilibrium phase transitions. A new investigation reveals not only the underlying mechanisms that controls mode switching in these devices but also that this switching corresponds to a transition from lasing to a minimal realization of Bose-Einstein condensation of photons.

Direct and Inverse Cascades in Turbulent Bose-Einstein Condensates

Ying Zhu, Б. В. Семисалов, Giorgio Krstulovic +1 more

When a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is driven out of equilibrium, density waves interact nonlinearly and trigger turbulent cascades. In a turbulent BEC, energy is transferred toward small scales by a direct cascade, whereas the number of particles displays an inverse cascade toward large scales. In this work, we study analytically and numerically the direct and inverse cascades in wave-turbulent BECs. We analytically derive the Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectra, including the log correction to the direct cascade scaling and the universal prefactor constants for both cascades. We test and corroborate our predictions using high-resolution numerical simulations of the forced-dissipated Gross-Pitaevskii model in a periodic box and the corresponding wave-kinetic equation. Theoretical predictions and data are in excellent agreement, without adjustable parameters. Moreover, in order to connect with experiments, we test and validate our theoretical predictions using the Gross-Pitaevskii model with a confining cubic trap. Our results explain previous experimental observations and suggest new settings for future studies.

Hydrodynamic flow of expanding Bose-Einstein condensates

Valeriy A. Brazhnyi, A. M. Kamchatnov, V. V. Konotop

We study expansion of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) after switching off the confining harmonic potential. Exact solution of dynamical equations is obtained in the framework of the hydrodynamic approximation and it is compared with the direct numerical simulation of the full problem, showing excellent agreement at realistic values of physical parameters. We analyze the maximum of the current density and estimate the velocity of expansion. The results of the 1D analysis provides also qualitative understanding of some properties of BEC expansion observed in experiments.

A kinetic equation for ultra-low temperature Bose–Einstein condensates

L. E. Reichl, Minh-Binh Tran

Abstract Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) are starting to play a role in quantum information processing, and there is a need to better understand the dynamical processes at play in the condensates. In this paper, we review recent work on a kinetic model for ultra-low temperature dilute Bose–Einstein condensates that gives correct behavior for first and second sound speeds at very low temperature, and gives explicit expressions and values for decay processes. The predictions of the theory are in agreement with experiment. The method explicitly computes the hydrodynamic modes of the condensate using a method that has also been used to describe decay processes in noble gas mixtures, and thereby opens the way for future analysis of decay processes in BEC mixtures.
