Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of the system of multiple bright and dark quasisolitons generated in a one-component ultracold Fermi gas via the phase imprinting technique in terms of atomic orbitals approach. In particular, we analyze the collision between two bright quasisolitons and find that quasisolitons are subject to the superposition principle.

Proper phase imprinting method for a dark soliton excitation in a superfluid Fermi mixture

Krzysztof Sacha, Dominique Delande

It is common knowledge that a dark soliton can be excited in an ultra-cold atomic gas by means of the phase imprinting method. We show that, for a superfluid fermionic mixture, the standard phase imprinting procedure applied to both components fails to create a state with symmetry properties identical to those of the dark soliton solution of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. To produce a dark soliton in the BCS regime, a single component of the Fermi mixture should be phase imprinted only.

Optical generation of solitonlike pulses in a single-component gas of neutral fermionic atoms

We analyze the generation of solitonlike solutions in a single-component Fermi gas of neutral atoms at zero and finite temperatures with the phase imprinting method. By using both the numerical and analytical calculations, we find the conditions when the quasisolitons, which apparently resemble the properties of solitons in nonlinear integrable equations, do exist in a noninteracting Fermi gas. We present the results for both spatially homogeneous and trapped cases, and emphasize the importance of the Fermi statistics and the absence of the interaction for the existence of such solutions.

Dark–bright solitons in a superfluid Bose–Fermi mixture

Marek Tylutki, Alessio Recati, F. Dalfovo +1 more

The recent experimental realisation of Bose–Fermi superfluid mixtures of dilute ultracold atomic gases has opened new perspectives in the study of quantum many-body systems. Depending on the values of the scattering lengths and the amount of bosons and fermions, a uniform Bose–Fermi mixture is predicted to exhibit a fully mixed phase, a fully separated phase or, in addition, a purely fermionic phase coexisting with a mixed phase. The occurrence of this intermediate configuration has interesting consequences when the system is nonuniform. In this work we theoretically investigate the case of solitonic solutions of coupled Bogoliubov–de Gennes and Gross–Pitaevskii equations for the fermionic and bosonic components, respectively. We show that, in the partially separated phase, a dark soliton in Fermi superfluid is accompanied by a broad bosonic component in the soliton, forming a dark–bright soliton which keeps full spatial coherence.

Dynamical generation of solitons in one-dimensional Fermi superfluids with and without spin-orbit coupling

We theoretically generalize a systematic language to describe the phase-imprinting technique to investigate the dynamical generation of solitons in a one-dimensional Raman-type spin-orbit-coupled Fermi superfluid. We check our method with the simulation of time-dependent Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations and find that our method not only can generate stable dark and even gray solitons in a conventional Fermi superfluid by controlling the transferred phase jump but also is feasible to create a stable dark soliton in both BCS and topological states of a spin-orbit-coupled Fermi superfluid. We also discuss the physical implication of our method.

We theoretically generalize a systematic language to describe the phase-imprinting technique, by which to investigate the dynamical generation of soliton in 1D Raman-type spin-orbit coupled Fermi superfluid. We check our method with the simulation of time-dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, and find that our method can not only generate a stable dark and even gray soliton in conventional Fermi superfluid by controlling the transferred phase jump, but also is feasible to create a stable dark soliton in both BCS and topological states of spin-orbit coupled Fermi superfluid. We also discuss the physical implication of our method.
