Abstract

Using hybrid variational model, condensate size (μm) and release energy (A§ωz) of quasi-two dimensional condensate for varying trap geometries and atom numbers were calculated. Our theoretically evaluated results are in good agreement with the experimental data and also with others theoretical workers.

Properties of quasi-two-dimensional condensates in highly anisotropic traps

Gerald Hechenblaikner, J. M. Krueger, Christopher J. Foot

We theoretically investigate some of the observable properties of quasi-two-dimensional condensates. Using a variational model based on a Gaussian-parabolic trial wave function we calculate chemical potential, condensate size in time-of-flight, release energy, and collective excitation spectrum for varying trap geometries and atom numbers and find good agreement with recent published experimental results.

An Evaluation of Chemical Potential of Quasi Two Dimensional Condensate in an Anisotropic Trap

Pankaj Kumar, Narendra Pd. Singh, Lalit Kumar Mishra

Using hybrid variational model and Gaussian variational model, chemical potential μ in the unit of A§ωz for quasi two-dimensional condensate in an anisotropic traps have been evaluated. Our results for both models are very similar in magnitude and trends. Our evaluated results are also in good agreement with other theoretical workers.

Expansion of Bose-Einstein condensates confined in quasi-one-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional traps

A. M. Kamchatnov

Solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equations are obtained in the hydrodynamic approximation for a repulsive Bose gas that expands after a quasi-one-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional trap is removed. The results are expressed in terms of measurable parameters, such as the initial condensate size and the oscillation frequencies of trapped particles. Three-dimensional effects are calculated by a variational method. The analytical results are in good agreement with available experimental data.

Hartree-Fock calculation for trapped, two-dimensional interacting Bose gases of finite size

Jae Gil Kim, Kab Seok Kang, Bong Soo Kim +1 more

The mean-field properties of trapped, two-dimensional interacting Bose gases of finite size are surveyed numerically. The coupled nonlinear equations of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation and the Hartree-Fock equation for the condensate and the thermal component, respectively, are calculated by the hybrid method, in which the GP equation and the low-lying excitations less than cut-off energy are calculated quantum mechanically using the basis representation, while the high-lying states are obtained within the local density approximation. Consistent solutions are obtained for the whole range of temperatures including the critical temperature by determining the thermodynamic chemical potential µ from the condition that the total atomic number must be the desired value, instead of identifying µ with the eigenvalue of the GP equation. Comparisons with the results of the semiclassical two-fluid model are presented.

Highly anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates: Crossover to lower dimensionality

Kunal K. Das

We develop a simple analytical model based on a variational method to explain the properties of trapped cylindrically symmetric Bose-Einstein condensates of varying degrees of anisotropy, well into the regimes of effective one dimension and effective two dimensions. Our results are accurate in regimes where the Thomas-Fermi approximation breaks down and they are shown to be in agreement with recent experimental data. We also present analytic expressions for various ground-state properties and quasiparticle excitations valid for highly anisotropic condensates.

Self-consistent calculation of the coupling constant in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Alexander Yu. Cherny, Joachim Brand

A method is proposed for a self-consistent evaluation of the coupling constant in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation without involving a pseudopotential replacement. A renormalization of the coupling constant occurs due to medium effects and the trapping potential, e.g., in quasi-1D or quasi-2D systems. It is shown that a simplified version of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation leads to a variational problem for both the condensate and a two-body wave function describing the behavior of a pair of bosons in the Bose-Einstein condensate. The resulting coupled equations are free of unphysical divergences. Particular cases of this scheme that admit analytical estimations are considered and compared to the literature. In addition to the well-known cases of low-dimensional trapping, crossover regimes can be studied. The values of the kinetic, interaction, external, and release energies in low dimensions are also evaluated and contributions due to short-range correlations are found to be substantial.
