Abstract

We investigated the low-lying collective excitations of quasi-two-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a rotating harmonic potential using the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equation. By varying the trap rotation frequency and dipolar interaction strength, we show how the anisotropic dipole-dipole interaction modifies the collective excitations of the condensates. In particular, under strong dipolar interaction, the vortex-displacement excitations differ significantly from the nondipolar case.

Excitation spectrum of vortex-lattice modes in a rotating condensate with a density-dependent gauge potential

Rony Boral, Swarup K. Sarkar, Matthew Edmonds +2 more

We investigate the collective excitation spectrum of a quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a harmonic confinement with nonlinear rotation induced by a density-dependent gauge potential. Using a Bogoliubov--de Gennes (BdG) analysis, we show that the dipole mode frequency depends strongly on the nonlinear interaction strength, violating Kohn's theorem which is also well complemented by the analytical expression for the dipole and breathing modes obtained employing a variational analysis. We identify four different vortex displacement modes, Tkachenko, circular, quadratic, and rational, whose frequencies are rotation sensitive. An analytical Tkachenko mode frequency from a hydrodynamic approach agrees well with that computed using BdG and Fourier analysis. The excitation spectrum remains symmetric around the angular quantum number $l=0$, but energy splitting between $l$ and $\ensuremath{-}l$ varies with the sign and strength of the nonlinear rotation. Finally, we demonstrate that the surface mode excitation frequency increases (decreases) with an increase in the positive (negative) nonlinear rotation strength.

Rotational properties of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates confined in anisotropic harmonic potentials

Francesc Malet, Tom Kristensen, S. M. Reimann +1 more

We study the rotational properties of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a quasi-two-dimensional anisotropic trap for an arbitrary orientation of the dipoles with respect to their plane of motion. Within the mean-field approximation, we find that the lowest-energy state of the system depends strongly on the relative strength between the dipolar and the contact interactions, as well as on the size and the orientation of the dipoles and the size and the orientation of the deformation of the trapping potential.

Collective Excitations of a Dipolar Bose—Einstein Condensate in an Anharmonic Trap

Wei Qi, Zhaoxin Liang, Zhang Zhi-dong

The collective excitations of a one-dimensional dipolar Bose—Einstein condensate trapped in an anharmonic potential are investigated theoretically. Using the variational approach, we obtain the coupled equations of motion for the center-of-mass coordinate of the condensate and its width. In particular, analytical expressions for the low-lying excitation modes are given. The results show that dipole-dipole interactions reduce the frequency shift induced by quartic distortion. The interplay between dipole-dipole interactions and anharmonic distortion for the collapse and revival of the collective excitations originating from the nonlinear coupling between the two modes are also discussed.

Numerical studies on vortices in rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

R. Kishor Kumar, Paulsamy Muruganandam

We study the formation and dynamics of vortices in quasi two-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We solve the time dependent two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation by using a combined split-step Crank-Nicolson (SSCN) and Fast Fourier-Transform (FFT) based numerical scheme and investigate the vortex dynamics in dipolar BECs trapped with harmonic and optical lattice potentials. The consequence of dipole-dipole interaction on vortex nucleation and number of vortices has been analysed. We observe that the breaking of symmetry due to anisotropic dipolar interaction enormously increase the speed of creation of vortices.

Vortex dynamics of rotating dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates

R. Kishor Kumar, Paulsamy Muruganandam

We study the influence of dipole–dipole interaction on the formation of vortices in a rotating dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of 52 Cr and 164 Dy atoms in quasi two-dimensional geometry. By numerically solving the corresponding time-dependent mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equation, we show that the dipolar interaction enhances the number of vortices, while a repulsive contact interaction increases the stability of the vortices. Furthermore, an ordered vortex lattice of a relatively large number of vortices is found in a strongly dipolar BEC.

Structural transition and fragmentation of vortex lattices in rotating tilted dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

Mamta Ale, Harsimranjit Kaur, Kuldeep Suthar

We investigate the vortex lattices of harmonically confined quasi-two-dimensional tilted rotational dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. By employing an extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a rotating condensate, we reveal the structural transformation of vortices from square to triangular lattices as the tilt of dipolar bosons relative to the polarization axis approaches a critical angle. When the tilt of the magnetic dipoles surpasses the magic angle, the condensate elongates diagonally and becomes devoid of vortices. Moreover, we include the Lee-Huang-Yang correction, which enables the formation of vortices in the elongated condensate. Additionally, when dipoles are oriented perpendicular to the polarization axis, the Lee-Huang-Yang correction results in the fragmentation of condensates under strong rotation. The quench dynamics of the rotational frequency demonstrate the development of vortex lattices; however, with a strong rotational quench, the condensate remains free of vortices. Our numerical analysis highlights the beyond mean-field effects of the rotational properties of anisotropic dipolar bosons, which can be observed in current dipolar quantum gas experiments.
