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

Abstract

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.

Collective excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an anharmonic trap

We investigate the collective excitations of a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive interaction between atoms in a quadratic plus quartic trap. Using variational approaches, the coupled equations of motions for the center-of-mass coordinate of the condensate and its width are derived. Then, two low-energy excitation modes are obtained analytically. The frequency shift induced by the anharmonic distortion, and the collapse and revival of the collective excitations originating from the nonlinear coupling between the two modes, are discussed.

It is investigated that the collective excitations of a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate(BEC) with repulsive interaction between atoms in a quadratic plus quartic trap V(x)=12(x~2+λx~4).By using the variational approach,the analytical expressions are derived for two low-energy collective modes,and the effect of the anharmonicity of the potential trap on BEC collective excitations is studied.When(λ0) the frequencies will be blue shifted and when λ0 the frequencies will be red shifted.Meanwhile,the variations of the center-of-mass of the condensate and its width under different values of the driving amplitude are discussed.It is found that the two modes couple each other due to the anharmonicity,and the beating structure for the variation of the width occur.Finally,the response result corresponding to the frequency driving is given.

Collective Excitations and Nonlinear Dynamics of 1D BEC with Two- and Three-body Interactions in Anharmonic Traps

Guan-Qiang Li, Peng Ping, Liu Jian-Ke +1 more

The collective excitations of low-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions in anharmonic potentials are investigated. Using the standard variational approach, the governing equations of motions for the low-energy excitations are obtained by solving time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii–Ginzburg equation, and the excitation spectrums are calculated in small amplitude limit. The frequency shift and nonlinear mode coupling induced by the anharmonic distortion (adding cubic, quartic, or quintic term to a harmonic trap) are studied.

Collective excitations of a BEC under anharmonic trap position jittering

F. Kh. Abdullaev, R. M. Galimzyanov, Kh. N. Ismatullaev

Collective excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate under periodic oscillations of a quadratic plus quartic trap position has been studied. A coupled set of variational equations is derived for the width and the condensate wave function center. Analytical expressions for the growth of oscillation amplitudes in the resonance case are derived. It is shown that jittering of an anharmonic trap position can cause double resonance of the BEC width and the center of mass oscillation in the wide range of the BEC parameters values. The predictions of variational approach are confirmed by full numerical simulations of the 1D GP equation.

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates under anharmonic trap

Hamid Al-Jibbouri

The dynamics of weakly interacting three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), trapped in external axially symmetric plus anharmonic distortion potential are studied. Within a variational approach and time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, the coupled condensate width equations are derived. By modulating anharmonic distortion of the trapping potential, nonlinear features are studied numerically and illustrated analytically, such as mode coupling of oscillation modes, and resonances. Furthermore, the stability of attractive interaction BEC in both repulsive and attractive anharmonic distortion is examined. We demonstrate that a small repulsive and attractive anharmonic distortion is effective in reducing (extending) the condensate stability region since it decreases (increases) the critical number of atoms in the trapping potential.

Low-lying modes of trapped condensed atoms in anharmonic trap

Hamid Al-Jibbouri

We describe the physical properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEc) confined by a three-dimensional harmonic plus cubic and quartic trap. To this end, we solve the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation within a variational approach in order to obtain a set of second ordinary differential equations for the condensate widths. We then discuss in detail the low-lying oscillation modes, in an anharmonic trap where the anharmonicity of the confining potential leads to significant effect on the collective excitations of the system.
