Nonlinearity effects in wave propagation in multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensates

I. E. Mazets, E. V. Orlenko, Boris G. Matisov

We consider a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate in its polar ground state. We analyze magnetization waves of a finite amplitude and show that their nonlinear coupling to density waves dramatically changes the dependence of the frequency on the wave number. On the contrary, the density wave propagation is much less modified by nonlinearity effects. A similar phenomenon in a miscible two-component condensate is also studied.

Dispersion engineering in spin-orbit-coupled spinor F=1 condensates driven by negative masses

K. Rajaswathi, S. Bhuvaneswari, R. Radha +1 more

In this paper, we bring out several potential signatures of negative mass regimes while investigating an expanding spin-orbit-coupled spinor $F=1$ Bose-Einstein condensate by analyzing the dispersion relation of the single-particle quantum system. In spin-orbit-coupled spinor condensates, a negative-mass parameter generates a wave packet that propagates in the opposite direction of the momentum. We analyze the dynamics of spin waves analytically and present a simple approach to investigate the expansion of spinor condensates. In particular, we examine the dynamics when both masses are negative, which results in the spinor condensates splitting into two counterpropagating self-interfering packets. Using numerical simulations of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations, we demonstrate the density expansion and self-interference patterns with and without magnetization for repulsive and attractive interactions with different coupling parameters. The highlight of our investigation is that we are able to unearth several phenomena observed in experiments, such as self-interfering packets, pileup, modulation instability, slow down, self-trapping, and gap solitons. In particular, the gap soliton exists at the gap created by the intersection of two negative masses.

Coherent Spin Dynamics of a Spin-1 Bose-Einstein Condensate

M.-S. Chang

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is a phenomenon in which identical bosons occupy the same quantum state below a certain critical temperature. A hallmark of BEC is the coherence between particles every particle shares the same quantum wavefunction and phase. This coherence has been demonstrated for the external (motional) degrees of freedom of the atomic condensates by interfering two condensates. In this thesis, the coherence is shown to extend to the internal spin degrees of freedom of a spin-1 Bose gas evidenced by the observed coherent and reversible spin-changing collisions. The observed coherent dynamics are analogous to Josephson oscillations in weakly connected superconductors and represent a type of matter-wave four-wave mixing. Control of the coherent evolution of the system using magnetic fields is also demonstrated. The studies on spinor condensates begin by creating spinor condensates directly using all-optical approaches that were first developed in our laboratory. All-optical formation of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in 1D optical lattice and single focus trap geometries are developed and presented. These techniques offer considerable flexibility and speed compared to magnetic trap approaches, and the trapping potential can be essentially spin-independent and are ideally suited for studying spinor condensates. Using condensates with well-defined initial non-equilibrium spin configuration, spin mixing of F = 1 and F = 2 spinor condensates of rubidium-87 atoms confined in an optical trap is observed. The equilibrium spin configuration in the F = 1 manifold confirms that 87Rb is ferromagnetic. The coherent spinor dynamics are demonstrated by initiating spin mixing deterministically with a non-stationary spin population configuration. Finally, the interplay between the coherent spin mixing and spatial dynamics in spin-1 condensates with ferromagnetic interactions is investigated.
