Energy level statistics for models of coupled single-mode Bose--Einstein condensates

Abstract

We study the distribution of energy level spacings in two models describing coupled single-mode Bose-Einstein condensates. Both models have a fixed number of degrees of freedom, which is small compared to the number of interaction parameters, and is independent of the dimensionality of the Hilbert space. We find that the distribution follows a universal Poisson form independent of the choice of coupling parameters, which is indicative of the integrability of both models. These results complement those for integrable lattice models where the number of degrees of freedom increases with increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space. Finally, we also show that for one model the inclusion of an additional interaction which breaks the integrability leads to a non-Poisson distribution.

Energy-level statistics of interacting trapped bosons

Barnali Chakrabarti, Anindya Biswas, V. K. B. Kota +2 more

It is a well-established fact that statistical properties of energy-level spectra are the most efficient tool to characterize nonintegrable quantum systems. The statistical behavior of different systems such as complex atoms, atomic nuclei, two-dimensional Hamiltonians, quantum billiards, and noninteracting many bosons has been studied. The study of statistical properties and spectral fluctuations in interacting many-boson systems has developed interest in this direction. We are especially interested in weakly interacting trapped bosons in the context of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) as the energy spectrum shows a transition from a collective nature to a single-particle nature with an increase in the number of levels. However this has received less attention as it is believed that the system may exhibit Poisson-like fluctuations due to the existence of an external harmonic trap. Here we compute numerically the energy levels of the zero-temperature many-boson systems which are weakly interacting through the van der Waals potential and are confined in the three-dimensional harmonic potential. We study the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution and the spectral rigidity by unfolding the spectrum. It is found that an increase in the number of energy levels for repulsive BEC induces a transition from a Wigner-like form displaying level repulsion to the Poisson distribution for $P(s)$. It does not follow the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble prediction. For repulsive interaction, the lower levels are correlated and manifest level-repulsion. For intermediate levels $P(s)$ shows mixed statistics, which clearly signifies the existence of two energy scales: external trap and interatomic interaction, whereas for very high levels the trapping potential dominates, generating a Poisson distribution. Comparison with mean-field results for lower levels are also presented. For attractive BEC near the critical point we observe the Shnirelman-like peak near $s=0$, which signifies the presence of a large number of quasidegenerate states.

Spectrum statistics in the integrable Lieb-Liniger model

Samy Mailoud, F. Borgonovi, Felix M. Izrailev

We address the old and widely debated question of the spectrum statistics of integrable quantum systems, through the analysis of the paradigmatic Lieb-Liniger model. This quantum many-body model of one-dimensional interacting bosons allows for the rigorous determination of energy spectra via the Bethe ansatz approach and our interest is to reveal the characteristic properties of energy levels in dependence of the model parameters. Using both analytical and numerical studies we show that the properties of spectra strongly depend on whether the analysis is done for a full energy spectrum or for a single subset with fixed total momentum. We show that the Poisson distribution of spacing between nearest-neighbor energies can occur only for a set of energy levels with fixed total momentum, for neither too large nor too weak interaction strength, and for sufficiently high energy. By studying long-range correlations between energy levels, we found strong deviations from the predictions based on the assumption of pseudorandom character of the distribution of energy levels.

Interactions in low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

Lee, Mark David

Recent experiments have been moving ever closer to the goal of creating cold quantum-degenerate Bose gases in one and two dimensional systems. In this thesis we investigate such systems by adapting the mean-field theories used so successfully to describe Bose-Einstein condensates in the three dimensional case. We find that the key to describing the low dimensional systems lies in an accurate description of the interactions within those systems. In three dimensions the interactions may be well approximated by a simple form in which atoms are assumed to interact in a vacuum. Many-body effects on the scattering then lead to only a small perturbation. However, in one and two dimensions we find that the inclusion of many-body effects on the scattering is crucial, even for a first order calculation. We use a many-body T-matrix to describe the interactions, and develop a simple approximation in the zero-temperature limit that involves the off-shell two-body T-matrix evaluated at a shifted interaction energy. We therefore derive expressions for the off-shell two-body T-matrix in one, two, and three dimensions, and so find expressions for the coupling parameters which describe interactions in one and two dimensional Bose gases. These lead to interaction terms in the one and two dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equations which differ significantly from the three dimensional case. We present numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in both one and two dimensions, and in one dimension we find that the results are in agreement with exact results in the extreme limits of the interaction strength. We also investigate higher order theories in the one-dimensional case, with a view to describing the cross-over from a weakly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate to a quasicondensate as the interactions become stronger. Finally, we study the Bogoliubov-de Gennes excitation spectrum for a one dimensional condensate containing solitons. We show that it has an anomalous mode with a negative energy, and that this represents the collective motion of the soliton relative to the background condensate. (author)

Level spacing statistics of the bidimensional Fermi liquid: I. Landau fixed point and integrability

R. Mélin

We investigate the statistical properties of the excitation spectrum of one- and two-dimensional models for Landau liquids. The level spacing statistics are found to be Poissonian for non-zero separations and sufficiently strong interactions. In the Poissonian regime, the level spacing statistics are independent of the precise form of the interaction parameters.

Chaos in coupled atom–molecular Bose–Einstein condensates

Haiming Deng, Jian‐Quan Huang, Dajun Lei +2 more

Abstract We investigate the chaotic dynamics of a coupled three-level atom–molecular Bose–Einstein condensate system composed by one molecular mode and two atomic modes. With the increase of atom–molecular coupling strength, we reveal the emergence of chaotic oscillations of the relative population difference between two atomic modes, which can be proven by the broad windows with a huge number of frequencies in spectral density and the chaotic trajectories in phase space diagrams. The different effects of initial states on atomic population oscillations are revealed, where for more particles in the initial state of the molecular model, chaos appears in the larger parameter region of system dynamics. Furthermore, we find that strong intermolecular interaction strength can suppress chaos resulting from strong atom–molecule coupling. This is due to the difficult transformation between atomic and molecular modes, as well as the relatively independent dynamic evolution of atoms and molecules.
