Abstract

In this paper we study the nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling of a boson-fermion mixture in a double-well potential by adjusting the interaction parameter of its components. We find that the tunneling in the system can be affected by adjusting the interatomic self-interaction parameter. Moreover, we notice that the tunneling in the system show a critical phenomenon if variation of interatomic self-interaction, and critical point are given.

The periodic modulation of a Bose-Fermi mixture in double-well trap

Heng Zhang, Duan Wen-Shan

In this paper, we study the self-trapping of a Bose-Fermi mixture in a periodic modulation field by adjusting fermionic number and interaction parameter in a double-well potential. We find that the self-trapping of bosons can be affected by interatomic self-interaction and interspecific interaction parameter. Moreover, we notice that the self-trapping of bosons gives rise to a critical phenomenon with the variation of interaction strength and fermionic number.

Nonlinear Landau-Zener transition of Fermi superfluid gases

Wen-Yuan Wang, Hongjuan Meng, Yang Yang +4 more

By using the analysis of phase, fixed point and tunneling rate between two wells, we study the nonlinear Landau-Zener transition of Fermi superfluid gases in a two-mode system. We find that the interaction between fermi pairs can affect the quantum transition. We also find that when the interaction parameter c is less than the critical value c*, in the adiabatic limit, the quantum adiabatic transition theorem is still satisfied, but when the interaction parameter c is greater than this critical value, the quantum adiabatic transition theorem will not be satisfied. Finally, we obtain the relationship between the tunneling rate and the scan rate by comparing with the linear case.

Interaction-modulated tunneling dynamics of a mixture of Bose-Fermi superfluid

Hong-Ping Xu, Zhen-Zhen He, Zi-Fa Yu +1 more

In this paper, we study the interaction-modulated tunneling dynamics of a Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture, where a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with weak repulsive interaction is confined in a symmetric deep double-well potential and an equally populated two-component Fermi gas in a harmonic potential symmetrically is positioned in the center of the double-well potential. The tunneling between the two wells is modulated by fermions trapped in a harmonic potential. When the temperature is adequately low and the bosonic particle number is adequately large, we can employ the mean-field theory to describe the evolution of the BEC in the double-well potential through the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For the Fermi gas in the harmonic potential trap, we consider the case where the inter-fermion interaction is tuned on the deep Bose-Einstein condensate of the inter-fermion Feshbach resonance, where two fermions of spin-up and spin-down form a two-body bound state. Within the regime, the Fermi gas is well described by a condensate of these fermionic dimers, and hence can be simulated as well by a Gross-Pitaevskii equation of dimers. The inter-species interactions couple the dynamics of the two species, which results in interesting features in the tunneling oscillations. The dynamic equations of the BEC in the double-well potential is described by a two-mode approximation. Coupling it with time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation of the harmonically potential trapped molecular BEC, we numerically investigate the dynamical evolution of the Boson-Fermi hybrid system under different initial conditions. It is found that the interaction among fermions in a harmonic potential leads to strong non-linearity in the oscillations of the bosons in the double-well potential and enriches the tunneling dynamics of the bosons. Especially, it strengthens macroscopic quantum self-trapping. And the macroscopic quantum self-trapping can be expressed in three forms: the phase tends to be negative and monotonically decreases with time, the phase evolves with time, and the phase tends to be positive and increases monotonically with time. This means that it is possible the tunneling dynamics of the BEC in double-well potential is adjustable. Our results can be verified experimentally in a Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture by varying different interaction parameters via Feshbach resonance and confinement-induced resonance.

Tunneling dynamics and phase transition of a Bose-Fermi mixture in a double well

Qi Peng-Tang, Wen‐Shan Duan

The coherent nonlinear tunneling dynamics of a boson-fermion mixture in a double-well potential is studied in this paper. Four types of phase are found for the mixture. The first one is two species localizing in different potential wells. The second one is two species coexisting in the same well. The third one is two species equally populated in two wells. The fourth one is one species equally populated in two wells while the other species is in one well. The phase transitions among these four states have been investigated. The interspecies and intraspecies interactions as well as bosonic and fermionic numbers can dramatically affect these phase transitions.

Nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling

Biao Wu, Qian Niu

A self-interacting two-level system depending on an external parameter is investigated. The most striking feature exhibited in this system is the presence of a nonzero tunneling probability in the adiabatic limit for large enough interaction strength. Possible experimental observation of this breakdown of adiabaticity using a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical potential is suggested.

The nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of two different of particles in an accelerating optical lattice is investigated. The analytical eigenstates and the tunneling probability are obtained. It is shown that the eigenstates and the tunneling probability are modified dramatically by the interaction of the two different particles.
