Particle scattering by rotating trapped quantum gases at finite temperature

Abstract

Abstract We have analytically explored the quantum phenomena of particle scattering by rotating trapped quantum gases of electrically neutral bosons and fermions for the short-ranged Fermi-Huang interactions between the incident particle and the scatterers. We have predicted differential scattering cross-sections and their temperature and angular velocity dependencies in this regard, in particular, for an ideal Bose gas in a rotating harmonic trap, an ideal Fermi gas in a rotating harmonic trap, and a weakly interacting Bose gas in a slow rotating harmonic trap. We have theoretically probed the lattice-pattern of the vortices in a rapidly rotating strongly interacting Bose–Einstein condensate by the particle scattering method. We also have obtained de Haas-van Alphen-like oscillations in the differential scattering cross-section for an ideal ultracold Fermi gas in a rotating harmonic trap. Our predictions on the differential scattering cross-sections can be tested within the present-day experimental setups.

Particle scattering by harmonically trapped Bose and Fermi gases

Ankita Bhattacharya, Samir Das, Shyamal Biswas

Abstract We have analytically explored the quantum phenomenon of particle scattering by harmonically trapped Bose and Fermi gases with the short ranged Fermi–Huang δ p 3 interactions (Fermi 1936 Ric. Sci. 7 13; Huang and Yang 1957 Phys. Rev. 105 767) interactions among the incident particle and the scatterers. We have predicted differential scattering cross-sections and their temperature dependence in this regard. Coherent scattering even by a single boson or fermion in the finite geometry gives rise to new tool of determining energy eigenstate of the scatterer. Our predictions on the differential scattering cross-sections can be tested within the present day experimental setups, specially, for (i) 3D harmonically trapped interacting Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), (ii) BECs in a double well, and (iii) BECs in an optical lattice.

Theory of quantum scattering for quantum scatterers

A. Bhattacharya, Shyamal Biswas

We have analytically explored the phenomenon of quantum scattering for unfixed quantum scatterers. We have considered short ranged (Fermi-Huang $\delta_p^3$ [1]) interaction between the incident `particle' and the scatterer with no interactions among the scatterers, and the scatterers as (i) particle(s) in a 1-D box, (ii) particle(s) in a 1-D double box, (iii) particle(s) in a 1-D grating, (iv) particle(s) in a 2-D rectangular box, (v) particle(s) in a 3-D harmonic trap, (vi) Bose-Einstein condensates in a double well, (vii) Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice, etc. Coherent scattering from all possible positions of the quantum scatterers in the finite geometry gives rise to rich physics. We have predicted differential scattering cross-section for `particle' scattering, not only for the above cases, but also for 3-D harmonically trapped Bose and Fermi gases in thermodynamic equilibrium. Our predictions can be tested within the present day experimental setups.

Angular Momentum Oscillations in Rotating Two-Dimensional Fermi Gases Confined by Harmonic Traps

A. Berkane

We investigate the angular momentum of a two-dimensional non-interacting Fermi gas confined in a rotating harmonic trap. By employing a quantum statistical approach, analytical expressions for the angular momentum are derived and analyzed as functions of particle number and rotation frequency. The rotational motion introduces a shell structure in the energy spectrum, giving rise to oscillatory behavior analogous to the de Haas–van Alphen oscillations observed in electronic systems subjected to magnetic fields. Numerical calculations reveal that these oscillations are most pronounced for weak rotation and small particle numbers, while they become progressively damped as the particle number increases. The results emphasize the close analogy between ultracold rotating gases and charged particles in magnetic fields and provide further insight into quantum rotational effects in confined Fermi systems.

Quantum oscillations in ultracold Fermi gases: Realizations with rotating gases or artificial gauge fields

Charles Grenier, Corinna Kollath, Antoine Georges

We consider the angular momentum of a harmonically trapped, noninteracting Fermi gas subject to either rotation or to an artificial gauge field. The angular momentum of the gas is shown to display oscillations as a function of the particle number or chemical potential. This phenomenon is analogous to the de Haas--van Alphen oscillations of the magnetization in the solid-state context. However, key differences exist between the solid-state and ultracold atomic gases that we point out and analyze. We explore the dependence of the visibility of these oscillations on the physical parameters and propose two experimental protocols for their observation. Due to the very strong dependence of the amplitude of the oscillations on temperature, we propose their use as a sensitive thermometer for Fermi gases in the low-temperature regime.

Scattering by harmonically trapped 2D quantum gas near and around the critical regime

Samir Das

Abstract In this article, we analytically explore the quantum phenomena of scattering by harmonically trapped 2D quantum gases. We show the temperature’s dependence on the differential scattering cross-section (DSC) near and around the critical transition regime for both particle and light scattering cases separately. For the particle scattering case, we consider scatterers with quantized bound motion in a harmonic trap. Our findings on the structure factor for light scattering give phase transition phenomena for 2D bosonic atoms and the thermal behavior of the system. This result has practical significance for recent experimental setups such as in situ image analysis and bosonic simulations. Finally, we show the temperature-dependent refractive index for a 2D harmonically trapped bosonic medium. This parameter is important in neutron scattering experiments.

Theory of ultracold atomic Fermi gases

S. Giorgini, Лев П. Питаевский, S. Stringari

The physics of quantum degenerate atomic Fermi gases in uniform as well as in harmonically trapped configurations is reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Emphasis is given to the effect of interactions that play a crucial role, bringing the gas into a superfluid phase at low temperature. In these dilute systems, interactions are characterized by a single parameter, the $s$-wave scattering length, whose value can be tuned using an external magnetic field near a broad Feshbach resonance. The BCS limit of ordinary Fermi superfluidity, the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of dimers, and the unitary limit of large scattering length are important regimes exhibited by interacting Fermi gases. In particular, the BEC and the unitary regimes are characterized by a high value of the superfluid critical temperature, on the order of the Fermi temperature. Different physical properties are discussed, including the density profiles and the energy of the ground-state configurations, the momentum distribution, the fraction of condensed pairs, collective oscillations and pair-breaking effects, the expansion of the gas, the main thermodynamic properties, the behavior in the presence of optical lattices, and the signatures of superfluidity, such as the existence of quantized vortices, the quenching of the moment of inertia, and the consequences of spin polarization. Various theoretical approaches are considered, ranging from the mean-field description of the BCS-BEC crossover to nonperturbative methods based on quantum Monte Carlo techniques. A major goal of the review is to compare theoretical predictions with available experimental results.
