Abstract We study three-dimensional vortex lattice structures in purely dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC). By using the mean-field approximation, we obtain a stability diagram for the vortex states in purely dipolar BECs as a function of harmonic trap aspect ratio ( λ ) and dipole–dipole interaction strength ( D ) under rotation. Rotating the condensate within the unstable region leads to collapse while in the stable region furnishes stable vortex lattices of dipolar BECs. We analyse stable vortex lattice structures by solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation in imaginary time. Further, the stability of vortex states is examined by evolution in real-time. We also investigate the distribution of vortices in a fully anisotropic trap by increasing eccentricity of the external trapping potential. We observe the breaking up of the condensate in two parts with an equal number of vortices on each when the trap is sufficiently weak, and the rotation frequency is high.Abstract We study three-dimensional vortex lattice structures in purely dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC).

Three-dimensional analysis of vortex-lattice formation in rotating Bose–Einstein condensates using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics

Satori Tsuzuki, Eri Itoh, Katsuhiro Nishinari

Abstract Recently, we presented a new numerical scheme for vortex lattice formation in a rotating Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with an explicit time-integrating scheme; our SPH scheme could reproduce the vortex lattices and their formation processes in rotating quasi-two-dimensional (2D) BECs trapped in a 2D harmonic potential. In this study, we have successfully demonstrated a simulation of rotating 3D BECs trapped in a 3D harmonic potential forming ‘cigar-shaped’ condensates. We have found that our scheme can reproduce the following typical behaviors of rotating 3D BECs observed in the literature: (i) the characteristic shape of the lattice formed in the cross-section at the origin and its formation process, (ii) the stable existence of vortex lines along the vertical axis after reaching the steady state, (iii) a ‘cookie-cutter’ shape, with a similar lattice shape observed wherever we cut the condensate in a certain range in the vertical direction, (iv) the bending of vortex lines when approaching the inner edges of the condensate, and (v) the formation of vortex lattices by vortices entering from outside the condensate. Therefore, we further validated our scheme by simulating rotating 3D BECs.Abstract Recently, we presented a new numerical scheme for vortex lattice formation in a rotating Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with an explicit time-integrating scheme; our SPH scheme could reproduce the vortex lattices and their formation processes in rotating quasi-two-dimensional (2D) BECs trapped in a 2D harmonic potential.

Vortices in a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate under extreme elongation in a harmonic plus quartic trap

Chao Huang, C. H. Liu, W. C. Wu

The behaviors of a rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate under extreme elongation in a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic plus quartic trap are investigated. Due to the quartic trap, the system remains stable at high rotating velocity, $\ensuremath{\Omega}\ensuremath{\geqslant}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ (${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ is the radial harmonic trap frequency), and vortex lattices form even in the absence of the repulsive $s$ -wave interaction ( $g$ ). When $g$ is present, the interplay between $g$ and the quartic trap potential can lead to rich vortex lattice transition states as a function of $\ensuremath{\Omega}$, to which vortex lattices vanish eventually at some higher $\ensuremath{\Omega}$.The behaviors of a rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate under extreme elongation in a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic plus quartic trap are investigated.
