An Optical Analog for a Rotating Binary Bose—Einstein Condensate

Abstract

Coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations for paraxial optics with two circular polarizations of light in a defocusing Kerr medium with anomalous dispersion coincide in form with the Gross–Pitaevskii equations for a binary Bose—Einstein condensate (BEC) of cold atoms in the phase separation regime. In this case, the helical symmetry of an optical waveguide corresponds to rotation of the transverse potential confining the BEC. The “centrifugal force” considerably affects the propagation of a light wave in such a system. Numerical experiments for a waveguide with an elliptical cross section have revealed characteristic structures consisting of quantized vortices and domain walls between two polarizations, which have not been observed earlier in optics.

Nonlinear Schrodinger equations for Bose-Einstein condensates

Luigi Galati, Shijun Zheng

The Gross-Pitaevskii equation, or more generally the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, models the Bose-Einstein condensates in a macroscopic gaseous superfluid wave-matter state in ultra-cold temperature. We provide analytical study of the NLS with L2 initial data in order to understand propagation of the defocusing and focusing waves for the BEC mechanism in the presence of electromagnetic fields. Numerical simulations are performed for the two-dimensional GPE with anisotropic quadratic potentials.

Systems of Vortices in a Binary Core–Shell Bose–Einstein Condensate

V. P. Ruban

A trapped Bose–Einstein-condensed mixture of two types of cold atoms with significantly different masses has been simulated numerically within the coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations. A configuration consisting of a vortex-free core and a shell penetrated by quantum vortices is possible in the phase separation regime. The dynamic properties of vortices in the shell are determined by several parameters. Physically implementable parametric domains corresponding to long-lived strongly nonstationary systems of several vortices attached to the core have been sought. A number of realistic numerical examples of three vortex pairs existing for many hundreds of characteristic times have been presented.

Control of Light-Atom Solitons and Atomic Transport by Optical Vortex Beams Propagating through a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Grant W. Henderson, Gordon R. M. Robb, Gian‐Luca Oppo +1 more

We model propagation of far-red-detuned optical vortex beams through a Bose-Einstein condensate using nonlinear Schrödinger and Gross-Pitaevskii equations. We show the formation of coupled light-atomic solitons that rotate azimuthally before moving off tangentially, carrying angular momentum. The number, and velocity, of solitons, depends on the orbital angular momentum of the optical field. Using a Bessel-Gauss beam increases radial confinement so that solitons can rotate with fixed azimuthal velocity. Our model provides a highly controllable method of channeling a BEC and atomic transport.

Split vortices in optically coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

Juan José García‐Ripoll, Víctor M. Pérez‐García, Fernando Sols

We study a rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensate in which an optically induced Josephson coupling allows for population transfer between the two species. In a regime where separation of species is favored, the ground state of the rotating system displays domain walls with velocity fields normal to them. Such a configuration looks like a vortex split into two halves, with atoms circulating around the vortex and changing their internal state as they cross the domain wall.

Effects of nonlinearity on the optical diffraction of Bose-Einstein condensates: Direct integration of optically coupled multicomponent Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Taro Ando, Yoshiyuki Ohtaké, Junichi Kondo +1 more

We investigate in detail the effects of nonlinearity on optical diffraction of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). By directly integrating the optically coupled two-component Gross-Pitaevskii equation in real space-time, comprehensive analyses of BEC optical diffraction phenomena are done under various conditions of light-pulse irradiation, total number of BEC atoms, etc., without using the adiabatic elimination approximation for an atomic excited state. Calculation results for the optical diffraction of ${}^{87}\text{Rb}$ BECs revealed that (1) the effect of nonlinearity on the atomic states causes the ``nonkinetic'' nonlinear effect in the Raman-Nath regime of diffraction, while the dynamics of BEC atoms due to the nonlinearity-induced repulsive forces works dominantly to produce the ``kinetic'' nonlinear effect in the Bragg regime of diffraction; (2) nonlinearity reduces the amplitude and frequency of the two-photon Rabi oscillation between BEC stationary and moving states, suggesting limitations in implementing the BEC Mach-Zehnder interferometer; and (3) the observed nonlinear effects are free from kinetic effects of the atomic excited state and not responsible for the optical transition process.
