Abstract

The theory of Bose-Einstein condensation in a two-dimensional(2D) harmonic trap is developed from 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The 2D interaction strength is obtained from a 2D collision theory. We show the realization of 2D condensation of trapped Bose atoms directly by obtaining the stable solutions for the condensate wave function from the 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We calculate the ground-state energy of the 2D system, and also the wave function of the 2D vortex state. In particular, the 2D energy state becomes less stable than the 3D case with the number of trapped atoms. The results of the 2D Bose condensation are also compared with those of the well-known 3D case.

Two-Dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii Equation: Theory of Bose-Einstein Condensation and the Vortex State

Sanghoon Kim, C. Won, Sung Dahm Oh +1 more

We derive the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in two-dimension from the first principles of two-dimensional scattering theory. Numerical calculation of the condensate wave function shows that atoms in a two-dimensional harmonic trap can be condensed into its ground state. Moreover, the ground state energy and the wave function of two-dimensional vortex state are also obtained. Quantitative comparisons between 2D results and 3D ones are made in detail.

Bose-Einstein condensation in a two-dimensional, trapped, interacting gas

Mehmet Bayındır, B. Tanatar

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation phenomenon in a two-dimensional (2D) system of bosons subjected to a harmonic-oscillator-type confining potential. The interaction among the 2D bosons is described by a \ensuremath{\delta} function in configuration space. Solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation within the two-fluid model we calculate the condensate fraction, ground-state energy, and specific heat of the system. Our results indicate that interacting bosons have similar behavior to those of an ideal system for weak interactions.

Exact solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for stable vortex modes in two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

Lei Wu, Lu Li, Jie-Fang Zhang +3 more

We construct exact solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for solitary vortices, and approximate ones for fundamental solitons, in two-dimensional models of Bose-Einstein condensates with a spatially modulated nonlinearity of either sign and a harmonic trapping potential. The number of vortex-soliton (VS) modes is determined by the discrete energy spectrum of a related linear Schr\"odinger equation. The VS families in the system with the attractive and repulsive nonlinearity are mutually complementary. Stable VSs with vorticity $S\ensuremath{\geqslant}2$ and those corresponding to higher-order radial states are reported, in the case of the attraction and repulsion, respectively.

Validity of Gross–Pitaevskii solutions of harmonically confined BEC gases in reduced dimensions

R Zamora-Zamora, G A Domínguez-Castro, C Trallero-Giner +2 more

Abstract By exact numerical solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation in 3D, we assess the validity of 1D and 2D approximations in the study of Bose–Einstein condensates confined in harmonic trap potentials. Typically, these approximations are performed when one or more of the harmonic frequencies are much greater than the remaining ones, using arguments based on the adiabatic evolution of the initial approximated state. Deviations from the 3D solution are evaluated as a function of both the effective interaction strength and the ratio between the trap frequencies that define the reduced dimension where the condensate is confined. The observables analyzed are both of stationary and dynamical character, namely, the chemical potential, the wave function profiles, and the time evolution of the approximated 1D and 2D stationary states, considered as initial states in the 3D GP equation. Our study, besides setting quantitative limits on approximations previously developed, should be useful in actual experimental studies where quasi-1D and quasi-2D conditions are assumed. From a qualitative perspective, 1D and 2D approximations certainly become valid when the anisotropy is large, but in addition the interaction strength needs to be above a certain threshold.

Vortex stability in interacting Bose-Einstein condensates

Ajay Srinivasan, Aaron Wirthwein, Stephan Haas

We study the stability of vortices in a binary system of Bose-Einstein condensat es, with their wave functions modeled by a set of coupled, time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Beginning with an effective two-dimensional system, we identify miscible and immiscible regimes characterized by the inter- and intra-atomic interactions and the initial configuration of the system. We then consider a binary system of Bose-Einstein condensates placed in a rotating harmonic trap and study the single united vortex state in this system. We derive an approximate form for the energy of a single united vortex in the binary system and the critical angular velocity for the global stability of a vortex at the center of the trap. We also compute the metastability onset angular velocity for the local stability of a vortex at the center of the trap. Numerical solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equations support these expressions. These rotational results inform us of a novel bimodal formation within the miscible regime of the binary condensate system. We thus demonstrate the nontrivial aspects of vortex stability in interacting binary Bose-Einstein condensates as a result of their nonlinear interactions.
