Loss of superfluidity in the Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice with cubic and quintic nonlinearity

Priyam Das, Manan Vyas, Prasanta K Panigrahi

In a one-dimensional shallow optical lattice, in the presence of both cubic and quintic nonlinearity, a superfluid density wave is identified in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Interestingly, it ceases to exist when only one of these interactions is operative. We predict the loss of superfluidity through a classical dynamical phase transition, where modulational instability leads to the loss of phase coherence. In a certain parameter domain, the competition between lattice potential and the interactions is shown to give rise to a stripe phase, where atoms are confined in finite domains. In a pure two-body case, apart from the known superfluid and insulating phases, a density wave insulating phase is found to exist, possessing two frequency modulations commensurate with the lattice potential.

Dynamical classical superfluid–insulator transition in a Bose–Einstein condensate on an optical lattice

Sadhan K. Adhikari

We predict a dynamical classical superfluid–insulator transition in a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in combined optical and axially symmetrical harmonic potentials initiated by the periodic modulation of the radial trapping potential. The transition is marked by a loss of phase coherence in the BEC and a subsequent destruction of the interference pattern upon free expansion. For a weak modulation of the radial potential the phase coherence is maintained. For a stronger modulation and a longer holding time in the modulated trap, the phase coherence is destroyed thus signalling a classical superfluid–insulator transition. The results are illustrated by a complete numerical solution of the axially symmetrical mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equation for a repulsive BEC. Suggestions for future experimentation are made.
