Abstract

We study the quantum Hall phases that appear in the dilute limit of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. By exact diagonalization in a spherical geometry we obtain the ground state and low-lying excited states of a small number of bosons as a function of the filling fraction nu, the ratio of the number of bosons to the number of vortices. We show the occurrence of the Jain principal sequence of incompressible liquids for nu=2/3,3/4,4/3,5/4 in addition to the Laughlin state nu=1/2 as well as the Pfaffian state for nu=1. We give gap estimates by finite-size scaling of both charged and neutral excitations.

Quantum Hall fractions for spinless bosons

Nicolas Regnault, Th. Jolicœur

We study the quantum Hall phases that appear in the fast-rotation limit for Bose-Einstein condensates of spinless bosonic atoms. We use exact diagonalization in a spherical geometry to obtain low-lying states of a small number of bosons as a function of the angular momentum. This allows us to understand or guess the physics at a given filling fraction $\ensuremath{\nu}$, the ratio of the number of bosons to the number of vortices. This is also the filling factor of the lowest Landau level. In addition to the well-known Bose-Laughlin state at $\ensuremath{\nu}=1∕2$, we give evidence for the Jain principal sequence of incompressible states at $\ensuremath{\nu}=p∕(p\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)$ for a few values of $p$. There is a collective mode in these states whose phenomenology is in agreement with standard arguments coming, e.g., from the composite-fermion picture. At filling factor 1, the potential Fermi sea of composite fermions is replaced by a paired state, the Moore-Read state. This is most clearly seen from the half-flux nature of elementary excitations. We find that the hierarchy picture does not extend up to the point of transition towards a vortex lattice. While we cannot come to any definite conclusions, we investigate the clustered Read-Rezayi states and show evidence for incompressible states at the expected ratio of flux versus number of Bose particles.

Condensation of “Composite Bosons” in a Rotating BEC

Nicola K. Wilkin, J. M. F. Gunn

We provide evidence for several novel phases in the dilute limit of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. By exact calculation of wave functions and energies for small numbers of particles, we show that the states near integer angular momentum per particle are best considered condensates of composite entities, involving vortices and atoms. We are led to this result by explicit comparison with a description purely in terms of vortices. Several parallels with the fractional quantum Hall effect emerge, including the presence of the Pfaffian state.

Quantum Phases of Vortices in Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates

Nigel R. Cooper, Nicola K. Wilkin, J. M. F. Gunn

We investigate the ground states of weakly interacting bosons in a rotating trap as a function of the number of bosons, N, and the average number of vortices, N(V). We identify the filling fraction nu identical with N/N(V) as the parameter controlling the nature of these states. We present results indicating that, as a function of nu, there is a zero temperature phase transition between a triangular vortex lattice phase, and strongly correlated vortex liquid phases. The vortex liquid phases appear to be the Read-Rezayi parafermion states.

Quantum Hall fractions in ultracold fermionic vapors

Nicolas Regnault, Th. Jolicœur

We study the quantum Hall states that appear in the dilute limit of rotating ultracold fermionic gases when a single hyperfine species is present. We show that the $p$-wave scattering translates into a pure hard-core interaction in the lowest Landau level. The Laughlin wave function is then the exact ground state at filling fraction $\ensuremath{\nu}=1∕3$. We give estimates of some of the gaps of the incompressible liquids for $\ensuremath{\nu}=p∕(2p\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)$. We estimate the mass of the composite fermions at $\ensuremath{\nu}=1∕2$. The width of the quantum Hall plateaus is discussed by considering the equation of state of the system.

Collective spin density excitations of fractional quantum Hall states in dilute ultracold Bose atoms

Moumita Indra, Dwipesh Majumder

We have studied collective spin density excitations of fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in rotating Bose-Einstein condensation for the three filling fractions of first series of Jain's composite fermion sequences. We have considered, short-ranged contact interactions between the Bose atoms as well as long range Coulomb interactions to compare the nature of the spectras with FQHE of electrons. Using Monte Carlo method for finite but large number of particles, the lowest order collective modes of spin-reversed sectors is calculated here, by computing the energy differences of the respective excitons from the fully polarized ground states.

Double roton-minima in bosonic fractional quantum Hall states

Moumita Indra, Deepak Jain, Sandip Mondal

Abstract We have studied the collective spin-conserving collective excitation spectra in rotating diluted ultra-cold Bose atoms. Double roton-minima have been observed in the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states for the two filling fractions (ν) of the first series of Jain's composite fermion sequences. The obtained roton-minima for ν = 1/4 are at the wave-vectors 1.26 and 2.38 and the roton-minima for ν = 1/6 have been shifted to 1.08 and 2.06. Such shift of roton-minima is attributed due to strong correlation between the particles in bosonic FQH-system. Moreover, the number of roton minima observed depends upon number of attached fluxes as well as the ranges of interaction between the particles.
