Vortex Lattices in Rotating Atomic Bose Gases with Dipolar Interactions

Abstract

We show that dipolar interactions have dramatic effects on the ground states of rotating atomic Bose gases in the weak-interaction limit. With increasing dipolar interaction (relative to the net contact interaction), the mean field, or high filling factor, ground state undergoes a series of transitions between vortex lattices of different symmetries: triangular, square, "stripe," and "bubble" phases. We also study the effects of dipolar interactions on the quantum fluids at low filling factors. We show that the incompressible Laughlin state at filling factor nu = 1/2 is replaced by compressible stripe and bubble phases.

Vortex lattices in Bose-Einstein condensates with dipolar interactions beyond the weak-interaction limit

Stavros Komineas, Nigel R. Cooper

We study the ground states of rotating atomic Bose-Einstein condensates with dipolar interactions. We present the results of numerical studies on a periodic geometry which show vortex lattice ground states of various symmetries: triangular and square vortex lattices, ``stripe crystal,'' and ``bubble crystal.'' We present the phase diagram (for systems with a large number of vortices) as a function of the ratio of dipolar to contact interactions and of the chemical potential. We discuss the experimental requirements for observing transitions between vortex lattice ground states via dipolar interactions. We finally investigate the stability of mean-field supersolid phases of a quasi-two-dimensional nonrotating Bose gas with dipolar interactions.

Incompressible liquid, stripes, and bubbles in rapidly rotating Bose atoms at ν=1

Hidetsugu Seki, Kazusumi Ino

We numerically study the system of rapidly rotating Bose atoms at the filling factor (ratio of particle number to vortex number) $\ensuremath{\nu}=1$ with the dipolar interaction. A moderate dipolar interaction stabilizes the incompressible quantum liquid at $\ensuremath{\nu}=1$. Further addition induces a collapse of it. We show evidence that states after the collapse are compressible states which have phases with stripes and bubbles. Low-energy spectra are consistently interpreted by the presence of particle-hole excitations in which a Bose atom hops between stripes or bubbles. We also investigate models constructed from truncated interactions and the models with the three-body contact interaction. They also have phases with stripes and bubbles.

Exotic vortex lattices in a rotating binary dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

Xiao-Fei Zhang, Lin Wen, Cai-Qing Dai +4 more

In the last decade, considerable advances have been made in the investigation of dipolar quantum gases. Previous theoretical investigations of a rotating binary dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate, where only one component possesses dipole moment, were mainly focused on two special orientations of the dipoles: perpendicular or parallel to the plane of motion. Here we study the ground-state and rotational properties of such a system for an arbitrary orientation of the dipoles. We demonstrate the ground-state vortex structures depend strongly on the relative strength between dipolar and contact interactions and the rotation frequency, as well as on the orientation of the dipoles. In the absence of rotation, the tunable dipolar interaction can be used to induce the squeezing or expansion of the cloud, and to derive the phase transition between phase coexistence and separation. Under finite rotation, the system is found to exhibit exotic ground-state vortex configurations, such as kernel-shell, vortex necklace, and compensating stripe vortex structures. We also check the validity of the Feynman relation, and find no significant deviations from it. The obtained results open up alternate ways for the quantum control of dipolar quantum gases.

Vortex Lattices in Planar Bose-Einstein Condensates with Dipolar Interactions

Jian Zhang, Hui Zhai

In this Letter, we investigate the effects of dipole-dipole interactions on the vortex lattices in fast rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. For single planar condensate, we show that the triangular lattice structure will be unfavorable when the s-wave interaction is attractive and exceeds a critical value. It will first change to a square lattice, and then become more and more flat with the increase of s-wave attraction, until the collapse of the condensate. For an array of coupled planar condensates, we discuss how the dipole-dipole interactions between neighboring condensates compete with quantum tunneling processes, which affects the relative displacement of two neighboring vortex lattices and leads to the loss of phase coherence between different condensates.

Competing compressible and incompressible phases in rotating atomic Bose gases at filling factor ν=2

Nigel R. Cooper, Edward H. Rezayi

We study the groundstates of weakly interacting atomic Bose gases under conditions of rapid rotation. We present the results of large-scale exact diagonalization studies on a periodic geometry (a torus) which allows studies of compressible states with broken translational symmetry. Focusing on filling factor $\ensuremath{\nu}=2$, we show a competition between the triangular vortex lattice, a quantum smectic state, and the incompressible $k=4$ Read-Rezayi state. We discuss the corrections arising from finite size effects, and the likely behavior for large system sizes. The Read-Rezayi state is stabilized by a moderate amount of additional dipolar interactions.

Vortex competition in a rotating two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

Yang Zhao, Jin An, Chang-De Gong

We study a harmonically trapped highly oblate two-component Bose-Einstein condensate, which consists of both dipolar and scalar bosonic atoms. When the dipoles are polarized along the symmetry axis of the trap, the dipolar atoms' density exhibits a flat-disk regime at the trap center. It is found that the dipolar component is easier to induce the first vortex when the trap is rotating about the symmetry axis, if the long-range dipolar interactions dominate over the contact interactions, and vice versa. Vortex lattices with the compensating triangular, square, and stripe structures can be formed respectively under rapid rotation. When the dipoles are polarized perpendicular to the rotation axis, the two components are generically phase separated into a kernel-shell structure due to the anisotropic dipole-dipole interactions. While the giant-hole states are induced under slow rotation, the compensating stripe vortex structures are stabilized under fast rotation. In particular, a stripe-splitting structure is found to be competing with the stripe ones. These features are expected to be observed in the mixture of ${}^{52}\mathrm{Cr}$ atoms in the two different spin states.
