Abstract

We measure the frequency of the low $m=0$ quadrupolar excitation mode of weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates in the transition region from the three-dimensional (3D) to the 1D mean-field regime. Various effects shifting the frequency of the mode are discussed. In particular we take the dynamic coupling of the condensate with the thermal component at finite temperature into account using a time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov treatment developed by Giorgini [Phys. Rev. A, 61, 063615 (2000)]. We show that the frequency rises in the transition from 3D to 1D, in good agreement with the theoretical prediction of Menotti and Stringari [Phys. Rev. A 66, 043610 (2002)].

Collective excitations of a dilute Bose gas at finite temperature: time dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov theory

Abdelâali Boudjemâa, Nadia Guebli

Abstract Using the time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov approach, where the condensate is coupled with the thermal cloud and the anomalous density, we study the equilibrium and the dynamical properties of three-dimensional quantum-degenerate Bose gas at finite temperature. Effects of the anomalous correlations on the condensed fraction and the critical temperature are discussed. In uniform Bose gas, useful expressions for the Bogoliubov excitations spectrum, the first and second sound, the condensate depletion and the superfluid fraction are derived. Our results are tested by comparing the findings computed by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We present also a systematic investigation of the collective modes of a Bose condensate confined in an external trap. Our predictions are in qualitative agreement with previous experimental and theoretical results. We show in particular that our theory is capable of explaining the so-called anomalous behavior of the m = 0 mode.

Collective modes of a one-dimensional trapped Bose gas in the presence of the anomalous density

Abdelâali Boudjemâa

We study the collective modes of a one-dimensional harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of the anomalous density using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. Within the hydrodynamic equations, we derive analytical expressions for the mode frequencies and the density fluctuations of the anomalous density which constitutes the minority component at very low temperature and feels an effective external potential exerted by the majority component, i.e., the condensate. On the other hand, we numerically examine the temperature dependence of the breathing mode oscillations of the condensate at finite temperature in the weak-coupling regime. At zero temperature, we compare our predictions with available experimental data, theoretical treatments, and Monte carlo simulations in all interaction regimes and the remaining hindrances are emphasized. We show that the anomalous correlations have a non-negligible role on the collective modes at both zero and finite temperatures.

Excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates at finite temperatures

Martin Rusch, Rusch, Martin

Recent experimental observations of collective excitations of Bose condensed atomic vapours have stimulated interest in the microscopic description of the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an external potential. We present a finite temperature field theory for collective excitations of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates and use a finite-temperature linear response formalism, which goes beyond the simple mean-field approximation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The effect of the non-condensed thermal atoms we include using perturbation theory in a quasiparticle basis. This presents a simple scheme to understand the interaction between condensate and non-condensed atoms and enables us to include the effect the condensate has on collision dynamics. At first we limit our treatment to the case of a spatially homogeneous Bose gas. We include the effect of pair and triplet anomalous averages and thus obtain a gapless theory for the excitations of a weakly interacting system, which we can link to well known results for Landau and Beliaev damping rates. A gapless theory for trapped systems with a static thermal component follows straightforwardly. We then investigate finite temperature excitations of a condensate in a spherically symmetric harmonic trap. We avoid approximations to the density of states and thus emphasise finite size aspects of the problem. We show that excitations couple strongly to a restricted number of modes, giving rise to resonance structure in their frequency spectra. Where possible we derive energy shifts and lifetimes of excitations. For one particular mode, the breathing mode, the effects of the discreteness of the system are sufficiently pronounced that the simple picture of an energy shift and width fails. Experiments in spherical traps have recently become feasible and should be able to test our detailed quantitative predictions.

Collective modes of a one-dimensional trapped Bose gas in the presence of the pairing state

Abdelâali Boudjemâa

We study the collective modes and density fluctuations of a one-dimensional (1D) harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the presence of the pairing state using the time-dependent-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (TDHFB) theory within the hydrodynamic equations. We derive analytical expressions for the mode frequencies and the density fluctuations of the pairing state which constitutes the minority component at low temperature and feels an effective external potential exerted by the majority component i.e. the condensate. Our predictions on the breathing mode oscillations of the condensate are in good agreement with the data of recent experiments and Monte carlo simulations.

Collective Excitations of a Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensate

G. Bismut, Benjamin Pasquiou, É. Maréchal +4 more

We have measured the effect of dipole-dipole interactions on the frequency of a collective mode of a Bose-Einstein condensate. At relatively large numbers of atoms, the experimental measurements are in good agreement with zero temperature theoretical predictions based on the Thomas-Fermi approach. Experimental results obtained for the dipolar shift of a collective mode show a larger dependency to both the trap geometry and the atom number than the ones obtained when measuring the modification of the condensate aspect ratio due to dipolar forces. These findings are in good agreement with simulations based on a Gaussian ansatz.

Phase fluctuations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in low-dimensional geometry

Demascoth Kadio, Mariusz Gajda, Kazimierz Rza̧żewski

We investigate the phase fluctuations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in one- (1D) and three-dimensional (3D) elongated harmonic traps with the help of the numerical simulation using classical field approximation. By calculating the eigenvalues of the one-dimensional single-particle density matrix we show that the phase fluctuations of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a 1D system are due to the thermal low-energy excitations. We find that the phase fluctuations depend on the temperature as has been predicted [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 3745 (2000), Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 050404 (2001)]. Finally we show that the phase coherence length of a condensate in a harmonic trap depends on the aspect ratio of anisotropy (geometry) of the trap. We determine the border between the 3D and quasi-one-dimensional systems by calculating the phase coherence length of the condensate.
