Abstract

We examine the rotational properties of a mixture of two Bose gases. Considering the limit of weak interactions between the atoms, we investigate the behavior of the system under a fixed angular momentum. We demonstrate a number of exact results in this many-body system.

Mixtures of Bose Gases Confined in a Ring Potential

The rotational properties of a mixture of two distinguishable Bose gases that are confined in a ring potential provide novel physical effects that we demonstrate in this study. Persistent currents are shown to be stable for a range of the population imbalance between the two components at low angular momentum. At higher values of the angular momentum, even small admixtures of a second species of atoms make the persistent currents highly fragile.

Rotational properties of a mixture of two Bose gases

A rotating, two-component Bose–Einstein condensate is shown to exhibit vortices of multiple quantization, which are possible due to the interatomic interactions between the two species. Also, persistent currents are absent in this system. Finally, the order parameter has a very simple structure for a range of angular momenta.

Rotating quantum droplets confined in an anharmonic potential

We investigate the rotational properties of quantum droplets, which form in a mixture of two Bose-Einstein condensates, in the presence of an anharmonic trapping potential. We identify various phases as the atom number and the angular momentum or angular velocity of the trap vary. These phases include center-of-mass–like excitation (without or with vortices), vortices of single and multiple quantization, etc. Finally, we compare our results with those of the single-component problem.

Excitation spectrum of a two-component Bose–Einstein condensate in a ring potential

J Smyrnakis, M Magiropoulos, A D Jackson +1 more

A mixture of two distinguishable Bose–Einstein condensates confined in a ring potential has numerous interesting properties under rotational and solitary-wave excitation. The lowest energy states for a fixed angular momentum coincide with a family of solitary-wave solutions. In the limit of weak interactions, exact diagonalization of the many-body Hamiltonian is possible and permits evaluation of the complete excitation spectrum of the system.

Excitation spectrum of a mixture of two Bose gases confined in a ring potential with interaction asymmetry

We study the rotational properties of a two-component Bose–Einstein condensed gas of distinguishable atoms which are confined in a ring potential using both the mean-field approximation, as well as the method of diagonalization of the many-body Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the angular momentum may be given to the system either via single-particle, or 'collective' excitation. Furthermore, despite the complexity of this problem, under rather typical conditions the dispersion relation takes a remarkably simple and regular form. Finally, we argue that under certain conditions the dispersion relation is determined via collective excitation. The corresponding many-body state, which, in addition to the interaction energy minimizes also the kinetic energy, is dictated by elementary number theory.
