Comment on "Collective Excitations of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Magnetic Trap"

Abstract

We calculate the damping rate of collective excitations for a nearly pure Bose-Einstein condensate regarding the recent experiments in MIT [M.-O. Mews et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 988 (1996)]. The decay time of collective excitations obtained in our theoretical calculations agrees well with their experimental result. We argue that the damping of collective excitations is due to thermal contributions rather than interactions between collective modes.

Theoretical Study of the Damping of Collective Excitations in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

W. Vincent Liu

We study the damping of low-lying collective excitations of condensates in a weakly interacting Bose gas model within the framework of an imaginary time path integral. A general expression of the damping rate has been obtained for both the very low temperature regime and the higher temperature regime. For the latter, the result is new and applicable to recent experiments. Theoretical predictions for the damping rate are compared with the experimental values.

Analytical calculations on Landau damping of collective modes in anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates

Xiaodong Ma, Yong-li Ma, Guoxiang Huang

We develop an analytical approach for calculating the Landau damping of collective modes in the Bose-Einstein condensate trapped by an anisotropic harmonic potential. Based on a variational ground-state wave function obtained by solving the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation beyond Thomas-Fermi approximation, we solve the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations describing thermal excited quasiparticles and provide divergence-free analytical solutions for the Bogoliubov amplitudes and coupling matrix elements that characterize the interaction between the collective modes and the quasiparticles. With these analytical results we evaluate the Landau damping rates of several collective modes for various anisotropic parameters of the trapping potential in terms of the formulas derived from a time-dependent mean-field theory. In addition, we discuss the dependence of the damping rates on temperature, particle number, trapping frequency, and anisotropic parameter of the system, and compare our theoretical results with experimental and numerical data reported in literature.

Landau damping of collective mode in a quasi-two-dimensional repulsive Bose—Einstein condensate

Xiaodong Ma, Zhan-Jin Yang, Junzhe Lu +1 more

We investigate the Landau damping of the collective mode in a quasi-two-dimension repulsive Bose—Einstein condensate by using the self-consistent time-dependent Hatree—Fock—Bogoliubov approximation and a complete and orthogonal eigenfunction set for the elementary excitation of the system. We calculate the three-mode coupling matrix element between the collective mode and the thermal excited quasi-particles and the Landau damping rate of the collective mode. We discuss the dependence of the Landau damping on temperature, on atom number in the condensate, on transverse trapping frequency and on the length of the condensate. The energy width of the collective mode is taken into account in our calculation. With little approximation, our theoretic calculation results agree well with the experimental ones and are helpful for deducing the damping mechanics and the inter-particle interaction.

Landau Damping of Collective Mode in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Repulsive Bose—Einstein Condensate

Zhan-Jin Yang, Zhao-Liang Chai, Chenxu Li +1 more

We investigate the Landau damping of the collective mode in a quasi-one-dimensional repulsive Bose—Einstein condensate by using the self-consistent time-dependent Hartree—Fock—Bogoliubov approximation. We put forward a new method to calculate the Landau damping rate of the collective mode in the condensate and discuss the dependence of the Landau damping on temperature, on transverse trapping frequency, on atom number in the condensate, and on length of the system. Different from the usual calculation method for the three dimension system, our new calculation method is an interactive one by considering the practical relaxation of the elementary excitation. With little approximation, our theoretical calculation results agree with the experimental ones. Comparing with the usual calculation method, our theory is helpful to deduce the inter-particle interactions in damping phenomenon.

Landau damping of transverse quadrupole oscillations of an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate

M. Guilleumas, Лев П. Питаевский

We have studied the interaction between the low-lying transverse collective oscillations and the thermal excitations of an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate by means of perturbation theory. We consider a cylindrical trapped condensate and calculate the transverse elementary excitations at zero temperature by solving the linearized Gross-Pitaevskii equations in two dimensions (2D). We use them to calculate the matrix elements between the thermal excited states and the quasi-2D collective modes. The Landau damping of transverse collective modes is studied as a function of temperature. At low temperatures, the corresponding damping rate is in agreement with the experimental data for the decay of the transverse quadrupole mode, but it is too small to explain the observed slow decay of the transverse breathing mode. The reason for this discrepancy is discussed.
