Spin-orbit coupled spinor Bose-Einstein condensates.
An effective spin-orbit coupling can be generated in a cold atom system by engineering atom-light interactions. In this Letter we study spin-1/2 and spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, and find that the condensate wave function will develop nontrivial structures. From numerical simulation we have identified two different phases. In one phase the ground state is a s...
متن کاملExotic superfluidity in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
We study the superfluidity of a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by computing its Bogoliubov excitations, which are found to have two branches: one is gapless and phonon-like at long wavelength; the other is typically gapped. These excitations imply superfluidity that has two new features: i) due to the absence of the Galilean invariance, one can no longer define the critical v...
متن کاملMean-field dynamics of spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates.
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the interaction between the spin and momentum of a quantum particle, is crucial for many important condensed matter phenomena. The recent experimental realization of SOC in neutral bosonic cold atoms provides a new and ideal platform for investigating spin-orbit coupled quantum many-body physics. In this Letter, we derive a generic Gross-Pitaevskii equation as the sta...
متن کاملVortex structures of rotating spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
We consider the quasi-two-dimensional two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling in a rotating trap. The rotation angular velocity couples to the mechanical angular momentum, which contains a noncanonical part arising from SO coupling. The effects of an external Zeeman term favoring spin polarization along the radial direction is also considered, which has the ...
متن کاملModulational Instability in Bose-Einstein Condensates under Feshbach Resonance Management
We investigate the modulational instability of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodic variation of their coefficients. In particular, we focus on the case of the recently proposed, experimentally realizable protocol of Feshbach Resonance Management for Bose-Einstein condensates. We derive the corresponding linear stability equation analytically and we show that it can be reduced to a Kro...
