Mean-field description of collapsing and exploding Bose-Einstein condensates
We perform numerical simulations based on the time-dependent mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation to understand some aspects of a recent experiment by Donley et al. @Nature ~London! 412, 295 ~2001!# on the dynamics of collapsing and exploding Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb atoms. These authors manipulated the atomic interaction by an external magnetic field via a Feshbach resonance, thus chang...
متن کاملDissipationless flow and superfluidity in gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates
Superfluid flow is a manifestation of quantum mechanics at the macroscopic level. Phenomena like dissipationless flow and persistent currents can be traced back to the existence of a macroscopic wavefunction. The gradient of its phase gives the superfluid velocity. However, superfluid flow is only stable below a critical velocity. Above this velocity, excitations of the fluid can be generated, ...
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 کاملZero-Temperature, Mean-Field Theory of Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensates
We review the application of zero-temperature, mean-field theory to current experimental atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. We assess the validity of the approximations made by comparing the mean-field results with a variety of experimental data.
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...
