Vortex phase diagram in trapped Bose-Einstein condensation

Bose-Einstein condensation in trapped atomic gases.

Vortex phase diagram in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.

We investigate the structure of vortex states in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with equal intracomponent but varying intercomponent-coupling constants. A phase diagram in the intercomponent-coupling versus rotation-frequency plane reveals rich equilibrium structures of vortex states. As the ratio of intercomponent to intracomponent couplings increases, the interlocked vortex ...

Vortex motion in trapped Bose–Einstein condensate

We have studied the motion of a vortex-antivortex pair together with a single vortex in trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by numerically solving the twodimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and found that the path of the vortices depends on the initial separation distance and dissipation. This motion was periodic and it was found that sound waves appear due to the cyclical movement, whose...

Multi-step Bose-Einstein Condensation of Trapped Ideal Bose Gases

The Phenomenon of multi-step Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a finite number of non-interacting bosons in anisotropic traps has been demonstrated by studing the populations on eight subsets of states. The cusp in the specific heat is found to be associated with the crossover between subsets of states involving Bose functions gn(z) of different classes, as specified by their behaviour at z =...

Topologically trapped vortex molecules in Bose-Einstein condensates

In a numerical experiment based on Gross-Pitaevskii formalism, we demonstrate unique topological quantum coherence in optically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Exploring the fact that vortices in rotating BEC can be pinned by a geometric arrangement of laser beams, we show the parameter range in which vortex-antivortex molecules or multiquantum vortices are formed as a consequence of ...
