Nematic order by disorder in spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates.

چکیده
We show that quantum and thermal fluctuations in spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates lift the accidental degeneracy of the mean-field phase diagram. Fluctuations select the uniaxial (square biaxial) nematic state for scattering lengths a4>a2 (a4<a2). Paradoxically, the order is stronger at higher temperatures. For spin-2 87Rb and 23Na, a continuous Ising-type transition is predicted on raising the magnetic field, from a fluctuation stabilized uniaxial state to a field stabilized square biaxial order state. This is a promising experimental system to realize the "order-by-disorder" phenomenon.

Disorder-induced order in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.
We propose and analyze a general mechanism of disorder-induced order in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, analogous to corresponding effects established for XY spin models. We show that a random Raman coupling induces a relative phase of pi/2 between the two BECs and that the effect is robust. We demonstrate it in one, two, and three dimensions at T=0 and present evidence that it persist...
متن کاملSpinor bosonic atoms in optical lattices: symmetry breaking and fractionalization.
We study superfluid and Mott insulator phases of cold spin-1 Bose atoms with antiferromagnetic interactions in an optical lattice, including a usual polar condensate phase, a condensate of singlet pairs, a crystal spin nematic phase, and a spin singlet crystal phase. We suggest a possibility of exotic fractionalized phases of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates and discuss them in the language of ...
متن کاملLocal Spin-Gauge Symmetry of the Bose-Einstein Condensates in Atomic Gases.
The Bose-Einstein condensates of alkali atomic gases are spinor fields with local “spin-gauge” symmetry. This symmetry is manifested by a superfluid velocity us (or gauge field) generated by the Berry phase of the spin field. In “static” traps, us splits the degeneracy of the harmonic energy levels, breaks the inversion symmetry of the vortex nucleation frequency Ωc1, and can lead to vortex gro...
متن کاملEinstein-de Haas effect in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates.
The general properties of the order parameter for a dipolar spinor Bose-Einstein condensate are discussed based on symmetries of interactions. An initially spin-polarized dipolar condensate is shown to dynamically generate a nonsingular vortex via spin-orbit interactions--a phenomenon reminiscent of the Einstein-de Haas effect in ferromagnets.
متن کاملSpin squeezing in a bimodal condensate: spatial dynamics and particle losses
We propose an analytical method to study the entangled spatial and spin dynamics of interacting bimodal Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that at particular times during the evolution spatial and spin dynamics disentangle and the spin squeezing can be predicted by a simple two-mode model. We calculate the maximum spin squeezing achievable in experimentally relevant situations with Sodium or Ru...
