Bosons in a Toroidal Trap: Ground State and Vortices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a 3-D toroidal Mexican hat trap. By changing the parameters of the potential, or the number of bosons, it is possible to modify strongly the density profile of the BEC. We consider the ground state properties for positive and negative scattering length and calculate the spectrum elementary excitations. We also discuss the macroscopic phase coherence and superfluidity of the BEC by analyzing vortex states and their stability. 03.75.Fi, 05.30.Jp, 32.80.Pj Typeset using REVTEX 1

Spinor Bose Condensates in Optical Traps
In an optical trap, the ground state of spin-1 Bosons such as 23Na, 39K, and 87Rb can be either a ferromagnetic or a “polar” state, depending on the scattering lengths in different angular momentum channel. The collective modes of these states have very different spin character and spatial distributions. While ordinary vortices are stable in the polar state, only those with unit circulation are...
متن کاملتراکم بوز اینشتین گازها در یک پتانسیل نوسانگر هماهنگ
One of the most interesting properties of boson gases is that under special conditions, there is a possibility of a phase transition, in a critical temperature below which all bosons condensate into the ground state. This phenomenon is called Bose – Einstein Condensation (BEC). In this paper, we investigate BEC in a harmonic oscillator trap. We conclude that, in contrast to a free boson ga...

The ground state properties of interacting Bose gases in external potentials, as considered in recent experiments, are usually described by means of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional. We present here the rst proof of the asymptotic exactness of this approximation for the ground state energy and particle density of a dilute Bose gas with a positive interaction.
متن کاملGenerating ring currents , solitons , and svortices by stirring a Bose - Einstein condensate in a toroidal trap
We propose a simple stirring experiment to generate quantized ring currents and solitary excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates in a toroidal trap geometry. Simulations of the 3D Gross-Pitaevskii equation show that pure ring current states can be generated efficiently by adiabatic manipulation of the condensate, which can be realized on experimental time scales. This is illustrated by simulat...
