Non-Abelian Josephson effect in spinor Bose- Einstein condensates

چکیده
We investigate the non-Abelian Josephson effect in F=2 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with double optical traps. We propose a real physical system which incorporates the non-Abelian Josephson effect and has very different density and spin tunneling characteristics compared with the Abelian case. We calculate the frequencies of the pseudo Goldstone modes in different phases between two traps, which are the crucial feature of the non-Abelian Josephson effect. We also give an experimental protocol to observe this novel effect in future experiments.

Non-Abelian Josephson effect and half vortex of cold atoms in traps and microcavities
We investigate the non-Abelian Josephson effect in F=2 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with double optical traps. We propose a real physical system which contains non-Abelian Josephson effect and has very different density and spin tunneling characters compared with the Abelian case. We calculate the frequencies of the pseudo Goldstone modes in different phases between two traps respectively, ...
متن کاملMany-body quantum physics of Josephson coupled Bose condensates
Atomic Bose-Einstein condensates are intrinsic many-body quantum systems. Many-body quantum effects become significant in low-dimensional systems and systems with strict symmetry constraints, degeneracy, or strong interaction. Examples include low-dimensional quantum gases, spinor condensates, rapidly rotating systems, strongly interacting systems, and condensed atoms loaded into deep multi-wel...
متن کاملMathematical models and numerical methods for spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
In this paper, we systematically review mathematical models, theories and numerical methods for ground states and dynamics of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) based on the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations (GPEs). We start with a pseudo spin-1/2 BEC system with/without an internal atomic Josephson junction and spin-orbit coupling including (i) existence and uniqueness as well as non-exi...
متن کاملSolitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
متن کاملSpin-3 chromium Bose-Einstein condensates.
We analyze the physics of spin-3 Bose-Einstein condensates, and, in particular, the new physics expected in ongoing experiments with condensates of chromium atoms. We first discuss the ground-state properties, which, depending on still unknown chromium parameters, and for low magnetic fields, can present various types of phases. We also discuss the spinor dynamics in chromium spinor condensates...
