Vortex Lattice Structures of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Rotating Lattice Potential

چکیده
We study vortex lattice structures of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in a rotating lattice potential by numerically solving the time-dependent GrossPitaevskii equation. By rotating the lattice potential, we observe the transition from the Abrikosov vortex lattice to the pinned lattice. We investigate the transition of the vortex lattice structure by changing conditions such as angular velocity, intensity, and lattice constant of the rotating lattice potential.

Efficiently computing vortex lattices in fast rotating Bose-Einstein condensates
We propose an efficient and spectrally accurate numerical method for computing vortex lattice structures in fast rotating Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with strongly repulsive interactions. The key ingredients of the method is to discretize the normalized gradient flow under rotational frame by Fourier spectral method in space and by backward Euler method in time. Different vortex lattice st...
متن کاملNonclassical scissors mode of a vortex lattice in a Bose-Einstein condensate
We show that a Bose-Einstein condensate with a vortex lattice in a rotating anisotropic harmonic potential exhibits a very low frequency scissors mode. The appearance of this mode is due to the SO 2 symmetry breaking introduced by the vortex lattice. The corresponding Goldstone mode in an isotropic trap becomes, in an anisotropic trap, a scissors mode, whose frequency is finite and tends to zer...

We study the dynamics of vortex lattice formation of a rotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by numerically solving the two-dimensional GrossPitaevskii equation, and find that the condensate undergoes elliptic deformation, followed by unstable surface-mode excitations before forming a quantized vortex lattice. The dependence of the number of vortices on the rotation frequency is obtained. P...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation from a rotating thermal cloud: Vortex nucleation and lattice formation
We develop a stochastic Gross-Pitaveskii theory suitable for the study of Bose-Einstein condensation in a rotating dilute Bose gas. The theory is used to model the dynamical and equilibrium properties of a rapidly rotating Bose gas quenched through the critical point for condensation, as in the experiment of Haljan et al. #Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 210403 !2001"$. In contrast to stirring a vortex-fr...

(Dated: April 14, 2008) We study the dynamics of vortex lattice formation of a rotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by numerically solving the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and find that the condensate undergoes elliptic deformation, followed by unstable surface-mode excitations before forming a quantized vortex lattice. The origin of the peculiar surface-mode excitations is i...
