Spontaneous symmetry breaking in photonic lattices: Theory and experiment
We examine an example of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a double-well waveguide with a symmetric potential. The ground state of the system beyond a critical power becomes asymmetric. The effect is illustrated numerically, and quantitatively analyzed via a Galerkin truncation that clearly shows the bifurcation from a symmetric to an asymmetric steady state. This phenomenon is also demonstrated...
متن کاملConfinement and chiral symmetry breaking in heavy-light quark systems
Assuming a Gaussian approximation for the QCD gluodynamics, all the nonperturbative physics can be encoded into two parameters: the gluon correlation length Tg and the gluon condensate G2. These parameters are sufficient in order to describe the heavy-heavy quark nonperturbative interaction. In this work we adopt the same framework in order to study heavy-light bound states in the non-recoil li...
متن کاملRecurrence and azimuthal-symmetry breaking of a cylindrical Gaussian beam in a saturable self-focusing medium.
In this paper we investigate the self-focusing of a Gaussian beam in a saturable nonlinear medium. We show that the dynamics of the incident Gaussian beam become progressively more complicated as the ratio of the Gaussian spot size to that of the ground-state solution is increased for a fixed energy flux. As this ratio is increased (or decreased) from unity, recurrence of the field is observed ...
متن کاملVortices and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Rotating Bose Gases
We present a rigorous proof of the appearance of quantized vortices in dilute trapped Bose gases with repulsive two-body interactions subject to rotation, which was obtained recently in joint work with Elliott Lieb [1]. Starting from the many-body Schrödinger equation, we show that the ground state of such gases is, in a suitable limit, well described by the nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equation....
متن کاملCharacteristic features of symmetry breaking in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.
We examine the stability properties of the ground state of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates as a function of the interspecies interactions. A stability criterion is identified from the curvature matrix of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional subject to the normalization conditions. By analyzing the stability signature, the characteristic features of the spontaneous spatial symmetry bre...
