Strong acoustic turbulence and the speed of Bose-Einstein condensation
نویسنده
چکیده
The final stage of Bose-Einstein condensation in a large volume occurs through coarsening—growth of individual correlated patches. We present analytical arguments and numerical evidence that in the momentum space this growth corresponds to strong turbulence of the particle number, with a turbulent cascade towards the infrared and the power law n(k) ∝ k−(d+1) in d = 2, 3 spatial dimensions. As a corollary, we find that the correlation length grows linearly in time, with the speed of order of the speed of Bogoliubov’s quasiparticles (phonons). We use these results to estimate the speed of BEC in atomic vapors and in galactic dark matter. hep-ph/0201163

Wave turbulence and vortices in Bose-Einstein condensation
We report a numerical study of turbulence and Bose-Einstein condensation within the two-dimmensional GrossPitaevski model with repulsive interaction. In presence of weak forcing localized around some wave number in the Fourier space, we observe three qualitatively different evolution stages. At the initial stage a thermodynamic energy equipartition spectrum forms at both smaller and larger scal...
متن کاملFreely decaying turbulence and Bose-Einstein condensation in Gross-Pitaevski model
We study turbulence and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) within the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevski (GP) model. In the present work, we compute decaying GP turbulence in order to establish whether BEC can occur without forcing and if there is an intensity threshold for this process. We use the wavenumberfrequency plots which allow us to clearly separate the condensate and the wave components an...
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 کاملSPECIAL FEATURE: PERSPECTIVE Vortices and turbulence in trapped atomic condensates
After more than a decade of experiments generating and studying the physics of quantized vortices in atomic gas Bose–Einstein condensates, research is beginning to focus on the roles of vortices in quantum turbulence, as well as other measures of quantum turbulence in atomic condensates. Such research directions have the potential to uncover new insights into quantum turbulence, vortices, and s...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation in self-consistent mean-field theory
There is a wide-spread belief in the literature on Bose-Einstein condensation of interacting atoms that all variants of mean-field theory incorrectly describe the condensation phase transition, exhibiting, instead of the necessary second-order transition, a first-order transition, even for weakly interacting Bose gas. In the present paper, it is shown that a self-consistent mean-field approach ...
