چکیده
The collective excitation of hybrid atomic-molecular condensate are studied using variational method. The dipole response of the system is studied in detail. We found that the out-of-phase dipole oscillation frequency increasing slowly with the detuning parameter and is only few times large than the trap frequency making the experimental observation of this mode of vibration feasible.

We present the theory of damping of low-energy excitations of a trapped Bose condensate at finite temperatures, where the damping is provided by the interaction of these excitations with the thermal excitations. We emphasize the key role of stochastization in the behavior of the thermal excitations for damping in non-spherical traps. The damping rates of the lowest excita-tions, following from ...
متن کاملCollective excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate by modulation of the atomic scattering length
We excite the lowest-lying quadrupole mode of a Bose-Einstein condensate by modulating the atomic scattering length via a Feshbach resonance. Excitation occurs at various modulation frequencies, and resonances located at the natural quadrupole frequency of the condensate and at the first harmonic are observed. We also investigate the amplitude of the excited mode as a function of modulation dep...
متن کاملSimultaneous Precision Gravimetry and Magnetic Gradiometry with a Bose-Einstein Condensate: A High Precision, Quantum Sensor.
A Bose-Einstein condensate is used as an atomic source for a high precision sensor. A 5×10^{6} atom F=1 spinor condensate of ^{87}Rb is released into free fall for up to 750 ms and probed with a T=130 ms Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer based on Bragg transitions. The Bragg interferometer simultaneously addresses the three magnetic states |m_{f}=1,0,-1⟩, facilitating a simultaneous measuremen...
متن کاملSemiclassical Corrections to the Oscillation Frequencies of a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate
The oscillation frequencies of collective excitations of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, when calculated in the mean-field approximation and in the Thomas-Fermi limit, are independent of the scattering length a. We calculate the leading corrections to the frequencies from quantum fluctuations around the mean field. The semiclassical correction is proportional to N1/5a6/5, where N is the num...
متن کاملStability of atomic–molecular coherent states of hybrid Bose–Einstein condensates
We study the stability of coherent atomic–molecular states of hybrid Bose–Einstein condensates in the framework of the parametrically coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations with a weak ‘short-correlated’ noise, also taking into account the self-interaction effects described by the cubic nonlinearity. We show that the stationary states of the hybrid atomic–molecular condensates are much more robust ...
