Collision Dynamics of Two Bose-Einstein Condensates in the Presence of Raman Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
A collision of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of Raman coupling is proposed and studied by numerical simulations. Raman transitions are found to be able to reduce collision-produced irregular excitations by forming a time-averaged attractive optical potential. Raman transitions also support a kind of dark soliton pairs in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. Soliton pairs and their remnant single solitons are shown to be controllable by adjusting the initial relative phase between the two colliding condensates or the two-photon detuning of Raman transitions.

Vortices in atomic-molecular Bose–Einstein condensates
The structure and stability of vortices in hybrid atomic-molecular Bose–Einstein condensates is analysed in the framework of a two-component Gross–Pitaevskii-type model that describes the stimulated Raman-induced photoassociation process. New types of topological vortex states are predicted to exist in the coherently coupled two-component condensates even without a trap, and their nontrivial dy...
متن کاملGround States and Dynamics of Spin-Orbit-Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensates
We study analytically and asymptotically as well as numerically ground states and dynamics of two-component spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) modeled by the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations (CGPEs). In fact, due to the appearance of the spin-orbit (SO) coupling in the two-component BEC with a Raman coupling, the ground state structures and dynamical properties become very ri...
متن کاملDynamics of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates probed by Bragg scattering
Gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have become an important test bed for studying the dynamics of quantized vortices. In this work we use two-photon Doppler sensitive Bragg scattering to study the rotation of sodium BECs. We analyze the microscopic flow field and present laboratory measurements of the coarse-grained velocity profile. Unlike time-of-flight imaging, Bragg scattering is sens...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno subspace and entangled Bose-Einstein condensates.
We discuss a proposal for the efficient generation of the maximally entangled atomic N-GHZ state in a spinor-1 condensate by driving internal state atomic Raman transitions using (classical) laser fields. We illustrate the dynamics in terms of a quantum Zeno subspace and identify the resultant atomic elastic collision in facilitating the deterministic entanglement creation. Our proposal can be ...
متن کاملPhase Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates: Losses versus Revivals
In the absence of losses the phase of a Bose-Einstein condensate undergoes collapses and revivals in time due to elastic atomic interactions. As experiments necessarily involve inelastic collisions, we develop a model to describe the phase dynamics of the condensates in presence of collisional losses. We find that a few inelastic processes are sufficient to damp the revivals of the phase. For t...
