Vortex pump for dilute bose-einstein condensates.

چکیده
The formation of vortices by topological phase engineering has been realized experimentally to create the first two- and four-quantum vortices in dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. We consider a similar system, but in addition to the Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic trap we employ an additional hexapole field. By controlling cyclically the strengths of these magnetic fields, we show that a fixed amount of vorticity can be added to the condensate in each cycle. In an adiabatic operation of this vortex pump, the appearance of vortices into the condensate is interpreted as the accumulation of a local Berry phase. Our design can be used as an experimentally realizable vortex source for possible vortex-based applications of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates.

Vortex shedding and drag in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates
Above a critical velocity, the dominant mechanism of energy transfer between a moving object and a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate is vortex formation. In this paper, we discuss the critical velocity for vortex formation and the link between vortex shedding and drag in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous condensates. We find that at supersonic velocities sound radiation also contributes signific...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence of Vortex Nucleation in Gaseous Bose-Einstein Condensates
The formation of quantized vortices in trapped, gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates is considered. The thermodynamic stability of vortex states and the essential role of the surface excitations as a route for vortex penetration into the condensate are discussed. Special focus is on finite-temperature effects of the vortex nucleation process. It is concluded that the critical angular frequencies f...

We compute using a microscopic mean-field theory the structure and the quasiparticle excitation spectrum of a dilute, trapped Bose–Einstein condensate penetrated by an axisymmetric vortex line. The Gross–Pitaevskii equation for the condensate and the coupled Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov–Popov equations describing the elementary excitations are solved self-consistently using finite-difference methods...
