How Does a Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensate Collapse?
We emphasize that the macroscopic collapse of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in a pancake-shaped trap occurs through local density fluctuations, rather than through a global collapse to the trap center. This hypothesis is supported by a recent experiment in a chromium condensate. Based on an invited talk in Seminar 6, Physics of Cold Trapped Atoms, at the 17th International Laser Physics Wo...
متن کاملStability and Collapse Dynamics of Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates in One-Dimensional Optical Lattices
The subject of this thesis is the investigation of the stability and the collapse dynamics of a dipolar 52Cr Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice potential. In this work, it is experimentally shown that the stability of the dipolar BEC is strongly modified when increasing the modulation depth of the sinusoidal potential landscape: a cross-over from dipolar de...
متن کاملBogoliubov modes of a dipolar condensate in a cylindrical trap
The calculation of properties of Bose-Einstein condensates with dipolar interactions has proven a computationally intensive problem due to the long range nature of the interactions, limiting the scope of applications. In particular, the lowest lying Bogoliubov excitations in three-dimensional harmonic trap with cylindrical symmetry were so far computed in an indirect way, by Fourier analysis of...
متن کاملSymmetry-breaking thermally induced collapse of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
We investigate a Bose-Einstein condensate with additional long-range dipolar interaction in a cylindrically symmetric trap within a variational framework. Compared to the ground state of this system, little attention has as yet been payed to its unstable excited states. For thermal excitations, however, the latter is of great interest, because it forms the “activated complex” that mediates the ...
متن کاملDynamical instability of a rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate.
We analyze the hydrodynamic solutions for a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate with long-range dipolar interactions in a rotating, elliptical harmonic trap. The static solutions and their regimes of dynamical instability vary nontrivially with the strength of the dipolar interactions. We comprehensively map out this behavior, and, in particular, examine the experimental routes toward unstable dyna...
