Cavity-mediated strong matter wave bistability in a spin-1 condensate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study matter-wave bistability in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate dispersively coupled to a unidirectional ring cavity. A unique feature is that the population exchange among different modes of matter fields is accomplished via spin-exchange collisions. We show that the interplay between the atomic spin mixing and the cavity light field can lead to a strong matter-wave nonlinearity, making matter-wave bistability in a cavity at the single-photon level achievable.

The Physics of Coupled Atomic - Molecular Condensate System Report
The primary purpose of this proposal is to explore the physics of multi-component condensates containing both atomic and molecular species. The adiabatic condition, which sets the limit to the powers and the widths of the laser pulses for an efficient STIRAP, is studied in connection with the collective excitation modes of the CPT state. The resonant Fermi model in which atoms of two opposite s...
متن کاملControllable vacuum-induced diffraction of matter-wave superradiance using an all-optical dispersive cavity
Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) has played a central role in demonstrating the fundamental principles of the quantum world, and in particular those of atom-light interactions. Developing fast, dynamical and non-mechanical control over a CQED system is particularly desirable for controlling atomic dynamics and building future quantum networks at high speed. However conventional mirrors do ...
متن کاملSupermode-density-wave-polariton condensation with a Bose–Einstein condensate in a multimode cavity
Phase transitions, where observable properties of a many-body system change discontinuously, can occur in both open and closed systems. By placing cold atoms in optical cavities and inducing strong coupling between light and excitations of the atoms, one can experimentally study phase transitions of open quantum systems. Here we observe and study a non-equilibrium phase transition, the condensa...

Influence of the damping on collective oscillations of a one-dimensional trapped Bose gas in the mean field regime has been studied. Using the phenomenological damping approach developed by L.P. Pitaevskii, modified variational equations for the parameters of the condensate wave function is derived. Analytical expressions for the condensate parameters in equilibrium state have been obtained. Bi...
متن کاملTunable Bistability in Hybrid Bose-Einstein Condensate Optomechanics
Cavity-optomechanics, a rapidly developing area of research, has made a remarkable progress. A stunning manifestation of optomechanical phenomena is in exploiting the mechanical effects of light to couple the optical degree of freedom with mechanical degree of freedom. In this report, we investigate the controlled bistable dynamics of such hybrid optomechanical system composed of cigar-shaped B...
