Normal-superfluid interaction dynamics in a spinor bose gas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coherent behavior of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates is studied in the presence of a significant uncondensed (normal) component. Normal-superfluid exchange scattering leads to near-perfect local alignment between the spin fields of the two components. We observe that, through this spin locking, spin-domain formation in the condensate is vastly accelerated as the spin populations in the condensate are entrained by large-amplitude spin waves in the normal component.

Vortex-lattice dynamics in rotating spinor Bose-Einstein condensates.
We observe interlaced square vortex lattices in rotating dilute-gas spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). After preparing a hexagonal vortex lattice in a one-component BEC in an internal atomic state |1, we coherently transfer a fraction of the superfluid to a different state |2. The subsequent evolution of this pseudo-spin-1/2 superfluid towards a state of offset square lattices involves an ...
متن کاملSuperfluid vs Ferromagnetic Behaviour in a Bose Gas of Spin-1/2 Atoms
We study the thermodynamic phases of a gas of spin-1/2 atoms in the Hartree-Fock approximation. Our main result is that, for repulsive or weakly-attractive inter-component interaction strength, the superfluid and ferromagnetic phase transitions occur at the same temperature. For strongly-attractive inter-component interaction strength, however, the ferromagnetic phase transition occurs at a hig...
متن کاملSpin squeezing in a bimodal condensate: spatial dynamics and particle losses
We propose an analytical method to study the entangled spatial and spin dynamics of interacting bimodal Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that at particular times during the evolution spatial and spin dynamics disentangle and the spin squeezing can be predicted by a simple two-mode model. We calculate the maximum spin squeezing achievable in experimentally relevant situations with Sodium or Ru...
متن کاملEffects of Nonlinearity in Wave Propagation in Multicomponent Bose–Einstein Condensates
We consider a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate in its polar ground state. We analyze magnetization waves of a finite amplitude and show that their nonlinear coupling to the density waves change the dependence of the frequency on the wavenumber dramatically. In contrary, the density wave propagation is much less modified by the nonlinearity effects. A similar phenomenon in a miscible two-componen...
متن کاملChaotic dynamics in spinor Bose–Einstein condensates
Concentrating on experimentally relevant cases we discuss nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos in F = 1 and F = 2 spinor Bose–Einstein condensates. A thorough numerical and analytical treatment of the equations of motion of symmetric F = 2 spin dynamics in the single-mode approximation elucidates the complex dynamics and uncovers regions of classical chaos in this important quantum gas sy...
