Spinor Bose–Einstein condensates

An overview of the physics of spinor and dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) is given. Mean-field ground states, Bogoliubov spectra, and many-body ground and excited states of spinor BECs are discussed. Properties of spin-polarized dipolar BECs and those of spinor–dipolar BECs are reviewed. Some of the unique features of the vortices in spinor BECs such as fractional vortices and non-Abelian vortices are delineated. The symmetry of the order parameter is classified using group theory, and various topological excitations are investigated based on homotopy theory. Some of the more recent developments in a spinor BEC are discussed.     

The stability of Bose--Einstein condensates in a two-dimensional shallow trap

The stability of Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) loaded into a two-dimensional shallow harmonic potential well is studied. By using the variational method, the ground state properties for interacting BECs in the shallow trap are discussed. It is shown that the possible stable bound state can exist. The depth of the shallow well plays an important role in stabilizing the BECs. The stability of BECs in the shallow trap with the periodic modulating of atom interaction by using the Feshbach resonance is also discussed. The results show that the collapse and diffusion of BECs in a shallow trap can be controlled by the temporal modulation of the scattering length.     

Effects of localized impurity of trap on characteristics of two Bose-Einstein condensates

The characteristics of solitons with a localized impurity in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are investigated with numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation, the effects of the impurity on BEC solitons are discussed, and the atom population transferring ratios between the two BECs as time goes on are analyzed. It is found that population transfer depends on the impurity strength and the parameters of the system of BECs.     

Energy spectrum and entanglement of two tunnel- coupled Bose--Einstein condensates

This paper obtains the energy-spectrum and eigenstate corrections of two-mode Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) coupled by quantum tunnelling by perturbation method in both strong and weak tunnelling regions. The population imbalance between two BECs are then studied in terms of the low-lying eigenstates which also characterize the intrinsic entanglement between the two-mode BECs. The strong parity effect in the weak tunnelling region is also investigated.     

Stability of Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates in Bessel Optical Lattices

The stability of the ground state of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates （BEGs） loaded into the central well of an axially symmetric Bessel lattices （BLs） potential with attractive or repulsive atoms interactions is studied using the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation （GPE）. By using the variational method, we find that stable ground state of two-component BEGs can exist in BLs. The BLs＇s depth and the intra-species atom interaction play an important role in the stability of ground state. The collapse of two-component BEGs in BLs is also studied and a collapse condition for trapped two-component BEGs is obtained. It is shown that the two-component BEGs exhibit rich collapse dynamics. That is, the two-component BEGs can collapse in the system with both intra- and inter-attractive, or with intra-attractive and inter-repulsive, or with intra-repulsive and inter-attractive atom interactions. Furthermore, the control of the collapse of the two-component BEGs in BLs is discussed in detail. The stability diagram of the ground state in parameter space is obtained. The results show that the collapse of two-component BEGs can be controlled by temporal modulation of the atom interaction.     

Can spinor dipolar effects be observed in Bose-Einstein condensates?

Weak dipolar effects in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have recently been predicted to develop spin textures. However, observation of the spin textures requires us to decrease the magnetic field down to approximately 10 microG for spin-1 alkali BECs, so that they are not washed out by the Zeeman effect. We present a scheme to observe the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction in alkali BECs under a realistic magnetic field of approximately 100 mG. Our scheme enables us to extract genuine dipolar effects and should apply also to (52)Cr BECs.     

The ground states and pseudospin textures of rotating two-component Bose–Einstein condensates trapped in harmonic plus quartic potential

The ground states of two-component miscible Bose–Einstein condensates(BECs) confined in a rotating annular trap are obtained by using the Thomas–Fermi(TF) approximation method.The ground state density distribution of the condensates experiences a transition from a disc shape to an annulus shape either when the angular frequency increases and the width and the center height of the trap are fixed,or when the width and the center height of the trap increase and the angular frequency is fixed.Meantime the numerical solutions of the ground states of the trapped two-component miscible BECs with the same condition are obtained by using imaginary-time propagation method.They are in good agreement with the solutions obtained by the TF approximation method.The ground states of the trapped two-component immiscible BECs are also given by using the imaginary-time propagation method.Furthermore,by introducing a normalized complex-valued spinor,three kinds of pseudospin textures of the BECs,i.e.,giant skyrmion,coaxial double-annulus skyrmion,and coaxial three-annulus skyrmion,are found.     

Modulational Instability of Trapped Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates

The modulational instability of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates(BECs)under an external parabolic potential is discussed.Based on the trapped two-component Gross-Pitaevskill equations,a time-dependent dispersion relation is obtained analytically by means of the modified lens-type transformation and linear stability analysis.It is shown that a modulational unstable time scale exists for trapped two-component BECs.The modulational properties-which are determined by the wave number,external trapping parameter,intraand inter-species atomic interactions-are modified significantly.The analytical results are confirmed by direct numerical simulation.Our results provide a criterion for judging the occurrence of instability of the trapped two-component BECs in experiment.     

Ground states of spin-orbit-coupled Bose Einstein condensates in the presence of external magnetic field

Two different kinds of spin-orbit (SO) coupling are often investigated theoretically and experimentally in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), namely, Rashba and Dresselhaus SO couplings. We show that ground states for these two SO-coupled BECs share lots of similarities and it is impossible to distinguish them from the observation of ground states. We find that an Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic field can be utilized as a tool to distinguish them. In the presence of the Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic field, ground states manifest distinctively for the Rashba and Dresselhaus SO-coupled BECs.
