Abstract: | The dynamics of the collective spin for Bose-Einstein condensates with nonlinear interactions, is studied within the framework of the two-component spinor. We discuss the spin resonance when the system is submitted to a periodically-modulated magnetic field at the zero temperature. In this case, the nonlinearity parameter controls the critical change between a localized and a homogeneous spin state. When the temperature is finite – or a random magnetic field is considered – the movement of the collective spin is governed by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, from which the complete Fokker-Planck equation is derived. This equation is the essential tool to describe the time-evolution of the probability distribution function for the collective spin. The functional integral approach is used to solve analytically examples of BEC spin behavior in a static magnetic field at finite temperature. We show how such a method can lead effectively to the complete solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for this kind of problems. |
