Atomic density fluctuations in Bose-Einstein condensates
A Yukawa-like equation, introduced to evaluate the first order correlation function in a Bose-Einstein condensate, can be used to evaluate the atomic density fluctuations. It does not require a few mode approximation. We apply this approach to calculate the atomic fluctuations of a condensate of attractive atoms in a double-well potential. The atomic system undergoes a spatial symmetry breaking...
متن کاملNumber fluctuations and energy dissipation in sodium spinor condensates.
We characterize fluctuations in atom number and spin populations in F=1 sodium spinor condensates. We find that the fluctuations enable a quantitative measure of energy dissipation in the condensate. The time evolution of the population fluctuations shows a maximum. We interpret this as evidence of a dissipation-driven separatrix crossing in phase space. For a given initial state, the critical ...
متن کاملAtomic number fluctuations in a falling cold atom cloud
We evaluate the effective number of atoms in experiments where a probe laser beam with a Gaussian transverse profile passes through an atomic medium consisting in a cold atom cloud released from a magnetooptical trap. Considering the case where the initial distribution is a Gaussian function of position and of velocity, we give a quantitative description of the temporal variation of the effecti...
متن کاملPhase Fluctuations in Bose - Einstein Condensates
We demonstrate the existence of phase fluctuations in elongated Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) and study the dependence of those fluctuations on the system parameters. A strong dependence on temperature , atom number, and trapping geometry is observed. Phase fluctuations directly affect the coherence properties of BECs. In particular, we observe instances where the phase coherence length is s...
متن کاملQuantum liquid droplets in a mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates.
Quantum droplets are small clusters of atoms self-bound by the balance of attractive and repulsive forces. Here, we report on the observation of droplets solely stabilized by contact interactions in a mixture of two Bose-Einstein condensates. We demonstrate that they are several orders of magnitude more dilute than liquid helium by directly measuring their size and density via in situ imaging. ...
