Counting Statistics of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Double-Well Potential
This thesis aims to investigate the dynamic properties of ultra-cold Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) trapped in a deep double well potential. Despite its simplicity, this system shows a rich variety of dynamical behaviors: Josephson oscillations, self-trapping behavior and critical dynamics. In contrast to previous studies, we aim to understand not only the first moment of the evolving occupati...
متن کاملTopologically trapped vortex molecules in Bose-Einstein condensates
In a numerical experiment based on Gross-Pitaevskii formalism, we demonstrate unique topological quantum coherence in optically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Exploring the fact that vortices in rotating BEC can be pinned by a geometric arrangement of laser beams, we show the parameter range in which vortex-antivortex molecules or multiquantum vortices are formed as a consequence of ...
متن کاملAnisotropic Bose-Einstein Condensates and Completely Integrable Dynamical Systems
A Gaussian ansatz for the wave function of two-dimensional harmonically trapped anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates is shown to lead, via a variational procedure, to a coupled system of two second-order, nonlinear ordinary differential equations. This dynamical system is shown to be in the general class of Ermakov systems. Complete integrability of the resulting Ermakov system is proven. Usin...
متن کاملQuantum and thermal fluctuations of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates
We quantize a semiclassical system defined by the Hamiltonian obtained from the asymptotic self-similar solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with a linear gain term. On the basis of a Schrödinger equation derived in a space of ellipsoidal parameters, we analytically calculate the quantum mechanical and thermal variance in the ellipsoidal parameters fo...
متن کاملSPECIAL FEATURE: PERSPECTIVE Vortices and turbulence in trapped atomic condensates
After more than a decade of experiments generating and studying the physics of quantized vortices in atomic gas Bose–Einstein condensates, research is beginning to focus on the roles of vortices in quantum turbulence, as well as other measures of quantum turbulence in atomic condensates. Such research directions have the potential to uncover new insights into quantum turbulence, vortices, and s...
