Superfluidity versus Anderson localization in a dilute Bose gas.

چکیده
We consider the motion of a quasi-one-dimensional beam of Bose-Einstein condensed particles in a disordered region of finite extent. Interaction effects lead to the appearance of two distinct regions of stationary flow. One is subsonic and corresponds to superfluid motion. The other one is supersonic and dissipative and shows Anderson localization. We compute analytically the interaction-dependent localization length. We also explain the disappearance of the supersonic stationary flow for large disordered samples.

Superfluidity in Dilute Trapped Bose Gases
A commonly used theoretical definition of superfluidity in the ground state of a Bose gas is based on the response of the system to an imposed velocity field or, equivalently, to twisted boundary conditions in a box. We are able to carry out this program in the case of a dilute interacting Bose gas in a trap. We prove that a gas with repulsive interactions is 100% superfluid in the dilute limit...

1. – Introduction 1. 1. Why BEC?. – In the month we began writing this paper, fourteen papers on the explicit topic of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a dilute gas appeared in the pages of Physical Review. Both theoretical and experimental activity in BEC has expanded dramatically in the three years since the first observation of BEC in a dilute atomic gas. One is tempted to ask, why? Why i...
متن کاملBose Condensation and Superfluidity in Finite Rotating Bose Systems
A long standing problem in the theory of superfluidity concerns the question of how close is the connection between Bose condensation and superfluidity[1]. For the case of superfluid He, the Bose condensate fraction is quite small (if not virtually zero), yet the superfluid fraction goes to unity in the limit of low temperatures T → 0. For the superfluid He case, the observation of superfluidit...
متن کاملCondensate density and superfluid mass density of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate near the condensation transition.
We derive via diagrammatic perturbation theory the scaling behavior of the condensate and superfluid mass density of a dilute Bose gas just below the condensation temperature, T(c). Sufficiently below T(c) particle excitations are described by mean field (Bogoliubov). Near T(c), however, mean field fails, and the system undergoes a second order phase transition, rather than first order as predi...
متن کاملResonance superfluidity in a quantum degenerate Fermi gas.
We consider the superfluid phase transition that arises when a Feshbach resonance pairing occurs in a dilute Fermi gas. We apply our theory to consider a specific resonance in potassium ((40)K), and find that for achievable experimental conditions, the transition to a superfluid phase is possible at the high critical temperature of about 0.5T(F). Observation of superfluidity in this regime woul...
