S ep 1 99 8 Quasi - classical dynamics of interacting Bose condensates †
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of the composition of uniform Bose condensates involving two species capable of reciprocal interconversion is treated in terms of a collective quasi-spin model. This collective model quickly reduces to classical form towards the thermodynamic limit. Quantum solutions are easily obtained numerically short of this limit which give insight into the dynamically relevant correlation processes.

Rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates in and near the lowest Landau level.
We create rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates in the lowest Landau level by spinning up the condensates to rotation rates Omega > 99% of the centrifugal limit for a harmonically trapped gas, while reducing the number of atoms. As a consequence, the chemical potential drops below the cyclotron energy 2 variant Planck's over 2pi Omega. While in this mean-field quantum-Hall regime we still ...

We have begun a series of experiments on mixed bosonic quantum fluids. Our system is mixed Bose-Einstein condensates in dilute Rb-87. By simultaneously trapping the atoms in two different hyperfine states, we are able to study the dynamics of component separation and of the relative quantum phase of two interpenetrating condensates. Population can be converted from one state to the other at a r...
متن کاملChaotic dynamics in spinor Bose–Einstein condensates
Concentrating on experimentally relevant cases we discuss nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos in F = 1 and F = 2 spinor Bose–Einstein condensates. A thorough numerical and analytical treatment of the equations of motion of symmetric F = 2 spin dynamics in the single-mode approximation elucidates the complex dynamics and uncovers regions of classical chaos in this important quantum gas sy...
متن کاملQuantum Dynamics of Coupled Bosonic Wells within the Bose-hubbard Picture
We relate the quantum dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) to the semiclassical nonlinear equations that describe an array of interacting Bose condensates by implementing a standard variational procedure based on the coherent state method. We investigate the dynamics of the two-site BHM from the purely quantum viewpoint by recasting first the model within a spin picture and using then the r...

We have measured the relative phase of two Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) using a time-domain separated-oscillatory-field condensate interferometer. A single two-photon coupling pulse prepares the double condensate system with a well-defined relative phase; at a later time, a second pulse reads out the phase difference accumulated between the two condensates. We find that the accumulated phase...
