Abstract

In this article, we numerically investigate the vortex nucleation in a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well potential and subjected to a density-dependent gauge potential. A rotating Bose-Einstein condensate, when confined in a double-well potential, not only gives rise to visible vortices but also produces hidden vortices. We have empirically developed the Feynmans rule for the number of vortices versus angular momentum in Bose-Einstein condensates in presence of the density dependent-gauge potentials. The variation of the average angular momentum with the number of vortices is also sensitive to the nature of the nonlinear rotation due to the density-dependent gauge potentials. The empirical result agrees well with the numerical simulations and the connection is verified by means of curve fitting analysis. The modified Feynman rule is further confirmed for the BECs confined in harmonic and toroidal traps. In addition, we show the nucleation of vortices in double-well and toroidally confined Bose-Einstein condensates solely through nonlinear rotations (without any trap rotation) arising through the density dependent-gauge potential.

Transdimensional quantum droplets in an optically trapped Bose mixture

We study quantum droplets in a symmetric two-component Bose mixture with interspecies $p$-wave interactions and a two-dimensional transverse optical lattice. The lattice drives a crossover from an anisotropic three-dimensional gas to weakly coupled one-dimensional tubes. We calculate the ground-state energy and quantum depletion at the Gaussian level and derive their limiting forms. At $y=g_{12}/g=-0.95$, where the bare mean field is repulsive and no free-space droplet exists, the calculated bulk equation of state supports a self-bound minimum across the crossover: a negative lattice contribution at order $n^{2}$ supplies the attraction in the three-dimensional regime, and attractive fluctuations do so in the quasi-one-dimensional regime, with the intermediate, transdimensional range described quantitatively by neither limit. The interspecies $p$-wave interaction modifies only the spin branch. In the parameter range studied, increasing its strength lowers the equilibrium density across the crossover, consistently with a weakening of the induced binding.

Microwave-controlled interactions and stripe formation of static-field-shielded polar molecules

We study polar molecules where short-range losses are suppressed by a shielding scheme involving a static electric field and an elliptically polarized microwave field. Using perturbation theory, we derive the effective interaction potential and validate it against coupled channel calculations. We identify a parameter regime where two-body losses are strongly suppressed and the extended mean-field description of dilute molecular Bose-Einstein condensates is justified. We calculate the collective excitations and show that intriguingly, supersolidity in quasi-two-dimensional confinement emerges as a stripe phase even at small values of microwave ellipticity.

Finite-time effects in periodically kicked systems

In this work, we study finite-time effects in ultracold atomic systems by considering time-dependent modulations with variable waveforms and durations. These two characteristics can be controlled by adjusting only a single parameter. For arbitrarily short pulses, our model recovers the paradigmatic kicked rotor while maintaining the impulse transmitted per period and unit amplitude constant. Furthermore, we demonstrate that finite-time effects have a profound impact on dynamical localization, a result that cannot be captured by the {\delta}-kicked-rotor model. Through a detailed analysis of the effects of different modulation amplitudes, periods, and waveforms, we identify the conditions for which dynamical localization is significantly enhanced. We show that the strength of dynamical localization increases sharply as the system approaches the {\delta}-kicked-rotor limiting case. Moreover, we establish the existence of an optimal value of the period that maximizes dynamical localization for given values of the amplitude and shape parameter.
