General hydrodynamic approach for a cold Bose gas

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to derive the hydrodynamics for a cold Bose gas from the microscopic platform based on the many-body Schrodinger equation and general assumptions of the hydrodynamic approach (HA) applicable to any dimension. We develop a general HA for a cold spatially inhomogeneous Bose gas assuming two different temporal and spatial scales and obtain the energy as a functional of both fast inner quantum mode and slow macroscopic mode. The equations governing the fast and slow modes are obtained from this functional by their independent variations. The fast mode is the wave function in the stationary state at local density which can be ground, excited with a nonzero atom momenta, or a superposition of more than one states. The energy eigenvalue (or expectation value) of this local wave function universally enters the hydrodynamic equation for the slow mode in the form of the local chemical potential which incorporates the inner local momentum. For zero inner momenta and particular choices of this eigenvalue as a function of gas density, this equation reduces to the known equations based on the local density approximation. If however the inner momenta are nonzero, the equation includes the interaction between these momenta and the slow mode velocity. Relation between this general HA and the standard local density approximation is elaborated. Two effects of the local momenta and their density dependence on the soliton solutions are demonstrated.

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.
