Multipolar exchange in a many-body homonuclear mixture of atoms in different internal states

We develop a general method for constructing the many-body Hamiltonian of pairwise interactions describing homonuclear mixtures of atoms occupying states with different total angular momenta or other quantum numbers. The advantage of the irreducible spherical tensor operator formalism is demonstrated: these operators give the Hamiltonian an explicit physical structure, account for all scattering channels, and include multipolar exchange interactions. The latter correspond to the exchange of both angular-momentum projections and the total angular momentum. Particular realizations of the general Hamiltonian, widely used in the physics of ultracold gases, are also analyzed. The resulting Hamiltonian provides a universal framework for investigating a broad range of quantum many-body phenomena in bosonic and fermionic atomic gases.

Self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach for bosons: self-eliminating divergence and pure pair condensate

We investigate the thermodynamic properties of an interacting Bose gas with a condensate within the energy-functional formulation of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach. For a contact interaction, we derive a self-consistent solution to the HFB equations that intrinsically eliminates divergence. This solution characterizes the equilibrium state featuring a condensate of correlated pairs of particles. We analyze the temperature dependence of key thermodynamic quantities such as condensate density, chemical potential, entropy, pressure, specific heat capacity at constant volume, and isothermal compressibility and compare them with predictions from the Popov approximation (PA). We predict that the transition temperature shifts to higher values due interactions, with the HFB approach yielding a larger shift than the PA. Analysis of the compressibility indicates that a pure pair condensate is unstable, and the stable equilibrium corresponds to only a mixture of single-particle and pair condensates.

Method of canonical transformations in the theory of quantum gases interacting with radiation

An approach to the theoretical study of effects and phenomena in quantum gases interacting with radiation is proposed. The approach is based on a modification of the canonical transformation method, which was once used to diagonalize Hamiltonians describing the interaction of electrons with phonons in a solid. The capabilities of the method are demonstrated by studying the influence of photons on the spectral characteristics of atoms of quantum gases interacting with radiation. Within the framework of the developed approach, the effect of "dressing" atoms of quantum gases by a cloud of virtual photons is investigated and expressions for the energy characteristics of such dressed atoms - quasiparticles are obtained. The problem of defining the concept of the effective mass of such quasiparticles is discussed.

General collisionless kinetic approach to studying excitations in arbitrary-spin quantum atomic gases

We develop a general kinetic approach to studying high-frequency collective excitations in arbitrary-spin quantum gases. To this end, we formulate a many-body Hamiltonian that includes the multipolar exchange interaction as well as the coupling of a multipolar moment with an external field. By linearizing the respective collisionless kinetic equation, we find a general dispersion equation that allows us to examine the high-frequency collective modes for arbitrary-spin atoms obeying one or another quantum statistics. We analyze some of its particular solutions describing spin waves and zero sound for Bose and Fermi gases.

Zero sound in a quantum gas of spin-3/2 atoms with multipole exchange interaction

In the context of quantum gases, we obtain a many-body Hamiltonian for spin-3/2 atoms with general multipole (spin, quadrupole, and octupole) exchange interaction by employing the apparatus of irreducible spherical tensor operators. This Hamiltonian implies the finite-range interaction, whereas, for zero-range (contact) potentials parameterized by the $s$-wave scattering length, the multipole exchange interaction becomes irrelevant. Following the reduced description method for quantum systems, we derive the quantum kinetic equation for spin-3/2 atoms in a magnetic field and apply it to examine the high-frequency oscillations known as zero sound.

Magnetic phases and phase diagram of spin-1 condensate with quadrupole degrees of freedom

We obtain and justify a many-body Hamiltonian of pairwise interacting spin-1 atoms, which includes eight generators of the SU(3) group associated with spin and quadrupole degrees of freedom. It is shown that this Hamiltonian is valid for non-local interaction potential, whereas for local interaction specified by $s$-wave scattering length, the Hamiltonian should be bilinear in spin operators only (of the Heisenberg type). We apply the obtained Hamiltonian to study the ground-state properties and single-particle excitations of a weakly interacting gas of spin-1 atoms with Bose-Einstein condensate taking into account the quadrupole degrees of freedom. It is shown that the system under consideration can be in ferromagnetic, quadrupolar, and paramagnetic phases. The corresponding phase diagram is constructed and discussed. The main characteristics such as the density of the grand thermodynamic potential, condensate density, and single-particle excitation spectra modified by quadrupole degrees of freedom are determined in different phases.

Thermodynamics of a weakly interacting Bose gas above the transition temperature

We study thermodynamic properties of weakly interacting Bose gases above the transition temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation in the framework of a thermodynamic perturbation theory. Cases of local and non-local interactions between particles are analyzed both analytically and numerically. We obtain and compare the temperature dependencies for the chemical potential, entropy, pressure, and specific heat to those of noninteracting gases. The results set reliable benchmarks for thermodynamic characteristics and their asymptotic behavior in dilute atomic and molecular Bose gases above the transition temperature.

SU(3) symmetry in theory of a weakly interacting gas of spin-1 atoms with Bose-Einstein condensate

We study a many-body system of interacting spin-1 particles in the context of homogeneous gases of ultracold atoms. In general, its description requires eight parameters among which there are three components of magnetization and five parameters associated with quadrupole degrees of freedom. Based on the symmetry considerations, we construct a many-body interaction Hamiltonian that includes eight generators of the SU(3) group related to the above description parameters. The SU(3) symmetric Hamiltonian is applied to study the ferromagnetic and quadrupolar phases of a homogeneous weakly interacting gas of spin-1 atoms with Bose-Einstein condensate. It is shown how the quadrupole degrees of freedom entering the Hamiltonian modify the ground state and single-particle excitation spectra in comparison with those obtained from the Hamiltonian bilinear in spin operators and not including quadrupole degrees of freedom. We discuss the issue of taking into account the local character of interaction to obtain the correct spectra of single-particle excitations.

Bose-Einstein condensation of heteronuclear bound states formed in a Fermi gas of two atomic species: microscopic approach

We study a many-body system of interacting fermionic atoms of two species that are in thermodynamic equilibrium with their condensed heteronuclear bound states (molecules). In order to describe such an equilibrium state, we use a microscopic approach that involves the Bogoliubov model for a weakly interacting Bose gas and approximate formulation of the second quantization method in the presence of bound states of particles elaborated earlier by the authors. This microscopic approach is valid at low temperatures, when the average kinetic energy of all the components in the system is small in comparison with the bound state energy. The coupled equations, which relate the chemical potentials of fermionic components and molecular condensate density, are obtained within the proposed theory. At zero temperature, these equations are analyzed both analytically and numerically, attracting the relevant experimental data. We find the conditions at which a condensate of heteronuclear molecules coexists in equilibrium with degenerate components of a Fermi gas. The ground state energy and single-particle excitation spectrum are found. The boundaries of the applicability of the developed microscopic approach are analyzed.

Application of Bogolyubov's approach to the derivation of kinetic equations for dissipative systems

The main goal of the present article is to extend the Bogolyubov method for deriving kinetic equations to dissipative many-body systems. The basic conjecture underlying the Bogolyubov approach is the functional hypothesis, according to which, the many-particle distribution functions are assumed to be functionals of the one-particle distribution function on kinetic time scales. Another ingredient in the Bogolyubov approach is the principle of the spatial weakening of correlations, which reflects statistical independence of physical values at distant spatial points. One can consider it as a reasonable mixing property of many-particle distribution functions. The motivation behind the generalization of Bogolyubov's approach to (classical) many-body dissipative systems is the wish to describe the dynamics of granular systems, in particular granular fluids. To this end we first define a general dissipative fluid through a dissipation function, thereby generalizing the commonly employed models for granular fluids. Using the Bogolyubov functional hypothesis we show how a reduction of the pertinent BBGKY hierarchy can be achieved. The method is then employed to cases which can be treated perturbatively, such as those in which the interactions are weak or the dissipation is small or the particle density is small. Kinetic descriptions are obtained in all of these limiting cases. As a test case, we show that the Bogolyubov method begets the now standard inelastic Boltzmann equation for dilute monodisperse collections of spheres whose collisions are characterized by a fixed coefficient of normal restitution. Possible further applications and implications are discussed.

Role of single-particle and pair condensates in Bose systems with arbitrary intensity of interaction

We study a superfluid Bose system with single-particle and pair condensates on the basis of a half-phenomenological theory of a Bose liquid not involving the weakness of interparticle interaction. The coupled equations describing the equilibrium state of such system are derived from the variational principle for entropy. These equations are analyzed at zero temperature both analytically and numerically. It is shown that the fraction of particles in the single-particle and pair condensates essentially depends on the total density of the system. At densities attainable in condensates of alkali-metal atoms, almost all particles are in the single-particle condensate. The pair condensate fraction grows with an increasing total density and becomes dominant. It is shown that at density of liquid helium, the single-particle condensate fraction is less than 10%, which agrees with experimental data on inelastic neutron scattering, Monte Carlo calculations and other theoretical predictions. The ground state energy, pressure, and compressibility are found for the system under consideration. The spectrum of single-particle excitations is also analyzed.

Classical and relativistic dynamics of supersolids: variational principle

We present a phenomenological Lagrangian and Poisson brackets for obtaining nondissipative hydrodynamic theory of supersolids. A Lagrangian is constructed on the basis of unification of the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and classical field theory. The Poisson brackets, governing the dynamics of supersolids, are uniquely determined by the invariance requirement of the kinematic part of the found Lagrangian. The generalization of Lagrangian is discussed to include the dynamics of vortices. The obtained equations of motion do not account for any dynamic symmetry associated with Galilean or Lorentz invariance. They can be reduced to the original Andreev-Lifshitz equations if to require Galilean invariance. We also present a relativistic-invariant supersolid hydrodynamics, which might be useful in astrophysical applications.

On microscopic theory of spin-S Bose-Einstein condensate in a magnetic field

The Bogoliubov model for weakly interacting Bose gas is extended to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of spin-S atoms in a magnetic field. Equation for the vectorial order parameter valid at temperature $T\to 0$ is derived and its particular solution is found. This solution corresponds to the formation of BEC of atoms with a definite spin projection onto direction of a magnetic field. We study the thermodynamic stability of the found solution and obtain the expressions for low-lying collective modes.
