Hidden vortices and Feynman rule in Bose-Einstein condensates with density-dependent gauge potential

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.

Controlling Vortex Lattice Structure of Binary Bose-Einstein Condensates via Disorder Induced Vortex Pinning

We study the vortex pinning effect on the vortex lattice structure of the rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in the presence of impurities or disorder by numerically solving the time-dependent coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. We investigate the transition of the vortex lattice structures by changing conditions such as angular frequency, the strength of the inter-component interaction and pinning potential, and also the lattice constant of the periodic pinning potential. We show that even a single impurity pinning potential can change the unpinned vortex lattice structure from triangular to square or from triangular to a structure which is the overlap of triangular and square. In the presence of periodic pinning potential or optical lattice, we observe the structural transition from the unpinned vortex lattice to the pinned vortex lattice structure of the optical lattice. In the presence of random pinning potential or disorder, the vortex lattice melts following a two-step process by creation of lattice defects, dislocations, and disclinations, with the increase of rotational frequency, similar to that observed for single component Bose-Einstein condensates. However, for the binary BECs, we show that additionally the two-step vortex lattice melting also occurs with increasing strength of the inter-component interaction.

Vortex nucleation in rotating Bose-Einstein condensates with density-dependent gauge potential

We study numerically the vortex dynamics and vortex-lattice formation in a rotating density-dependent Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), characterized by the presence of nonlinear rotation. By varying the strength of nonlinear rotation in density-dependent BECs, we calculate the critical frequency, $Ω_{\text{cr}}$, for vortex nucleation both in adiabatic and sudden external trap rotations. The nonlinear rotation modifies the extent of deformation experienced by the BEC due to the trap and shifts the $Ω_{\text{cr}}$ values for vortex nucleation. The critical frequencies and thereby, the transition to vortex-lattices in an adiabatic rotation ramp, depend on conventional $\textit{s}$-wave scattering lengths through the strength of nonlinear rotation, $\mathit{C}$, such that $Ω_{\text{cr}}(\mathit{C}>0) < Ω_{\text{cr}}(\mathit{C}=0) < Ω_{\text{cr}}(\mathit{C}<0)$. In an analogous manner, the critical ellipticity ($ε_{\text{cr}}$) for vortex nucleation during an adiabatic introduction of trap ellipticity ($ε$) depends on the nature of nonlinear rotation besides trap rotation frequency. The nonlinear rotation additionally affects the vortex-vortex interactions and the motion of the vortices through the condensate by altering the strength of Magnus force on them. The combined result of these nonlinear effects is the formation of the non-Abrikosov vortex-lattices and ring-vortex arrangements in the density-dependent BECs.

Impurity induced Modulational instability in Bose-Einstein condensates

By means of linear stability analysis (LSA) and direct numerical simulations of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii(GP)equations, we address the impurity induced modulational instability (MI) and the associated nonlinear dynamics in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We explore the dual role played by the impurities within the BECs -- the instigation of MI and the dissipation of the initially generated solitary waves. Because of the impurities, the repulsive BECs are even modulationally unstable and this tendency towards MI increases with increasing impurity fraction and superfluid-impurity coupling strength. However, the tendency of a given BEC towards the MI decreases with the decreasing mass of the impurity atoms while the sign of the superfluid-impurity interaction plays no role. The above results are true even for attractive BECs except for a weak superfluid-impurity coupling, where the MI phenomenon is marginally suppressed by the presence of impurities. The dissipation of the solitons reduces their lifetime and is eminent for a larger impurity fraction and strong superfluid-impurity strength respectively.

Decay of two-dimensional quantum turbulence in binary Bose-Einstein condensates

We study two-dimensional quantum turbulence in miscible binary Bose-Einstein condensates in either a harmonic trap or a steep-wall trap through the numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The turbulence is generated through a Gaussian stirring potential. When the condensates have unequal intra-component coupling strengths or asymmetric trap frequencies, the turbulent condensates undergo a dramatic decay dynamics to an interlaced array of vortex-antidark structures, a quasi-equilibrium state, of like-signed vortices with an extended size of the vortex core. The time of formation of this state is shortened when the parameter asymmetry of the intra-component couplings or the trap frequencies are enhanced. The corresponding spectrum of the incompressible kinetic energy exhibits two noteworthy features: (i) a $k^{-3}$ power-law around the range of the wave number determined by the spin healing length (the size of the extended vortex-core) and (ii) a flat region around the range of the wave number determined by the density healing length. The latter is associated with the small scale phase fluctuation relegated outside the Thomas-Fermi radius and is more prominent as the strength of intercomponent interaction approaches the strength of intra-component interaction. We also study the impact of the inter-component interaction to the cluster formation of like-signed vortices in an elliptical steep-wall trap, finding that the inter-component coupling gives rise to the decay of the clustered configuration.

Quantum Vortex States in Bose Hubbard Model With Rotation

We study quantum vortex states of strongly interacting bosons in a two-dimensional rotating optical lattice. The system is modeled by Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian with rotation. We consider lattices of different geometries, such as square, rectangular and triangular. Using numerical exact diagonalization method we show how the rotation introduces vortex states of different ground-state symmetries and the transition between these states at discrete rotation frequencies. We show how the geometry of the lattice plays crucial role in determining the maximum number of vortex states as well as the general characteristics of these states such as, the average angular momentum $ $, the current at the perimeter of the lattice, phase winding, the relation between the maximum phase difference, the maximum current and also the saturation of the current between the two neighboring lattice points. The effect of the two- and three-body interactions between the particles, both attractive and repulsive, also depends on the geometry of the lattice as the current flow or the lattice current depends on the interactions. We also consider the effect of the spatial inhomogeneity introduced by the presence of an additional confining harmonic trap potential. It is shown that the curvature of the trap potential and the position of the minimum of the trap potential with respect to the axis of rotation or the center of the lattice have a significant effect on the general characteristics these vortex states.

Stabilization of trapless dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates by temporal modulation of the contact interaction

We theoretically study the stability of a trapless dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with temporal modulation of short-range contact interaction. For this aim, through both analytical and numerical methods, we solve a Gross-Pitaevskii equation with both constant and oscillatory form of short-range contact interaction along with long-range, nonlocal, dipole-dipole (DD) interaction terms. Using variational method, we discuss the stability of the trapless dipolar BEC with presence and absence of both constant and oscillatory contact interactions. We show that the oscillatory contact interaction prevents the collapse of the trapless dipolar BEC. We confirm the analytical prediction through numerical simulations. We have also studied the collective excitations in the system induced by the effective potential due to oscillating interaction.

Signatures of two-step impurity mediated vortex lattice melting in Bose-Einstein Condensates

We simulate a rotating 2D BEC to study the melting of a vortex lattice in presence of random impurities. Impurities are introduced either through a protocol in which vortex lattice is produced in an impurity potential or first creating the vortex lattice in the absence of random pinning and then cranking up the (co-rotating) impurity potential. We find that for a fixed strength, pinning of vortices at randomly distributed impurities leads to the new states of vortex lattice. It is unearthed that the vortex lattice follow a two-step melting via loss of positional and orientational order. Also, the comparisons between the states obtained in two protocols show that the vortex lattice states are metastable states when impurities are introduced after the formation of an ordered vortex lattice. We also show the existence of metastable states which depend on the history of how the vortex lattice is created.

Study of implosion in an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate

By solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation analytically and numerically, we reexamine the implosion phenomena that occur beyond the critical value of the number of atoms of an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with cigar-shape trapping geometry. We theoretically calculate the critical number of atoms in the condensate by using Ritz's variational optimization technique and investigate the stability and collapse dynamics of the attractive BEC by numerically solving the time dependent Gross-Pitavskii equation.

Disorder Induced Vortex Lattice Melting in Bose-Einstein Condensate

We study the vortex lattice dynamics in presence of single impurity as well as random impurities or disorder. We show that in presence of a single impurity the vortex lattice gets distorted and the distortion depends on the position of the single impurity with respect to the positions of the vortices in the impurity free Abrikosov vortex lattice and also the strength of the impurity potential. We then show that a new type of giant hole with hidden vortices inside it can be created in the vortex lattice by a cluster of impurities. In presence of random impurity potential or disorder the vortex lattice melts. We show that the vortex lattice also melts in presence of pseudorandom potential generated by the superposition of two optical lattices. The absence of long-range order in the melted vortex lattice is demonstrated from the structure factor profile and the histogram of the distances between each pair of the vortices.

Discrete Breather and Soliton-Mode Collective Excitations in Bose-Einstein Condensates in a Deep Optical Lattice with Tunable Three-body Interactions

We have studied the dynamic evolution of the collective excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates in a deep optical lattice with tunable three-body interactions. Their dynamics is governed by a high order discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation (DNLSE). The dynamical phase diagram of the system is obtained using the variational method. The dynamical evolution shows very interesting features. The discrete breather phase totally disappears in the regime where the three-body interaction completely dominates over the two-body interaction. The soliton phase in this particular regime exists only when the soliton line approaches the critical line in the phase diagram. When weak two-body interactions are reintroduced into this regime, the discrete breather solutions reappear, but occupies a very small domain in the phase space. Likewise, in this regime, the soliton as well as the discrete breather phases completely disappear if the signs of the two-and three-body interactions are opposite. We have analysed the causes of this unusual dynamical evolution of the collective excitations of the Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable interactions. We have also performed direct numerical simulations of the governing DNLS equation to show the existence of the discrete soliton solution as predicted by the variational calculations, and also to check the long term stability of the soliton solution.

Quantization of β-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam Lattice with Nearest and Next-nearest Neighbour Interactions

We quantize the β-Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions using a number conserving approximation and a numerical exact diagonalization method. Our numerical mean field bi-phonon spectrum shows excellent agreement with the analytic mean field results of Ivić and Tsironis ((2006) Physica D 216 200), except for the wave vector at the midpoint of the Brillouin zone. We then relax the mean field approximation and calculate the eigenvalue spectrum of the full Hamiltonian. We show the existence of multi-phonon bound states and analyze the properties of these states as the system parameters vary. From the calculation of the spatial correlation function we then show that these multi-phonon bound states are particle like states with finite spatial correlation. Accordingly we identify these multi-phonon bound states as the quantum equivalent of the breather solutions of the corresponding classical FPU model. The four-phonon spectrum of the system is then obtained and its properties are studied. We then generalize the study to an extended range interaction and consider the quantization of the β-FPU model with next-nearest-neighbour interactions. We analyze the effect of the next-nearest-neighbour interactions on the eigenvalue spectrum and the correlation functions of the system.

Pinning of Hidden Vortices in Bose-Einstein Condensate

We study the vortex dynamics and vortex pinning effect in Bose-Einstein condensate in a rotating double-well trap potential and co-rotating optical lattice. We show that, in agreement with the experiment, the vortex number do not diverge when the rotational frequency $Ω\rightarrow 1$ if the trap potential is of anisotropic double-well type. The critical rotational frequency as obtained from numerical simulations agrees very well with the value $\sqrt l/l$ for $l=4$ which supports the conjecture that surface modes with angular momentum $l=4$ are excited when the rotating condensate is trapped in double-well potential. The vortex lattice structure in a rotating triple-well trap potential and its pinning shows very interesting features. We show the existence and pinning of a new type of hidden vortices whose phase profile is similar to that of the visible vortices.

Stability of Compacton Solutions of Fifth-Order Nonlinear Dispersive Equations

We consider fifth-order nonlinear dispersive $K(m,n,p)$ type equations to study the effect of nonlinear dispersion. Using simple scaling arguments we show, how, instead of the conventional solitary waves like solitons, the interaction of the nonlinear dispersion with nonlinear convection generates compactons - the compact solitary waves free of exponential tails. This interaction also generates many other solitary wave structures like cuspons, peakons, tipons etc. which are otherwise unattainable with linear dispersion. Various self similar solutions of these higher order nonlinear dispersive equations are also obtained using similarity transformations. Further, it is shown that, like the third-order nonlinear $K(m,n)$ equations, the fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations also have the same four conserved quantities and further even any arbitrary odd order nonlinear dispersive $K(m,n,p...)$ type equations also have the same three (and most likely the four) conserved quantities. Finally, the stability of the compacton solutions for the fifth-order nonlinear dispersive equations are studied using linear stability analysis. From the results of the linear stability analysis it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton solutions are stable, since the stability conditions are satisfied for arbitrary values of the nonlinear parameters.

On The Stability of the Compacton Solutions

The stability of the recently discovered compacton solutions is studied by means of both linear stability analysis as well as Lyapunov stability criteria. From the results obtained it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton solutions are stable, as the stability condition is satisfied for arbitrary values of the nonlinearity parameter. The results are shown to be true even for the higher order nonlinear dispersion equations for compactons. Some new conservation laws for the higher order nonlinear dispersion equations are also presented.
