Atomic Squeezing under Collective Emission

Atomic squeezing is studied for the case of large systems of radiating atoms, when collective effects are well developed. All temporal stages are analyzed, starting with the quantum stage of spontaneous emission, passing through the coherent stage of superradiant emission, and going to the relaxation stage ending with stationary solutions. A method of governing the temporal behaviour of the squeezing factor is suggested. The influence of a squeezed effective vacuum on the characteristics of collective emission is also investigated.

Coherent Nuclear Radiation

The main part of this review is devoted to the comprehensive description of coherent radiation by nuclear spins. The theory of nuclear spin superradiance is developed and the experimental observations of this phenomenon are considered. The intriguing problem of how coherence develops from initially incoherent quantum fluctuations is analysed. All main types of coherent radiation by nuclear spins are discussed, which are: free nuclear induction, collective induction, maser generation, pure superradiance, triggered superradiance, pulsing superradiance, punctuated superradiance, and induced emission. The influence of electron-nuclear hyperfine interactions and the role of magnetic anisotropy are studied. Conditions for realizing spin superradiance by magnetic molecules are investigated. The possibility of nuclear matter lasing, accompanied by pion or dibaryon radiation, is briefly touched.

Multiple Coupling of Topological Coherent Modes of Trapped Atoms

The possibility of generating multiple coherent modes in trapped Bose gases is advanced. This requires the usage of several driving fields whose frequencies are tuned close to the corresponding transition frequencies. A general criterion is derived explaining when the driving fields, even being in perfect resonance, cannot generate the topological coherent modes. This criterion is termed the theorem of shape conservation. Bose-Einstein condensates with generated coherent modes display a number of interesting effects, such as: interference fringes, interference current, mode locking, dynamic transition, critical phenomena, chaotic motion, harmonic generation, parametric conversion, atomic squeezing, and entanglement production. Approximate solutions, based on the averaging techniques, are found to be in good agreement with direct numerical calculations for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

Resonant Generation of Topological Modes in Trapped Bose Gases

Trapped Bose atoms cooled down to temperatures below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature are considered. Stationary solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) define the topological coherent modes, representing nonground-state Bose-Einstein condensates. These modes can be generated by means of alternating fields whose frequencies are in resonance with the transition frequencies between two collective energy levels corresponding to two different topological modes. The theory of resonant generation of these modes is generalized in several aspects: Multiple-mode formation is described; a shape-conservation criterion is derived, imposing restrictions on the admissible spatial dependence of resonant fields; evolution equations for the case of three coherent modes are investigated; the complete stability analysis is accomplished; the effects of harmonic generation and parametric conversion for the topological coherent modes are predicted. All considerations are realized both by employing approximate analytical methods as well as by numerically solving the GPE. Numerical solutions confirm all conclusions following from analytical methods.

Stratification of Moving Multicomponent Bose-Einstein Condensates

A mixture of the multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensate is considered, where each component moves with its own velocity. As a result of the relative motion, the mixture stratifies when the relative velocity reaches a critical value. Stability conditions for a binary moving mixture are derived and the critical velocity is found.

Coherent Resonance in Trapped Bose Condensates

Coherent resonance is the effect of resonant excitation of nonlinear coherent modes in trapped Bose condensates. This novel effect is shown to be feasible for Bose-condensed trapped gases.

Interference effects are studied. The existence of atomic squeezing and multiparticle coherent entanglement is demonstrated. Coherent resonance is a generalization of atomic resonance, involving internal states of an individual atom, to collective states of a multiparticle system.

Resonant Bose Condensate: Analog of Resonant Atom

The resonant formation of nonlinear coherent modes in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is studied. These modes represent nonground-state Bose condensates. The methods of describing the spectrum of the nonlinear modes are discussed. The latter can be created by modulating the trapping potential with a frequency tuned close to the transition frequency between the two chosen modes. The requirement that the transition amplitudes be smaller than the transition frequency implies a constraint on the number of particles that can be transferred to an excited mode. The resonant Bose condensate serves as a collective analog of a single resonant atom. Such a condensate, displaying the coherent resonance, possesses several interesting features, among which are: mode locking, critical dynamics, interference patterns, interference current, atomic squeezing, and multiparticle entanglement.

Numerical Modelling of Transport Processes in Semiconductors

The peculiarities of electric current in semiconductors with nonuniform distribution of charge carriers are studied. The semiclassical drift-diffusion equations consisting of the continuity equations and the Poisson equation are solved numerically using Rusanov finite-difference scheme of third order. The different types of boundary conditions are numerically investigated. It is shown that the stability of the Rusanov scheme for the problem considered is achieved with the Neumann type boundary conditions. These conditions correspond to the absence of diffusion through semiconductor surface. Special set of parameters is found under which a very interesting and unusual transient effect of negative current in nonuniform semiconductors appears. Different regimes of negative current are considered for realistic semiconductor materials.

Topological Coherent Modes for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, complemented by a confining potential, possesses a discrete set of stationary solutions. These are called coherent modes, since the nonlinear Schrödinger equation describes coherent states. Such modes are also named topological because the solutions corresponding to different spectral levels have principally different spatial dependences. The theory of resonant excitation of these topological coherent modes is presented. The method of multiscale averaging is employed in deriving the evolution equations for resonant guiding centers. A rigorous qualitative analysis for these nonlinear differential equations is given. Temporal behaviour of fractional populations is illustrated by numerical solutions.

Self-Similar Structures and Fractal Transforms in Approximation Theory

An overview is given of the methods for treating complicated problems without small parameters, when the standard perturbation theory based on the existence of small parameters becomes useless. Such complicated problems are typical of quantum physics, many-body physics, physics of complex systems, and various aspects of applied physics and applied mathematics. A general approach for dealing with such problems has been developed, called Self-Similar Approximation Theory. A concise survey of the main ideas of this approach is presented, with the emphasis on the basic notion of group self-similarity. The techniques are illustrated by examples from quantum field theory.

Nonlinear Coherent Modes of Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates

Nonlinear coherent modes are the collective states of trapped Bose atoms, corresponding to different energy levels. These modes can be created starting from the ground state condensate that can be excited by means of a resonant alternating field. A thorough theory for the resonant excitation of the coherent modes is presented. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the feasibility of this process are found. Temporal behaviour of fractional populations and of relative phases exhibits dynamic critical phenomena on a critical line of the parametric manifold. The origin of these critical phenomena is elucidated by analyzing the structure of the phase space. An atomic cloud, containing the coherent modes, possesses several interesting features, such as interference patterns, interference current, spin squeezing, and massive entanglement. The developed theory suggests a generalization of resonant effects in optics to nonlinear systems of Bose-condensed atoms.

Self-Similar Approximations for a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate

An approximate solution to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for Bose-Einstein condensate in a spherical harmonic trap is suggested, which is valid in the whole interval of the coupling parameter, correctly interpolating between weak-coupling and strong-coupling limits. This solution is shown to be more accurate than the optimized Gaussian approximation as well as the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The derivation of the solution is based on the self-similar approximation theory. The possibility of obtaining interpolation formulas in the case of nonspherical traps is discussed.

Processing Information by Punctuated Spin Superradiance

The possibility of realizing the regime of punctuated spin superradiance is advanced. In this regime, the number of superradiant pulses and the temporal intervals between them can be regulated. This makes it feasible to compose a kind of the Morse Code alphabet and, hence, to develop a technique of processing information.

Spectrum of Coherent Modes for Trapped Bose Gas

The spectrum of coherent modes for dilute atomic Bose gas, confined in a cylindrical trap, is calculated by applying optimized perturbation theory and the technique of self-similar root approximants. The latter technique makes it possible to derive accurate analytical formulas. The obtained expressions are valid for arbitrary energy levels of all excited nonlinear coherent modes and for different traps, spherical, sigar-shape, and disk-shape.

Do We Understand What Is Deconfinement?

An overview is given of different approaches to describing the process of deconfinement in quantum chromodynamics. The analysis of the known approaches demonstrates that the detailed picture of how deconfinement really occurs has not yet been understood. Therefore, one has to be rather cautious when interpreting experimental signals as attributed to deconfinement.

Critical Effects in Population Dynamics of Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates

The population dynamics of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, subject to the action of an external field, is studied. This field produces a spatio-temporal modulation of the trapping potential with the frequency close to the transition frequency between the ground state and a higher energy level. For the evolution equations of fractional populations, a critical line is found. It is demonstrated that there exists a direct analogy between dynamical instability at this line and critical phenomena at a critical line of an averaged system. The related critical indices are calculated. The spatio-temporal evolution of atomic density is analyzed.

Possibility of Turbulent Crystals

The possibility for the occurrence in crystals of a phenomenon, resembling turbulence, is discussed. This phenomenon, called {\it heterophase turbulence}, is manifested by the fluctuational appearance inside a crystalline sample of disordered regions randomly distributed in space. The averaged picture for such a turbulent solid is exemplified by an exactly solvable lattice-gas model. The origin of heterophase turbulence is connected with stochastic instability of quasi-isolated systems.
