Controllable Entanglement of Lights in a Five-Level System

We analyze the nonlinear optical response of a five-level system under a novel configuration of electro-magnetically induced transparency. We show that a giant Kerr nonlinearity with a relatively large cross-phase modulation coefficient that occurs in such system may be used to produce an efficient photon-photon entanglement. We demonstrate that such photon-photon entanglement is practically controllable and hence facilitates promising applications in quantum information and computation.

Anomalous particle-number fluctuations in a three-dimensional interacting Bose-Einstein condensate

The particle-number fluctuations originated from collective excitations are investigated for a three-dimensional, repulsively interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a harmonic trap. The contribution due to the quantum depletion of the condensate is calculated and the explicit expression of the coefficient in the formulas denoting the particle-number fluctuations is given. The results show that the particle-number fluctuations of the condensate follow the law $<δN_0^2> \sim N^{22/15}$ and the fluctuations vanish when temperature approaches to the BEC critical temperature.

Phase diffusion of Bose-Einstein condensates in a one-dimensional optical lattice

We investigate the phase diffusion of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in the combined potential of a magnetic trap and a one-dimensional optical lattice. We show that the phase diffusion of the condensate in the whole optical lattice is evident and can be measured from the interference pattern of expanding subcondensates after the optical lattice is switched off. The maximum density of the interference pattern decreases significantly due to the mixing of the phase diffusion appearing in different subcondensates. This suggests a way to detect experimentally the notable phase diffusion of BECs.

Interference pattern of Bose-condensed gas in a 2D optical lattice

For the Bose-condensed gas confined in a magnetic trap and in a two-dimensional optical lattice, the non-uniform distribution of atoms in different lattice sites is considered based on Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A propagator method is used to investigate the time evolution of 2D interference patterns after (i)only the optical lattice is swithed off, and (ii)both the optical lattice and the magnetic trap are swithed off. An analytical description on the motion of side peaks in the interference patterns is presented by using the density distribution in a momentum space.

Anomalous fluctuations of two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate the particle-number fluctuations due to the collective excitations created in a two-dimensional (2D) and a quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) at low temperature. We find that the fluctuations display an anomalous behavior, i. e. for the 2D BEC they are proportional to $N^2$, where $N$ is the total number of particles. For the quasi-2D BEC, the particle-number fluctuations are proportional not only to $N^2$ but also to the square root of the trapping frequency in the strongly-confined direction.

Evolution of a coherent array of Bose-Einstein Condensates in a magnetic trap

We investigate the evolution process of the interference pattern for a coherent array of Bose-Einstein condensates in a magnetic trap after the optical lattices are switched off. It is shown that there is a decay and revival of the density oscillation for the condensates confined in the magnetic trap. We find that, due to the confinement of the magnetic trap, the interference effect is much stronger than that of the experiment induced by Pedri et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett, {\bf 87}, 220401), where the magnetic trap is switched off too. The interaction correction to the interference effect is also discussed for the density distribution of the central peak.

Phase diffusion of Bose-Einstein Condensation close to zero temperature

The correlation function of the quantum fluctuations due to collective excitations is calculated and used to investigate the phase diffusion of a Bose-Einstein condensate close to zero temperature. It is shown that the phase diffusion time of the condensate is much longer than the result obtained by assuming that the correlation time of the quantum fluctuations is infinity.

Statistical Properties of Interacting Bose Gases in Quasi-2D Harmonic Traps

The analytical probability distribution of the quasi-2D (and purely 2D) ideal and interacting Bose gas are investigated by using a canonical ensemble approach. Using the analytical probability distribution of the condensate, the statistical properties such as the mean occupation number and particle number fluctuations of the condensate are calculated. Researches show that there is a continuous crossover of the statistical properties from a quasi-2D to a purely 2D ideal or interacting gases. Different from the case of a 3D Bose gas, the interaction between atoms changes in a deep way the nature of the particle number fluctuations.

Probability Distributions and Particle Number Fluctuations of Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates in Different Dimensions

The analytical probability distribution of finite systems obeying Bose-Einstein statistics in one, two, and three dimensions are investigated by using a canonical ensemble approach. Starting from the canonical partition function of the system, a unified approach is provided to study the probability distribution of a condensate for various confinements and in different dimensions. Based on the probability distribution function, it is straightforward to obtain the mean ground state occupation number and particle number fluctuations of the condensate. It is found that the particle number fluctuations in a trapped Bose gas are strongly dependent on the type of confining potential and on the dimensionality of the system.

Canonical Statistics of Trapped Ideal and Interacting Bose Gases

The mean ground state occupation number and condensate fluctuations of interacting and non-interacting Bose gases confined in a harmonic trap are considered by using a canonical ensemble approach. To obtain the mean ground state occupation number and the condensate fluctuations, an analytical description for the probability distribution function of the condensate is provided directly starting from the analysis of the partition function of the system. For the ideal Bose gas, the probability distribution function is found to be a Gaussian one for the case of the harmonic trap. For the interacting Bose gas, using a unified approach the condensate fluctuations are calculated based on the lowest-order perturbation method and on Bogoliubov theory. It is found that the condensate fluctuations based on the lowest-order perturbation theory follow the law $ \sim N$, while the fluctuations based on Bogoliubov theory behave as $N^{4/3}$.

Fluctuations of the Condensate in Ideal and Interacting Bose Gases

We investigate the fluctuations of the condensate in the ideal and weakly interacting Bose gases confined in a box of volume V within canonical ensemble. Canonical ensemble is developed to describe the behavior of the fluctuations when different methods of approximation to the weakly interacting Bose gases are used. Research shows that the fluctuations of the condensate exhibit anomalous behavior for the interacting Bose gas confined in a box.

Dark Soliton Excitations in Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes

Dark soliton excitations are shown to exist in single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). At first, the nonlinear effective interatomic potential and the difference equation for longitudinal lattice displacement are obtained for the SWCNTs by expanding Brenner's many-body potential in a Taylor series up to fourth-order terms. Then using a multi-scale method, for short wavelength lattice excitations the equation of motion of lattice is reduced to the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Finally, the dark soliton solutions and relevant excitations in the SWCNTs with subsonic velocity are discussed.

Non-damped Acoustic Plasmon and Superconductivity in Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes

We show that non-damped acoustic plasmons exist in single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and propose that the non-damped acoustic plasmons may mediate electron-electron attraction and result in superconductivity in the SWCNT. The superconducting transition temperature Tc for the SWCNT (3,3) obtained by this mechanism agrees with the recent experimental result (Z. K. Tang et al, Science 292, 2462(2001)). We also show that it is possible to get higher Tc up to 99 K by doping the SWCNT (5,5).

Nonlinear Modulation of Multi-Dimensional Lattice Waves

The equations governing weakly nonlinear modulations of $N$-dimensional lattices are considered using a quasi-discrete multiple-scale approach. It is found that the evolution of a short wave packet for a lattice system with cubic and quartic interatomic potentials is governed by generalized Davey-Stewartson (GDS) equations, which include mean motion induced by the oscillatory wave packet through cubic interatomic interaction. The GDS equations derived here are more general than those known in the theory of water waves because of the anisotropy inherent in lattices. Generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations describing the evolution of long wavelength acoustic modes in two and three dimensional lattices are also presented. Then the modulational instability of a $N$-dimensional Stokes lattice wave is discussed based on the $N$-dimensional GDS equations obtained. Finally, the one- and two-soliton solutions of two-dimensional GDS equations are provided by means of Hirota's bilinear transformation method.

Critical Temperature and Condensate Fraction of the Trapped Interacting Bose Gas with Finite-size Effects

The critical temperature and condensate fraction of a trapped interacting Bose gas are investigated when both atom-atom interaction and finite-size effects are taken into account. Canonical ensemble is used to obtain the equations on the condensate fraction for the trapped interacting Bose gas near and below the critical temperature. In our approaches corrections due to atom-atom interaction and finite-size effects are obtained simultaneously for the critical temperature and condensate fraction of the system. Analytical high-order correction to the condensate fraction is given in this work.

Parametric Simultons in Nonlinear Lattices

Parametric simultaneous solitary wave (simulton) excitations are shown possible in nonlinear lattices. Taking a one-dimensional diatomic lattice with a cubic potential as an example we consider the nonlinear coupling between the upper cutoff mode of acoustic branch (as a fundamental wave) and the upper cutoff mode of optical branch (as a second harmonic wave). Based on a quasi-discreteness approach the Karamzin-Sukhorukov equations for two slowly varying amplitudes of the fundamental and the second harmonic waves in the lattice are derived when the condition of second harmonic generation is satisfied. The lattice simulton solutions are explicitly given and the results show that these lattice simultons can be nonpropagating when the wave vectors of the fundamental wave and the second harmonic waves are exactly at $π/a$ (where $a$ is the lattice constant) and zero, respectively.

Asymmetric gap soliton modes in diatomic lattices with cubic and quartic nonlinearity

Nonlinear localized excitations in one-dimensional diatomic lattices with cubic and quartic nonlinearity are considered analytically by a quasi-discreteness approach. The criteria for the occurence of asymmetric gap solitons (with vibrating frequency lying in the gap of phonon bands) and small-amplitude, asymmetric intrinsic localized modes (with the vibrating frequency being above all the phonon bands) are obtained explicitly based on the modulational instabilities of corresponding linear lattice plane waves. The expressions of particle displacement for all these nonlinear localized excitations are also given. The result is applied to standard two-body potentials of the Toda, Born-Mayer-Coulomb, Lennard-Jones, and Morse type. The comparison with previous numerical study of the anharmonic gap modes in diatomic lattices for the standard two-body potentials is made and good agreement is found.
