Abstract

The general properties of the order parameter for a dipolar spinor Bose-Einstein condensate are discussed based on symmetries of interactions. An initially spin-polarized dipolar condensate is shown to dynamically generate a nonsingular vortex via spin-orbit interactions--a phenomenon reminiscent of the Einstein-de Haas effect in ferromagnets.

Tunable dipolar resonances and Einstein-de Haas effect in a {sup 87}Rb-atom condensate

Journal Article Swislocki, Tomasz ; Sowinski, Tomasz ; Pietraszewicz, Joanna ; ... - Physical Review. A

We theoretically study a spinor condensate of {sup 87}Rb atoms in a F=1 hyperfine state confined in an optical dipole trap. Putting initially all atoms in an m{sub F}=1, component we observe a significant transfer of atoms to other, initially empty Zeeman states exclusively due to dipolar forces. Because of conservation of a total angular momentum the atoms going to other Zeeman components acquire an orbital angular momentum and circulate around the center of the trap. This is a realization of the Einstein-de Haas effect in a system of cold gases. We show that the transfer of atoms via dipolarmore »« less

Vortex Lattices in Planar Bose-Einstein Condensates with Dipolar Interactions

Journal Article Zhang Jian ; Zhai Hui - Physical Review Letters

In this Letter, we investigate the effects of dipole-dipole interactions on the vortex lattices in fast rotating Bose-Einstein condensates. For single planar condensate, we show that the triangular lattice structure will be unfavorable when the s-wave interaction is attractive and exceeds a critical value. It will first change to a square lattice, and then become more and more flat with the increase of s-wave attraction, until the collapse of the condensate. For an array of coupled planar condensates, we discuss how the dipole-dipole interactions between neighboring condensates compete with quantum tunneling processes, which affects the relative displacement of two neighboringmore »« less

Two-Dimensional Bright Solitons in Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates

Journal Article Pedri, P. ; Santos, L. - Physical Review Letters

We analyze the physics of bright solitons in 2D dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. These solitons, which are not possible in short-range interacting gases, constitute the first realistic proposal of fully mobile stable 2D solitons in ultracold gases. In particular, we discuss the necessary conditions for the existence of stable 2D bright solitary waves by means of a 3D analysis of the lowest-lying excitations. We show that the anisotropy of the dipolar potential is crucial, since sufficiently large dipolar interactions can destabilize the 2D soliton. Additionally, we study the scattering of solitary waves, which, contrary to the contact-interacting case, is inelastic andmore »« less

Dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates with dipole-dependent scattering length

Journal Article Ronen, Shai ; Bortolotti, Daniele C. E. ; Blume, D. ; ... - Physical Review. A

We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate of polar molecules in a harmonic trap, where the effective dipole may be tuned by an external field. We demonstrate that taking into account the dependence of the scattering length on the dipole moment is essential to reproducing the correct energies and for predicting the stability of the condensate. We do this by comparing Gross-Pitaevskii calculations with diffusion Monte Carlo calculations. We find very good agreement between the results obtained by these two approaches once the dipole dependence of the scattering length is taken into account. We also examine the behavior of the condensate inmore » nonisotropic traps.« less

Spontaneous Circulation in Ground-State Spinor Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates

Journal Article Kawaguchi, Yuki ; Saito, Hiroki ; Ueda, Masahito ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report on a study of the spin-1 ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate with magnetic dipole-dipole interactions. By solving the nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii equations for this system, we find three ground-state phases. Moreover, we show that a substantial orbital angular momentum accompanied by chiral symmetry breaking emerges spontaneously in a certain parameter regime. We predict that all these phases can be observed in the spin-1 {sup 87}Rb condensate by changing the number of atoms or the trap frequency.
