Title: Ground-state structure and stability of dipolar condensates in
anisotropic traps
Authors: O. Dutta and P. Meystre
Categories: cond-mat.other
Subj-class: Other
\\
We study the Hartree ground state of a dipolar condensate of atoms or
molecules in an three-dimensional anisotropic geometry and at T=0. We determine
the stability of the condensate as a function of the aspect ratios of the trap
frequencies and of the dipolar strength. We find numerically a rich phase space
structure characterized by various structures of the ground-state density
profile.

Title: Comment on ``Nonlinear band structure in Bose-Einstein condensates:
Nonlinear Sch\"odinger equation with a Kronig Penney potential"

Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 3 pages, 3 figures

\\
In their recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 71, 033622], B. T. Seaman et al. studied
Bloch states of the condensate wave function in a Kronig-Penney potential and
calculated the band structure. They argued that the effective mass is always
positive when a swallow-tail energy loop is present in the band structure. In
this comment, we reexamine their argument by actually calculating the effective
mass. It is found that there exists a region where the effective mass is
negative even when a swallow-tail is present. Based on this fact, we discuss
the interpretation of swallow-tails in terms of superfluidity.

Title: Kolmogorov and Kelvin-Wave Cascades of Superfluid Turbulence at T=0:
What is in Between?
Authors: Evgeny Kozik and Boris Svistunov
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 4 RevTex pages, 1 figure
Subj-class: Other
\\
As long as vorticity quantization remains irrelevant for the long-wave
physics, superfluid turbulence supports a regime macroscopically identical to
the Kolmogorov cascade of a normal liquid. At high enough wavenumbers, the
energy flux in the wavelength space is carried by individual Kelvin-wave
cascades on separate vortex lines. We analyze the transformation of the
Kolmogorov cascade into the Kelvin-wave cascade, revealing a chain of three
distinct intermediate cascades, supported by local-induction motion of the
vortex lines, and distinguished by specific reconnection mechanisms. The most
prominent qualitative feature predicted is unavoidable production of vortex
rings of the size of the order of inter-vortex distance.

We study the localization of particles rotating in a two-dimensional harmonic
potential by solving their rotational spectrum using many-particle quantum
mechanics and comparing the result to that obtained with quantizing the rigid
rotation and vibrational modes of localized particles. We show that for a small
number of particles the localization is similar for bosons and fermions.
Moreover, independent of the range of the interaction the quantum mechanical
spectrum at large angular momenta can be understood by vibrational modes of
localized particles.

An exact boson mapping of the reduced BCS (equal strength) pairing
Hamiltonian is considered. In the mapping, fermion pair operators are mapped
exactly to the corresponding bosons. The image of the mapping results in a
Bose-Hubbard model with level dependent hopping. Though the resultant
Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian, all eigenvalues are real when Uk/t<
1, where k is the total number of bosons. When U/t=1, a part of spectrum of the
Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian corresponds exactly to the whole spectrum of the
reduced BCS pairing Hamiltonian.

We have produced and detected molecules using a p-wave Feshbach resonance
between $^{40}$K atoms. We have measured the binding energy and lifetime for
these molecules and we find that the binding energy scales approximately
linearly with magnetic field near the resonance. The lifetime of bound p-wave
molecules is measured to be $1.0 \pm 0.1$ ms and $2.3 \pm 0.2$ ms for the $m_l
= \pm 1$ and $m_l = 0$ angular momentum projections, respectively. At magnetic
fields above the resonance, we detect quasi-bound molecules whose lifetime is
set by the tunneling rate through the centrifugal barrier.

Soliton solutions of strongly coupled Bose-Einstein condensate and their
coherent control is demonstrated analytically, in the presence of a harmonic
trap. In particular, a soliton solution with ${\it W}$ type density profile,
well suited for trapping of neutral atoms, is found whose minima locations can
be precisely controlled. Soliton complex, containing a singular soliton
exhibiting matter wave self-focussing, as also bright solitons are obtained as
exact solutions in the attractive regime. We derive the conditions of
modulational instability in the strong interaction regime.

We propose and analyze a scheme that makes use of interactions between spins
to protect certain correlated many-body states from decoherence. The method
exploits the finite energy gap of properly designed Hamiltonians to generate a
manifold insensitive to local noise fluctuations. We apply the scheme to
achieve decoherence-resistant generation of many particle GHZ states and show
that it can improve the sensitivity in precision spectroscopy with trapped
ions. Finally we also show that cold atoms in optical lattices interacting via
short range interactions can be utilized to engineer the required long range
interactions for a robust generation of entangled states.

We report on shot noise measurements in carbon nanotube based Fabry-Perot
electronic interferometers. As a consequence of quantum interferences, the
noise power spectral density oscillates as a function of the voltage applied to
the gate electrode. The quantum shot noise theory accounts for the data
quantitatively. It allows to confirm the existence of two nearly degenerate
orbitals. At resonance, the transmission of the nanotube approaches unity, and
the nanotube becomes noiseless, as observed in quantum point contacts. In this
weak backscattering regime, the dependence of the noise on the backscattering
current is found weaker than expected, pointing either to electron-electron
interactions or to weak decoherence.

the dipolar collisions. We detail how to modify the shape and the strength of
the long-range part of interaction potentials, which can be utilized to realize
interesting quantum phases in the context of cold molecular gases.

We put forward a scheme for controlling Josephson-like tunneling in
two-component Bose-Einstein condensates coupled with microwave field via
Feshbach resonance and tuning aspect ratio of trapping potential. We prove how
to realize a perfect periodic oscillation from a fast damped and irregular
oscillation on relative number of atoms in future experiment. In particular,
intensity of Josephson-like tunneling can be successfully controlled through
controlling speed of recovering the initial value of intra-atomic interaction
and aspect ratio of trapping potential. Interestingly, we find that relative
number of atoms represents two different types of oscillation in respond to
periodic modulation of attractive intra-atomic interaction.

Title: Quantum versus classical statistical dynamics of an ultracold Bose gas

Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 19 pages, 10 figures
Subj-class: Other
\\
We investigate the conditions under which quantum fluctuations are relevant
for the quantitative interpretation of experiments with ultracold Bose gases.
This requires to go beyond the description in terms of the Gross-Pitaevskii and
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field theories, which can be obtained as classical
(statistical) field-theory approximations of the quantum many-body problem. We
employ functional-integral techniques based on the two-particle irreducible
(2PI) effective action. The role of quantum fluctuations is studied within the
nonperturbative 2PI 1/N expansion to next-to-leading order. At this accuracy
level memory-integrals enter the dynamic equations, which differ for quantum
and classical statistical descriptions. This can be used to obtain a
'classicality' condition for the many-body dynamics. We exemplify this
condition by studying the nonequilibrium evolution of a 1D Bose gas of sodium
atoms, and discuss some distinctive properties of quantum versus classical
statistical dynamics.

Comments: 8 pages, 3 figures
Subj-class: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology; Superconductivity
\\
We investigate the BCS-BEC crossover at zero temperature in the frame of a
relativistic model. Due to the nontrivial role of the fermion mass, the
universality of the BCS-BEC crossover for non-relativistic systems breaks down
in relativistic case and the crossover can be induced by changing the density.
When the effective scattering length is much less than the fermion Compton
wavelength, we recover the non-relativistic result if the gas is initially in
non-relativistic state. At ultra-strong coupling where the scattering length is
of the order of the Compton wavelength, a new BEC state appears. In this state
the condensed bosons become nearly massless and anti-fermions are excited. The
behavior of the Goldstone mode and the mixing between the amplitude and phase
modes are significantly different in different condensed regions.

The recent interest in aspects common to quantum information and condensed
matter has prompted a prosperous activity at the border of these disciplines
that were far distant until few years ago. Numerous interesting questions have
been addressed so far. Here we review an important part of this field, the
properties of the entanglement in many-body systems. We discuss the zero and
finite temperature properties of entanglement in interacting spin, fermionic
and bosonic model systems. Both bipartite and multipartite entanglement will be
considered. At equilibrium we emphasize on how entanglement is connected to the
phase diagram of the underlying model. The behavior of entanglement can be
related, via certain witnesses, to thermodynamic quantities thus offering
interesting possibilities for an experimental test. Out of equilibrium we
discuss how to generate and manipulate entangled states by means of many-body
Hamiltonians.

We report for the first time, laser spectroscopy of the 1S0 - 3P0 clock
transition in 27Al+. A single aluminum ion and a single beryllium ion are
simultaneously confined in a linear Paul trap, coupled by their mutual Coulomb
repulsion. This coupling allows the beryllium ion to sympathetically cool the
aluminum ion, and also enables transfer of the aluminum's electronic state to
the beryllium's hyperfine state, which can be measured with high fidelity.
These techniques are applied to a measurement of the clock transition

We show that by raising the lattice "adiabatically" as in all current optical
lattice experiments on bosons, even though the temperature may decrease
initially, it will eventually rise linearly with lattice height, taking the
system further away from quantum degeneracy. This increase is {\rm intrinsic}
and is caused by the {\em adiabatic compression} during the raising of red
detuned lattices. However, the origin of this heating, which is {\em entirely
different} from that in the bulk, also shows that one can {\em reverse} the
temperature rise to reach quantum degeneracy by {\em adiabatic expansion},
which can be achieved by using blue detuned lasers.

We have measured the critical atom number in a harmonically trapped
two-dimensional (2D) Bose gas of rubidium atoms at different temperatures. We
found this number to be about five times higher than predicted by the
semi-classical theory of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the ideal gas.
This demonstrates that the conventional BEC picture is inapplicable in an
interacting 2D atomic gas, in sharp contrast to the three-dimensional case. A
simple heuristic model based on the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless theory of
2D superfluidity and the local density approximation accounts well for our
experimental results.

Title: A Proposed Casimir-Like Effect Between Contaminants in Ideal
Bose-Einstein Condensates
Authors: Alexander Oshmyansky
Categories: cond-mat.other
Comments: 9 pages. Submitted to Physics Review A
Subj-class: Other
\\
It is hypothesized that, within Bose-Einstein condensates, contaminants will
form a potential that effects the energy state of a condensate. While assuming
a system governed by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, contaminants are modelled
as boundary conditions for the wave function of the condensate. It is then
found that the energy of the system depends directly upon the distance between
contaminants. Energy is minimized as two particles either come together or move
apart depending on the nature of the condensate. This is due to the presence of
induced standing waves in the condensate between two contaminants, similar to
the attractive effect caused by standing electromagnetic waves in a vacuum, the
Casimir effect. Quantum calculations are also done to determine the expected
strength of the "contaminant in condensate" effect.
