We investigate the properties of a three-dimensional (3D) dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double-well potential (DWP). Symmetry breaking and tunneling dynamics phenomena are demonstrated for 164Dy atoms in the 3D DWP using an effective two-mode model. The results show that the symmetry properties of the dynamics are affected markedly by the long-range nature and anisotropy of the dipolar interaction and the isotropic contact interaction.

Double Well Potential

We investigate the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a Bose-Einstein condensate in a PT symmetric double-well potential by means of the time-dependent variational principle and numerically exact solutions. A one-dimensional and a fully three-dimensional setup are used. Stationary states are determined and the propagation of wave function is investigated using the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Due to the nonlinearity of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation the potential dependson the wave function and its solutions decide whether or not the Hamiltonian itself is PT symmetric. Stationary solutions with real energy eigenvalues fulfilling exact PT symmetry are found as well as PT broken eigenstates with complex energies. The latter describe decaying or growing probability amplitudes and are not true stationary solutions of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. However, they still provide qualitative information about the time evolution of the wave functions.

Abstract We study Bose-Einstein condensation of comparatively small numbers of atoms trapped by a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. Under the assumption that grand canonical statis­tics applies, we derive analytical expressions for the condensation temperature, the ground state occupation, and the specific heat capacity. For a gas of TV atoms the condensation temperature is proportional to N1/3, apart from a downward shift of order N-1/3. A signature of the condensation is a pronounced peak of the heat capacity. For not too small N the heat capacity is nearly discon­tinuous at the onset of condensation; the magnitude of the jump is about 6.6 N k. Our continuum approximations are derived with the help of the proper density of states which allows us to calculate finite-AT-corrections, and checked against numerical computations.

AbstractWe propose a new scheme for creating three-dimensional Skyrmions in a ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate by manipulating a multipole magnetic field and a pair of counter-propagating laser beams. The result shows that a three-dimensional Skyrmion with topological number Q = 2 can be created by a sextupole magnetic field and the laser beams. Meanwhile, the vortex ring and knot structure in the Skyrmion are found. The topological number can be calculated analytically in our model, which implies that the method can be extended to create Skyrmions with arbitrary topological number. As the examples, three-dimensional Skyrmions with Q = 3, 4 are also demonstrated and are distinguishable by the density distributions with a specific quantization axis. These topological objects have the potential to be realized in ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates experimentally.

We analyze the effects caused by an anomalous single-particle dispersion relation suggested in several quantum-gravity models, upon the thermodynamics of a Bose–Einstein condensate trapped in a generic three-dimensional power-law potential. We prove that the shift in the condensation temperature, caused by a deformed dispersion relation, described as a non-trivial function of the number of particles and the shape associated to the corresponding trap, could provide bounds for the parameters associated to such deformation. In addition, we calculate the fluctuations in the number of particles as a criterium of thermodynamic stability for these systems. We show that the apparent instability caused by the anomalous fluctuations in the thermodynamic limit can be suppressed considering the lowest energy associated to the system in question.

In this work, we study the nonlinear Josephson dynamics of Fermi superfluids in the crossover from Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double-well potential. Under a two-mode approximation, we derive a full two-mode (fTM) model including all interaction energy terms. By solving the fTM model numerically, we study the zero-phase and [Formula: see text]-phase modes of Josephson oscillations in the BCS–BEC crossover. We find that in the strongly interacting regime the cross interaction terms not appearing in the two-mode model cannot be easily ignored. The cross interactions can alter the behaviors of Josephson dynamics substantially, and interestingly the alterations for the zero-phase and [Formula: see text]-phase modes are just opposite.
