Magnetic soliton is an intriguing nonlinear topological excitation that carries magnetic charges while featuring a constant total density. So far, it has only been studied in the ultracold atomic gases with the framework of the equilibrium physics, where its stable existence crucially relies on a nearly spin-isotropic, antiferromagnetic, interaction. Here, we demonstrate that magnetic soliton can appear as the exact solutions of dissipative Gross–Pitaevskii equations in a linearly polarized spinor polariton condensate with the framework of the non-equilibrium physics, even though polariton interactions are strongly spin anisotropic. This is possibly due to a dissipation-enabled mechanism, where spin excitation decouples from other excitation channels as a result of gain-and-loss balance. Such unconventional magnetic soliton transcends constraints of equilibrium counterpart and provides a novel kind of spin-polarized polariton soliton for potential application in opto-spintronics.

AbstractPlasma dynamics critically depends on density and temperature, thus well-controlled experimental realizations are essential benchmarks for theoretical models. The formation of an ultracold plasma can be triggered by ionizing a tunable number of atoms in a micrometer-sized volume of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by a single femtosecond laser pulse. The large density combined with the low temperature of the BEC give rise to an initially strongly coupled plasma in a so far unexplored regime bridging ultracold neutral plasma and ionized nanoclusters. Here, we report on ultrafast cooling of electrons, trapped on orbital trajectories in the long-range Coulomb potential of the dense ionic core, with a cooling rate of 400 K ps−1. Furthermore, our experimental setup grants direct access to the electron temperature that relaxes from 5250 K to below 10 K in less than 500 ns.

AbstractWe consider the Fröhlich Hamiltonian in a mean-field limit where many bosonic particles weakly couple to the quantized phonon field. For large particle numbers and a suitably small coupling, we show that the dynamics of the system is approximately described by the Landau–Pekar equations. These describe a Bose–Einstein condensate interacting with a classical polarization field, whose dynamics is effected by the condensate, i.e., the back-reaction of the phonons that are created by the particles during the time evolution is of leading order.
