We investigate several mechanisms of vortex creation during splitting of a spinor BEC in a magnetic trap controlled by a pair of current carrying wires and bias magnetic fields. Our study is motivated by a recent MIT experiment on splitting BECs with a similar trap, where unexpected fork-like structure appeared in the interference fringes correspon...

The formation of vortices by topological phase engineering has been realized experimentally to create the first two- and four-quantum vortices in dilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. We consider a similar system, but in addition to the Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic trap we employ an additional hexapole field. By controlling cyclically the strengths...
Magnetic field can penetrate into type-II superconductors in the form of Abrikosov vortices, which are magnetic flux tubes surrounded by circulating supercurrents often trapped at defects referred to as pinning sites. Although the average properties of the vortex matter can be tuned with magnetic fields, temperature or electric currents, handling o...
Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute ultracold alkali atom gases was achieved in 1995, and since then, these highly controllable macroscopic quantum systems have attracted wide interest. The dilute condensates provide a rare opportunity to model interacting many-body systems exhaustively and accurately from first-principles quantum field theories....
We measured the profiles of the trapped field, BT, on a thin Gd-Ba-Cu-O superconducting bulk plate with 45 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness magnetized by the pulsed field, where Gd-Ba-Cu-O consists of a superconducting matrix phase of GdBa2Cu3O7−δ and a nonsuperconducting secondary phase of Gd2BaCuO5. The vortices were mainly trapped at the per...

Most of the atoms that realize Bose-Einstein condensation have internal spin degree of freedom. In the optical potential trap, the internal spin of the atom is thawed, and the atom can be condensed into each hyperfine quantum state to form the spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. Flexible spin degrees of freedom become dynamic variables related to the system, which can make the system appear novel topological quantum states, such as spin domain wall, vortex, magnetic monopole, skymion, and so on. In this paper, the experimental and theoretical study of spinor Bose-Einstein condensation, the types of topological defects in spinor Bose-Einstein condensate, and the research progress of topological defects in spinor two-component and three-component Bose-Einstein condensate are reviewed.
We present an innovative approach for ultra-precise phase manipulation in integrated photonic quantum circuits. To this end, we employ generalized directional couplers that utilize a detuning of the propagation constant in optical waveguides by the overlap of adjacent waveguide modes. We demonstrate our findings in experiments with classical as well as quantum light.
We study dynamics of a nonlinear three-level Λ system describing Bose-Einstein condensates of atoms and diatomic molecules coupled by a two-color laser field. The system has a nonlinear dark state which is a generalization of the usual atomic dark state. In the recent paper [ A. P. Itin and S. Watanabe Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 223903 (2007)], nonlinear instabilities of the dark state due to 1:1 and 1:2 resonances were discussed in the model without mean-field collisional interactions. Here we investigate the dark state of a model with collisional interactions. We show that nonlinear instabilities can be used, in particular, for precise determination of the scattering lengths.
We discuss the dynamics of approximate adiabatic invariants in several nonlinear models being related to the physics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We show that the nonadiabatic dynamics in Feshbach resonance passage, nonlinear Landau-Zener (NLZ) tunneling, and BEC tunneling oscillations in a double well can be considered within a unifying approach based on the theory of separatrix crossings. The separatrix crossing theory was applied previously to some problems of classical mechanics, plasma physics, and hydrodynamics, but has not been used in the rapidly growing BEC-related field yet. We derive explicit formulas for the change in the action in several models. Extensive numerical calculations support the theory and demonstrate its universal character. We also discovered a nonlinear phenomenon in the NLZ model which we propose to call separated adiabatic tunneling.
