Periodic Modulation Effect on Self-Trapping of Two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein Condensates

With phase space analysis approach, we investigate thoroughly the self-trapping phenomenon for two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in a symmetric double-well potential. We identify two kinds of self-trapping by their different relative phase behavior. With applying a periodic modulation on the energy bias of the system we find the occurrence of the self-trapping can be controlled, saying, the transition parameters can be adjusted effectively by the periodic modulation. Analytic expressions for the dependence of the transition parameters on the modulation parameters are derived for high and low frequency modulations. For an intermediate frequency modulation, we find the resonance between the periodic modulation and nonlinear Rabi oscillation dramatically affects the tunnelling dynamics and demonstrate many novel phenomena. Finally, we study the effects of many-body quantum fluctuation on self-trapping and discuss the possible experimental realization of the model.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figure

Universal Properties of Fermi Gases in One-dimension

In this Rapid Communication, we investigate the universal properties of a spin-polarized two-component Fermi gas in one dimension (1D) using Bethe ansatz. We discuss the quantum phases and phase transitions by obtaining exact results for the equation of state, the contact, the magnetic susceptibility and the contact susceptibility, giving a precise understanding of the 1D analogue of the Bose-Einstein condensation and Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover in three dimension (3D) and the associated universal magnetic properties. In particular, we obtain the exact form of the magnetic susceptibility $\chi \sim {1}/{\sqrt{T}}\exp(-\Delta/T)$ at low temperatures, where $\Delta$ is the energy gap and $T$ is the temperature. Moreover, we establish exact upper and lower bounds for the relation between polarization $P$ and the contact $C$ for both repulsive and attractive Fermi gases. Our findings emphasize the role of the pair fluctuations in strongly interacting 1D fermion systems that can shed light on higher dimensions.Comment: 4 figures, the main pape
