Interacting bosons in two-dimensional lattices with localized dissipation

Motivated by the recent experiment [Takafumi Tomita \emph{et al.}, Sci. Adv. {\bf 3}, (2017)], we study the dynamics of interacting bosons in a two-dimensional optical lattice with local dissipation. Together with the Gutzwiller mean-field theory for density matrices and Lindblad master equation, we show how the onsite interaction between bosons affects the particle loss for various strengths of dissipation. For moderate dissipation, the trend in particle loss differs significantly near the superfluid-Mott boundary than the deep superfluid regime. While the loss is suppressed for stronger dissipation in the deep superfluid regime, revealing the typical quantum Zeno effect, the loss near the phase boundary shows non-monotonic dependence on the dissipation strength. We furthermore show that close to the phase boundary, the long-time dynamics is well contrasted with the dissipative dynamics deep into the superfluid regime. Thus the loss of particle due to dissipation may act as a probe to differentiate strongly-correlated superfluid regime from its weakly-correlated counterpart.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure

Thermal suppression of phase separation in condensate mixtures

We examine the role of thermal fluctuations in binary condensate mixtures of dilute atomic gases. In particular, we use Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov with Popov approximation to probe the impact of non-condensate atoms to the phenomenon of phase-separation in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. We demonstrate that, in comparison to $T=0$, there is a suppression in the phase-separation of the binary condensates at $T\neq0$. This arises from the interaction of the condensate atoms with the thermal cloud. We also show that, when $T\neq0$ it is possible to distinguish the phase-separated case from miscible from the trends in the correlation function. However, this is not the case at $T=0$.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Ramifications of topology and thermal fluctuations in quasi-2D condensates

We explore the topological transformation of quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases, and changes in the low-energy quasiparticles associated with the geometry of the confining potential. In particular, we show the density profile of the condensate and quantum fluctuation follow the transition from a multiply to a simply connected geometry of the confining potential. The thermal fluctuations, in contrast, remain multiply connected. The genesis of the key difference lies in the structure of the low-energy quasiparticles. For which we use the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov, and study the evolution of quasiparticles, the dipole or the Kohn mode in particular. We, then employ the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with the Popov approximation to investigate the density and the momentum distribution of the thermal atoms.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure

Evolution of Goldstone mode in binary condensate mixtures

We show that the third Goldstone mode in the two-species condensate mixtures, which emerges at phase-separation, gets hardened when the confining potentials have separated trap centers. The {\em sandwich} type condensate density profiles, in this case, acquire a {\em side-by-side} density profile configuration. We use Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with Popov approximation to examine the mode evolution and density profiles for these phase transitions at $T=0$.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. Some part of the theory is common to arXiv:1307.5716 and arXiv:1405:6459, so that the article is self-contained for the benefit of the reader

Collective modes in multicomponent condensates with anisotropy

We report the effects of anisotropy in the confining potential on two component Bose-Einstein condensates (TBECs) through the properties of the low energy quasiparticle excitations. Starting from generalized Gross Pitaevskii equation, we obtain the Bogoliubov de-Gennes (BdG) equation for TBECs using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory. Based on this theory, we present the influence of radial anisotropy on TBECs in the immiscible or the phase-separated domain. In particular, the TBECs of $^{85}$Rb~-$^{87}$Rb and $^{133}$Cs~-$^{87}$Rb TBECs are chosen as specific examples of the two possible interface geometries, shell-structured and side by side, in the immiscible domain. We also show that the dispersion relation for the TBEC shell-structured interface has two branches, and anisotropy modifies the energy scale and structure of the two branches.Comment: 9 pages, 13 figure

Bifurcations, stability, and mode evolution in segregated condensate mixtures

We present new features of low energy Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitations of a two component Bose-Einstein condensate (TBEC) in quasi-2D geometry at zero temperature using Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB). We, in particular, consider the TBECs of $^{133}$Cs~-$^{87}$Rb and $^{85}$Rb~-$^{87}$Rb, and show specific features in the low energy excitation spectrum as a function of the interaction strength. For $^{85}$Rb~-$^{87}$Rb TBEC, the appearance of a new zero energy mode is observed. Whereas for $^{133}$Cs~-$^{87}$Rb TBEC we report a bifurcation of the softened Kohn mode at the point of transition from miscible to immiscible domain. The lower energy mode, after the bifurcation, goes soft and becomes a new Goldstone mode of the system.Comment: The paper has 9 pages and 12 figure

Design and characterization of a quantum heat pump in a driven quantum gas

We propose the implementation of a quantum heat pump with ultracold atoms. It is based on two periodically driven coherently coupled quantum dots using ultracold atoms. Each dot possesses two relevant quantum states and is coupled to a fermionic reservoir. The working principle is based on energy-selective driving-induced resonant tunneling processes, where a particle that tunnels from one dot to the other either absorbs or emits the energy quantum $\hbar\omega$ associated with the driving frequency, depending on its energy. We characterize the device using Floquet theory and compare simple analytical estimates to numerical simulations based on the Floquet-Born-Markov formalism. In particular, we show that driving-induced heating is directly linked to the micromotion of the Floquet states of the system.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

FORTRESS: FORTRAN programs for solving coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations for spin-orbit coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate

Here, we present simple and efficient numerical scheme to study static and dynamic properties of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with spin-orbit (SO) coupling by solving three coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations (CGPEs) in three-, quasi-two and quasi-one dimensional systems. We provide a set of three codes developed in FORTRAN 90/95 programming language with user defined '{\em option}' of imaginary and real-time propagation. We present the numerical results for energy, chemical potentials, and component densities for the ground state and compare with the available results from the literature. The results are presented for both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin-1 BECs with and without SO coupling. To improve the computational speed, all the codes have the option of OpenMP parallelization. We have also presented the results for speedup and efficiency of OpenMP parallelization for the three codes with both imaginary and real-time propagation
