Single component and binary mixtures of BECs in a double-well Bruno Juliá-Díaz Departament d’Estructura i Constituents de la Matèria Universitat de Barcelona (Spain) In collaboration with: D. Dagnino, M. Guilleumas, M. Lewenstein, J. Martorell, M. Melé-Messeguer, A. Polls Summary 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Introduction Single component case Static properties of the two-site Bose-Hubbard hamiltonian Mean-field vs exact dynamics (brief) Binary mixtures of BECs B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Josephson (GP) 1150 atoms 87Rb, trap conditions as in Albiez/Oberthaler The initial phase is set to ZERO for all z Definitions (standard): Z(t) = (Nleft(t)-Nright(t))/Ntotal Phase difference= =right-left B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Self trapping (GP) 1150 atoms, trap conditions as before If the initial imbalance is large enough, no Josephson oscillation occurs. Instead a self trapping regime appears Smerzi et al. (1997) This is a genuine effect of having atom-atom contact interactions B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Experimentally… Albiez et al. (2005) B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 A simple, but many-body H Lets consider the following two-site Bose-Hubbard model: J: hopping parameter >0 U: atom-atom interaction >0 (proportional to g)(attractive) Epsilon: Bias>0, promotes the left well The bias is here taken very small, Epsilon<<J It is customary to define, =NU/J Milburn et al (1997) B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 One body density matrix The one body density matrix reads, 1 aL aL N aR aL aL aR aR aR Eigenvalues, n1+n2=1 If the system is fully condensed, then the eigenvalues are 1 and 0. The eigenvector corresponding to 1 is, Departure from 0,1 indicates the system is fragmented B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 semiclassics The semiclassics is governed by the well known: z: : 2J: population imbalance, (NL-NR)/N phase difference, R-L Rabi time (the time it takes for the atoms to go from left to right and back in absence of atomatom interactions) Smerzi et al. (1997) (Assuming a two mode ansatz for the Gross Pitaevskii equation) B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Ground and highest excited state With the usual base: |ck|2 Black, ground state Red, highest excited |NL,NR>={|N-k,k>}= { |N,0>,|N-1,1>,…,|0,N>} Cat-like state The hamiltonian can be written as an N+1 square matrix (here 50+1) Any N particle vector can be written as, B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Properties of the whole spectrum =0 GS: binomial =4 In the plot, x-axis: k index y-axis: eigenvector index 1, ground, N+1 highest excited Color, proportional to |ck|2 GS: Cat-like =8 GS: Trapped =12 GS: Trapped N=50, bias=J/10^10 B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Population imbalance Ground state: imbalance NU/J Blue dashed: Semiclassical prediction: sqrt(1-4/^2) Red solid: quantum result for the imbalance Band: dispersion of the imbalance Julia-Diaz, Dagnino, Lewenstein, Martorell, Polls, PRA (2010) N=50, bias=J/10^10 B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Variation with N The semiclassical behavior is the same in all cases (the bias is taken the same) The size of the highly disperse region decreases abruptly as N is increased For which value of does the ‘quantum hop’ take place? It turns out to be an interesting interplay between N, U, J and the bias: Julia-Diaz, Martorell, Polls (2010) B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Dispersion of z versus N and B.

Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 For fixed N and starting from a ‘meanfield’ like state: •The smaller the interaction, the better the meanfield describes the exact result. •Fragmentation builds up with time Population imbalance And orbital ocupations Time evolution of |N,0 Blue solid: Semiclassical Black solid: quantum for the imbalance Red dashed: n1, black dotted, n2 N=50, epsilon=J/10^10 B.

Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Time evolution of |N,0 Population imbalance And orbitalocupations When starting from a ‘mean-field state’: •For small N (here 10), clear deviations are quickly seen (less than a Rabi time here) between the mean-field/semiclassics results and the full quantum behavior •Correspondingly, the cloud is far from condensed as time evolves t/tRabi B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Time evolution of |N,0 Population imbalance And orbitalocupations When starting from a ‘mean-field state’: •For large N (here 1000), the mean field provides an excellent account of the full dynamics during long times (here almost two Rabi periods) •The cloud, thus, remains condensed for a while. t/tRabi B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Binary mixtures (just a taste) B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Binary Mixture 1150 atoms, trap conditions as the Heidelberg experiment. We consider now the other limit: (50%,0%,50%) configuration The initial phases are all ZERO Initial population imbalances are: z1 (0) = - z-1(0) Note there would be no josephson at all if both components were just one A longer oscillation is seen. B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 Binary Mixture (II) 1150 atoms, We consider a (98%,0%,2%) configuration The initial phases are all ZERO Initial population imbalances are: z1 (0) = - z-1(0) The most populated component follows the usual Josephson oscillation The less populated one follows the most populated one (“anti-Josephson”). B. Juliá-Díaz, Trobades Científiques de la Mediterrània, Menorca, 2010 A novel way of extracting a0 and a2 We proposed an experimental way of accessing the spin independent and spin dependent scattering lenghts: a0 and a2 The key points are: a) Consider a binary mixture made by populating the (F=1, m=1) and (F=1, m=-1) states of an F=1 spinor. In this way, gaa=gbb~gab b) Perform two measurements: 1) highly polarized, Na>>Nb 2) Na~Nb and za(0)=-zb(0) c) Extract from za(t) and zb(t) the scattering lengths.
