We demonstrate that the ground state of a trapped spin-1 and spin-2 spinor ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can be well approximated by a single decoupled Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. Useful analytic models for the ground-state densities of ferromagnetic BECs are obtained from the Thomas-Fermi approximation (TFA) to this decoupled equation. Similarly, for the ground states of spin-1 antiferromagnetic and spin-2 antiferromagnetic and cyclic BECs, some of the spin-component densities are zero, which reduces the coupled GP equation to a simple reduced form. Analytic models for ground-state densities are also obtained for antiferromagnetic and cyclic BECs from the TFA to the respective reduced GP equations. The analytic densities are illustrated and compared with the full numerical solution of the GP equation with realistic experimental parameters.

Semi-implicit finite-difference methods to study the spin-orbit- and coherently-coupled spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Paramjeet Banger, Pardeep Kaur, Sandeep Gautam

Summary: We develop time-splitting finite-difference methods to study spin-orbit-coupled spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with coherent coupling. The split equations involving kinetic energy and spin-orbit-coupling operators are solved using implicit Backward-Euler and semi-implicit Crank-Nicolson methods. The methods are explicitly developed for pseudospin-1/2, spin-1, and spin-2 condensates. Results obtained with these methods are in agreement with popular methods and confirm the emergence of different phases in spin-orbit-coupled condensates.

Deep inelastic collision of two-dimensional anisotropic dipolar condensate solitons

Luis E. Young-S, S. K. Adhikari

Summary: The possibility of generating stable anisotropic solitons in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates leads to unique collision dynamics where collisions are quasi elastic at high velocities and inelastic at low velocities, resulting in the formation of coalesced solitons in different modes. The investigation was conducted numerically using the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study the statics and dynamics of anisotropic bright solitons in quasi two-dimensional BECs with polarized dipolar atoms.

Effect of quartic-quintic beyond-mean-field interactions on a self-bound dipolar droplet

Luis E. Young-S, S. K. Adhikari

Summary: This study investigates the effect of beyond-mean-field quantum-fluctuation (QF) Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) and three-body interactions on the formation of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) droplets. The size, shape, and energy of polarized 164Dy atom dipolar droplets are obtained using numerical and variational approximation methods.

FORTRESS: FORTRAN programs to solve coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations for spin-orbit coupled spin-f Bose-Einstein condensate with spin f =1 or 2

Paramjeet Banger, Pardeep Kaur, Arko Roy, Sandeep Gautam

Summary: This article provides updated versions of FORTRAN 90/95 programs parallelized with OpenMP for numerically studying the ground states and/or dynamics of homogeneous or trapped spin-1 or spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with anisotropic spin-orbit (SO) coupling. The coupled sets of three or five Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations for spin-1 or spin-2 BEC are solved using a time-splitting Fourier spectral method.

Supersolid-like square- and triangular-lattice crystallization of dipolar droplets in a box trap

Luis E. Young-S, S. K. Adhikari

Summary: In this paper, a model is used to demonstrate the crystallization of droplets in a polarized dipolar condensate in a three-dimensional trap. The droplet lattice is formed in a clean and distortion-free manner in the box traps, allowing for experimental observation of the droplet lattice with a reduced number of atoms compared to a harmonic trap.

Effective potentials in a rotating spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 spinor condensate

Paramjeet Banger, R. Kishor Kumar, Arko Roy, Sandeep Gautam

Summary: We systematically analyze the stationary-state vortex lattice configurations of rotating spin-orbit (SO)- and coherently-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in quasi-two-dimensional harmonic potentials from the single-particle perspective. We find that under specific coupling and rotation strengths, bosons in these condensates experience effective toroidal, symmetric double-well, or asymmetric double-well potentials. On rapid rotation, we further discover a similarity in the response between antiferromagnetic spin-1 BECs and ferromagnetic SO-coupled condensates, indicated by the spin-expectation per particle approaching unity.

Supersolid-like solitons in two-dimensional nonmagnetic spin-orbit coupled spin-1 and spin-2 condensates

Pardeep Kaur, Sandeep Gautam, S. K. Adhikari

Summary: We demonstrate the spontaneous generation of spatially-periodic supersolid-like super-lattice and stripe solitons in Rashba spin-orbit coupled spin-1 and spin-2 quasi-two-dimensional nonmagnetic Bose-Einstein condensates. The solitons in a weakly spin-orbit coupled spin-1 condensate are circularly-symmetric with inherent vorticity, while the solitons in an spin-orbit coupled spin-2 condensate have multiple types of circularly-symmetric shapes and can acquire a multiring structure with stronger coupling strengths. Additionally, quasi-degenerate stripe and super-lattice solitons emerge as excited stationary states for stronger spin-orbit coupling strengths.

Dipole-mode and scissors-mode oscillations of a dipolar supersolid

Luis E. Young-S., S. K. Adhikari

Summary: We study dipole-mode and scissors-mode oscillations of a dipolar supersolid arranged on a 1D or 2D lattice to test the stability of its crystalline structure under translation and rotation. Both quasi-1D and quasi-2D dipolar supersolids exhibit stable dipole-mode oscillations, while sustained angular scissors-mode oscillations are observed only in quasi-1D dipolar supersolids within a specific trap anisotropy range. The crystalline structure of the dipolar supersolid remains unaffected during the oscillations. The theoretical predictions of the oscillation frequency agree well with experimental results, with better agreement seen at higher droplet numbers and trap frequencies.

Mini droplet, mega droplet and stripe formation in a dipolar condensate

Luis E. Young-S, S. K. Adhikari

Summary: We demonstrate the formation of mini droplets, mega droplets, and stripe patterns in a dipolar 164Dy condensate using an improved mean-field model. The study shows the formation of mini droplets for small atom numbers, and the formation of mega droplets containing a large number of atoms along with a stripe pattern as the atom number increases.

Collective excitations in cigar-shaped spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates

Rajat, Arko Roy, Sandeep Gautam

Summary: We theoretically investigate the collective excitations of a spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate with antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interactions. We analyze the behavior of density and spin excitations at zero and finite temperatures using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. The results show that the presence of spin-orbit coupling breaks the degeneracy between a pair of spin modes.

Supersolid-like square- and honeycomb-lattice crystallization of droplets in a dipolar condensate

Luis E. Young-S, S. K. Adhikari

Summary: We observe the crystallization of droplets in square and honeycomb lattice structures in a quasi-two-dimensional trapped dipolar condensate. These three types of crystallization can occur under the same atomic interaction and trap frequencies. The energy of all three crystallizations follows a scaling relation with the number of atoms, indicating their energetic plausibility. The square lattice crystallization with an occupied central site is a potential candidate for future experimental observation.
