Dressed States of a two component Bose-Einstein Condensate

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

A condensate with two internal states coupled by external electromagnetic radiation, is described by coupled Gross Pitaevskii equations, whose eigenstates are analogous to the dressed states of quantum optics. We solve for these eigenstates numerically in the case of one spatial dimension, and explore their properties as a function of system parameters. In contrast to the quantum optical case, the condensate dressed states exhibit spatial behaviour which depends on the system parameters, and can be manipulated by changing the cw external field.
