Simple method for excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2 Statistical Mechanics Atomic Physics

Abstract

An appropriate, time-dependent modification of the trapping potential may be sufficient to create effectively collective excitations in a cold atom Bose-Einstein condensate. The proposed method is complementary to earlier suggestions and should allow the creation of both dark solitons and vortices.
