Can quantum mechanical thermodynamic engines outperform their classical counterparts? To address one aspect of this question, we experimentally realize and characterize an isentropic thermodynamic engine that uses a Bose-condensed working…
We consider spin-orbit coupled Bose Einstein Condensate in presence of linear and nonlinear optical lattices within the framework of quasi-one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The population imbalance between the states changes…
We theoretically investigate in-medium three-body correlations in one-dimensional spinless fermions with antisymmetrized two- and three-body attractive interactions. By investigating the variational problem of three-body states above the…
Half a century ago, T. Kibble proposed a scenario for topological defect formation from symmetry breaking during the expansion of the early Universe. W. Zurek later crystallized the concept to superfluid helium, predicting a power-law…
We investigate the vortex lattice configuration in a rotating spin orbit-coupled spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a quasi-two-dimensional harmonic trap. By considering the interplay between rotation frequency, spin-orbit…
We investigate the transport properties of a Fermi-Hubbard chain with an impurity which is formed by a site with a periodically modulated chemical potential. We determine the momentum resolved transmission through this impurity in…
We study the current-voltage characteristics of a superconducting junction with particle losses at the contacts. We adopt the Keldysh formalism to compute the steady-state current for varying transmission of the contact. In the low…
Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work both in the classical and quantum regimes. However, quantum theory offers genuine nonclassical forms of energy, different from heat, which so far have not been exploited in cyclic…
Bose polarons are quasiparticles formed through the interaction between impurities and Bose-Einstein condensates. In this paper, we derive an effective Fr\"{o}hlich Hamiltonian using the generalized Bogoliubov transformation. The effective…
We construct the simplest density functional for the problem of a single impurity interacting with a Fermi gas via a long--ranged potential using the Thomas--Fermi approach. We find that the Fermi polaron is fully bosonized in two…
We develop a simulation method for evaporative cooling of trapped Bose-Einstein condensate at finite temperatures using Zaremba-Nikuni-Griffin (ZNG) formalism. ZNG formalism includes the generalized GP equation and a semiclassical kinetic…
Creation of stable intrinsically anisotropic self-bound states with embedded vorticity is a challenging issue. Previously, no such states in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) or other physical settings were known. Dipolar BEC suggests a…
We report the creation of ultracold ground state $^{6}\textrm{Li}^{40}\textrm{K}$ polar molecules with high efficiency. Starting from weakly-bound molecules state, stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is adopted to coherently…
We consider a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) with on-site double-well potentials and study the effect of nearest-neighbor repulsion and cavity-mediated long-range interactions by calculating the ground-state phase diagrams with…
When single-particle dynamics are suppressed in certain strongly correlated systems, dipoles arise as elementary carriers of quantum kinetics. These dipoles can further condense, providing physicists with a rich realm to study fracton…
We employ the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method to study the finite-temperature properties of the half-filled attractive SU($3$) Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. We calculate the phase diagram in which the phase boundary separates…
We demonstrate the use of a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate as a rotation sensor by measuring the interference between two counter-propagating phonon modes imprinted azimuthally around the ring. We observe rapid decay of the…
The spin-orbit coupling plays an important role in the spin Hall effect and the topological insulators. In addition, the spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates show remarkable quantum many-body phase transition. In this work we tune…
We study two-body correlations in a spin-balanced ultracold harmonically trapped Fermi gas of $^6$Li atoms in the crossover from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to the Bose-Einstein-Condensate (BEC) regime. For this, we precisely…
We investigate the excitation spectrum and compressibility of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in an infinite tube potential in the parameter regime where the transition between superfluid and supersolid phases occurs. Our study focuses…
