We observe the formation of shock waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate containing a large number of sodium atoms. The shock wave is initiated with a repulsive, blue-detuned light barrier, intersecting the BEC, after which two shock fronts…

When a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is driven out of equilibrium, density waves interact non-linearly and trigger turbulent cascades. In a turbulent BEC, energy is transferred towards small scales by a direct cascade, whereas the number…
