A Bose-Einstein condensate is created in a simple and robust miniature Ioffe-Pritchard trap, the so-called Z trap. This trap follows from the mere combination of a Z-shaped current carrying wire and a homogeneous bias field. The…
It is well-known that a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate forms vortices to carry the angular momentum. For a first vortex to nucleate at the trap center, the rotational frequency must become larger than a certain critical value. The vortex…

We study the behavior of a Bose-Einstein condensate held in an optical lattice. We first show how a self-trapping transition can be induced in the system by either increasing the number of atoms occupying a lattice site, or by raising the…
We analytically and numerically study the ground state and collective dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in two traps: a Newtonian potential and a logarithmic potential inspired by Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). In the ground state,…
A trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, being strongly perturbed, exhibits several spatial structures. First, there appear quantum vortices. Increasing the amount of the injected energy leads to the formation of vortex tangles representing…

The paradigm of Bose-Einstein condensation has been associated with zero momentum to which a macroscopic fraction of bosons condense. Here we propose a new quantum state where bosonic alkali-metal atoms condense at non-zero momenta, defying…
Flows involving liquid-coated grains are ubiquitous in nature (pollen capture, avalanches) and industry (air filtration, smoke-particle agglomeration, pharmaceutical mixing). In this work, three-body collisions between liquid-coated spheres…
