We show that an ensemble of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a one dimensional optical lattice can undergo a ferromagnetic phase transition and spontaneous magnetization arises due to the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction. This…
We investigate the ground-state phases and spin-scissors dynamics of binary Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a twisted two-dimensional harmonic trap. The ground state hosts three distinct phases-phase-separated, polarized, and…
We describe the setup to create a large Bose-Einstein condensate containing more than 120x10^6 atoms. In the experiment a thermal beam is slowed by a Zeeman slower and captured in a dark-spot magneto-optical trap (MOT). A typical dark-spot…
For a spinor gas, i.e., a mixture of identical particles with several internal degrees of freedom, we derive the partition function in terms of the Feynman-Kac functionals of polarized components. As an example we study a spin-1 Bose gas…
Antiferromagnetic condensates are generally believed not to display modulational instability and subsequent spin-domain formation. Here we demonstrate that in he presence of a homogeneous magnetic field antiferromagnetic spin-1…
Bose-Einstein condensation of charged scalar and vector particles may actually occur in presence of a constant homogeneous magnetic field, but there is no critical temperature at which condensation starts. The condensate is described by the…
In this paper we discuss Bose-Einstein spinor condensates for F=1 atoms in the context of 87Rb, as studied experimentally by the Stamper-Kurn group [Sadler et al. Nature (2006)]. The dynamical quantum fluctuations of a sample that starts as…
We consider a spinor condensate of 87Rb atoms in its F=1 hyperfine state at finite temperatures. Putting initially all atoms in m_F=0 component we find that the system evolves into the state of thermal equilibrium. This state is approached…
We devise a method to shortcut the adiabatic evolution of a spin-1 Bose gas with an external magnetic field as the control parameter. An initial many-body state with almost all bosons populating the Zeeman sublevel $m=0$, is evolved to a…
Bose-Einstein condensation happens as a gas of bosons is cooled below its transition temperature, and the ground state becomes macroscopically occupied. The phase transition occurs in the thermodynamic limit of many particles. However,…
We describe possibilities of spontaneous, degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) processes in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. Phase matching conditions (i.e., energy and momentum conservation laws) in such systems allow one to…
We study the spin mixing dynamics of ultracold spin-1 atoms in a weak non-uniform magnetic field with field gradient $G$, which can flip the spin from +1 to -1 so that the magnetization $m=\rho_{+}-\rho_{-}$ is not any more a constant. The…
Symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions lead to the production of topological defects or domain walls in a wide range of physical systems. In second-order transitions, these exhibit universal scaling laws described by the Kibble-Zurek…
We show that the classical dynamics underlying the mean-field description of homogeneous mixtures of spinor F=1 Bose-Einstein condensates in an external magnetic field is integrable as a consequence of number conservation and axial symmetry…
