Strongly interacting bosons in 2D in a rotating square lattice are investigated via a modified Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. Such a system corresponds to a rotating lattice potential imprinted on a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. Second-order…
We discuss dissipative dynamics of a vortex state in a trapped Bose-condensed gas at finite temperature and draw a scenario of decay of this state in a static trap. The interaction of the vortex with the thermal cloud transfers energy from…
The state of a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap is modeled by a wave function that minimizes the Gross-Pitaevskii functional. The resulting minimization problem has two new features compared to other similar functionals…
