Abstract
The magnetically induced Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate is investigated. We construct and study analytical models describing the development of the instability at both the linear and nonlinear stages. The models indicate new features of the instability: the influence of quantum capillary waves and the separation of droplets, which are qualitatively different from the classical case. We perform numerical simulations of the instability in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and compare the simulation results to the model predictions.
