A phenomenon of energy dissipation in Bose-Einstein condensates is studied based on a microscopic model for the motion of impurity. Critical velocities for onset of energy dissipation are obtained for periodic motions, such as a dipole-like…

Impurity atoms propagating at variable velocities through a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate were produced using a stimulated Raman transition. The redistribution of momentum by collisions between the impurity atoms and the stationary…

We consider the motion of a point-like impurity through a three-dimensional two-component Bose-Einstein condensate subject to Weyl spin-orbit coupling. Using linear-response theory, we calculate the drag force felt by the impurity and the…

We investigate the effects of impurities, either correlated disorder or a single Gaussian defect, on the collective dipole motion of a Bose-Einstein condensate of $^7$Li in an optical trap. We find that this motion is damped at a rate…

We consider the effects of finite temperature on the scattering of impurity atoms in a BoseEinstein condensate, showing that the scattering rate is enhanced by the thermal atoms. Collisions can increase or decrease the impurity energy.…

The dynamical structure of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate limits the efficiency of the condensate in cooling slow impurity atoms. To illustrate the point, we show that an impurity atom moving in a homogeneous zero-temperature condensate…

We consider dipole oscillations of a trapped dilute Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a scattering potential consisting either in a localized defect or in an extended disordered potential. In both cases the breaking of…

We study the thermalization dynamics of an impurity cloud inside a Bose-Einstein condensate at finite temperature, introducing a suitable Boltzmann equation. Some values of the temperature and of the initial impurity energy are considered.…

We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of an atomic gas in the (quasi-)uniform three-dimensional potential of an optical box trap. Condensation is seen in the bimodal momentum distribution and the anisotropic time-of-flight expansion…

We study motion of a point-like impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate at T=0. By solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in a perturbative manner we calculate the induced mass of the impurity and the drag force on the impurity in 3D, 2D and…

We study the quantum motion of an impurity atom immersed in a Bose Einstein condensate in arbitrary dimension. The Bogoliubov excitations of the Bose Einstein condensate act as a bosonic bath for the impurity. We present a detailed…

We study the process of scattering of two impurity atoms accompanied by generation of an elementary excitation in a surrounding Bose--Einstein condensate. This process, unlike the phonon generation by a {\it single} impurity atom, has no…

When a sizable, hard-sphere-like impurity is placed in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, it will create a hole in the condensate wave function. Since it costs more energy to drill a hole at the wave function's maximum (near the trap…

We study the quantum dynamics of a single impurity following its sudden immersion into a Bose-Einstein condensate. The ensuing formation of the Bose polaron in this general setting can be seen as impurity decoherence driven by the…

For the first time, we observed and controlled the Brownian motion of solitons. We launched solitonic excitations in highly elongated $^{87}\rm{Rb}$ BECs and showed that a dilute background of impurity atoms in a different internal state…

We unravel the nonequilibrium correlated quantum quench dynamics of an impurity traveling through a harmonically confined Bose-Einstein condensate in one-dimension. For weak repulsive interspecies interactions the impurity oscillates within…

We study the dynamics of a harmonically trapped quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate subjected to a moving disorder potential of finite extent. We show that, due to the inhomogeneity of the sample, only a percentage of the atoms…

In the Bogoliubov-Fr\"ohlich model, we prove that an impurity immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate forms a stable quasi-particle when the total momentum is less than its mass times the speed of sound. The system thus exhibits superfluid…

We simulate the motion of a massive object through a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate by numerical solution of the non-linear Schr\"odinger equation coupled to an equation of motion for the object. Under a constant applied force, the object…

We consider the real time dynamics of an initially localized distinguishable impurity injected into the ground state of the Lieb-Liniger model. Focusing on the case where integrability is preserved, we numerically compute the time evolution…
