Two-component BEC systems

Experimentally realized with a broad variety of types of atoms and parameters of a system

heterogeneous systems: different types of atoms homogeneous systems: same type of atoms, different internal (usually spin) states

Rich dynamics and interplay of the parameters Several possible ground states A variety of possible dynamical evolutions We focus on the study of Faraday waves and patterns in cigar-shaped two-component 87Rb BECs, with strong radial confinement, which is harmonically modulated We also study resonant waves, which appear for specific values of the frequency of radial modulation

Variational approach - symbiotic pair (1)

Variational ans¨ atze for the symbiotic pair wave functions:

ψ1(ρ, z, t) = N1 exp „ − ρ2 2w2

ρ(t) + iρ2α2(t)

« » 1 − exp „ − z2 2w2

+ iρ2α2(t) « ˆ 1+(u(t)+iv(t)) cos kz ˜

ψ1 is considered to be unperturbed, acting as an additional confinement for ψ2 Variational analysis leads to a Mathieu-type equation:

¨ u(τ) + u(τ) [a(k, ω) + ǫb (k, ω) sin 2τ] = 0 a(k, ω) = k4 ω2 + k2 ω2 Λsym , b(k, ω) = k2 ω2 Λsym , ωt = 2τ

Variational approach - symbiotic pair (2)

For small positive ǫ and positive b(k, ω), the Mathieu equation has solutions of the form exp(±iµτ) sin √aτ and exp(±iµτ) cos √aτ, where Im[µ] consists of a series of lobes positioned around the solution of the equation a(k, ω) = n2 The lobe centered around a(k, ω) = 1 is the largest, and yields the most unstable solutions, determined by:

kF,sym = s −Λsym 2 + r Λ2

sym

4 + ω2

This dispersion relation yields a period of 12.0 µm for the Faraday waves, which is in excellent agreement with the numerical results

For non-resonant modulation of the radial confinement, the usual Faraday waves are observed, with the similar period in both components For the self-resonant modulation of the radial confinement, the expected resonant waves are observed For the second-harmonic resonance, much stronger and faster-emerging resonant waves are observed, turning the system from the non-miscible to the miscible state
