Landau damping of collective modes in a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate

This paper proposes a method for calculating the Landau damping of a low-energy collective mode in a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. Based on the divergence-free analytical solutions for ground-state wavefunction of the condensate and eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for thermally excited quasiparticles, obtained beyond Thomas-Fermi approximation, this paper calculates the coupling matrix elements describing the interaction between the collective mode and the quasiparticles. With these analytical results this paper evaluates the Landau damping rate of a monopole mode in a spherical trap and discusses its dependence on temperature, particle number and trapping frequency of the system.

Collective modes of Weyl fermions with repulsive S-wave interaction

We calculate the spin and density susceptibility ofWeyl fermions with repulsive S-wave interaction in ultracold gases.Weyl fermions have a linear dispersion,which is qualitatively different from the parabolic dispersion of conventional materials.We find that there are different collective modes for the different strengths of repulsive interaction by solving the poles equations of the susceptibility in the random-phase approximation.In the long-wavelength limit,the sound velocity and the energy gaps vary with the different strengths of the interaction in the zero sound mode and the gapped modes,respectively.The particle-hole continuum is obtained as well,where the imaginary part of the susceptibility is nonzero.

Scheme for implementing frequency up-conversion between two collective atomic modes

This paper presents a scheme for realizing the frequency up-conversion between two collective atomic modes. In the scheme two atomic samples are coupled to a cavity mode. Under the large detuning condition, the two collective atomic modes are coupled via the virtual excitation of the cavity mode and the effective Hamiltonian corresponds to the frequency up-conversion. In the scheme the cavity mode is only virtually excited and thus the process is insensitive to cavity decay.

Generation of SU(2)Coherent States for a Cavity Mode and a Collective Atomic Mode

We propose a scheme for generation of SU（2） coherent states for an atomic ensemble and a cavity mode. In the scheme a collection of two-level atoms resonantly interact with a single-mode quantized field. Under certain conditions, the system can evolve from a Fock state to a highly entangled SU（2） coherent state. The operation speed increases as the number of atoms increases, which is important in view of deeoherence.

Generation/collection mode of SECM with combined probe

Here we report a novel generation/collection operation mode of scanning electrochemical microscopy,in which a theta micropipette was employed to support two adjacent water/1,2-dichloroethane interfaces separated by the thin central glass wall：one acts as the generator while the other as the collector.The generation current,collection current and collection efficiency were enhanced significantly when the tip approached to an insulate substrate.
