Lowest Landau Level vortex structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate rotating in a harmonic plus quartic trap
arXiv:0801.3571 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.77.053615
Abstract
We investigate the vortex patterns appearing in a two-dimensional annular Bose-Einstein condensate rotating in a quadratic plus quartic confining potential. We show that in the limit of small anharmonicity the Gross-Pitaevskii energy can be minimized amongst the Lowest Landau Level wave functions and use this particular form to get theoretical results in the spirit of [A. Aftalion X. Blanc F. Nier, Phys. Rev. A 73, 011601(R) (2006)]. In particular, we show that the vortex pattern is infinite but not uniform. We also compute numerically the complete vortex structure: it is an Abrikosov lattice strongly distorted near the edges of the condensate with multiply quantized vortices appearing at the center of the trap.
