Center motions of nonoverlapping condensates coupled by long-range dipolar interaction in bilayer and multilayer stacks

Abstract

We investigate the effect of anisotropic and long-range dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) on the center motions of nonoverlapping Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in bilayer and multilayer stacks. In the bilayer, it is shown analytically that while DDI plays no role in the in-phase modes of center motions of condensates, out-of-phase mode frequency (${\omega }_o$) depends crucially on the strength of DDI ($a_d$). At the small-$a_d$ limit, ${\omega }_o^2(a_d)-{\omega }_o^2(0)\propto a_d$. In the multilayer stack, transverse modes associated with center motions of coupled condensates are found to be optical phonon like. At the long-wavelength limit, phonon velocity is proportional to ${\sqrt{a}}_d$.
