Vortex excitation in a stirred toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate
arXiv:1408.3293 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.91.023607
Abstract
Motivated by the recent experiment [Wright et al., Phys. Rev. A 88, 063633 (2013)], we investigate formation of vortices in an annular BEC stirred by a narrow blue-detuned optical beam. In the framework of a two-dimensional mean field model, we study the dissipative dynamics of the condensate with parameters matched to the experimental conditions. Vortex-antivortex pairs appear near the center of the stirrer in the bulk of the condensate for slow motion of the stirring beam. When the barrier angular velocity is above some critical value, an outer edge surface mode develops and breaks into the vortices entering the condensate annulus. We determine the conditions for creation of the vortex excitations in the stirred toroidal condensate and compare our results with the experimental observations.
