Kinetic Model of Trapped Finite Temperature Binary Condensates

Abstract

We construct a fully self-consistent non-equilibrium theory for the dynamics of two interacting finite-temperature atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The condensates are described by dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equations, coupled to quantum Boltzmann equations for the thermal atoms. The density-density interactions between atoms in different components facilitate a number of transport processes of relevance to sympathetic cooling: in particular, identification of an inter-component scattering process associated with collisional "exchange" of condensed and thermal atoms between the components, is found numerically to dominate close to equilibrium, for both realistic miscible and immiscible trapped atomic ${}^{87}$Rb-${}^{41}$K and ${}^{87}$Rb-${}^{85}$Rb condensate mixtures.
