Boson-vortex duality in compressible spin-orbit coupled BECs

arXiv:1703.07918 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.033611

Abstract

Using a (1+2)-dimensional boson-vortex duality between non-linear electrodynamics and a two-component compressible Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with spin-orbit (SO) coupling, we obtain generalised versions of the hydrodynamic continuity and Euler equations where the phase defect and non-defect degrees of freedom enter separately. We obtain the generalised Magnus force on vortices under SO coupling, and associate the linear confinement of vortices due to SO coupling with instanton fluctuations of the dual theory.
