Emergent Symmetry at Superradiance Transition of a Bose Condensate in Two Crossed Beam Cavities
arXiv:1707.05579 · doi:10.1016/j.scib.2018.04.008
Abstract
Recently the ETH group has reported an experiment on superradiant transition of a Bose condensate in two crossed beam cavities. The surprise is that they find that across the superradiant transition, the cavity light can be emitted in any superposition of these two cavity modes. This indicates an additional symmetry that does not exist in the full Hamiltonian. In this letter we show that this symmetry is an emergent symmetry in the vicinity of the phase transition. We identify all the necessary conditions that are required for this emergent symmetry and show that the ETH experiment is a special case that satisfies these conditions. We further show that the superradiant transition in this system can also be driven to a first order one when the system is tuned away from the point having the emergent symmetry.
