On the characterization of vortex configurations in the steady rotating Bose--Einstein condensates
arXiv:1708.03683 · doi:10.1098/rspa.2017.0602
Abstract
Motivated by experiments in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), we compare predictions of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) for dynamics of one and two individual vortices in the rotating BECs with those of the partial differential equation (PDE). In particular, we characterize orbitally stable vortex configurations in a symmetric harmonic trap due to a cubic repulsive interaction and the steady rotation. The ODE system is analyzed in details and the PDE model is approximated numerically. Good agreement between the two models is established in the semi-classical (Thomas-Fermi) limit that corresponds to the BECs at the large chemical potentials.
