Numerical method for the projected Gross--Pitaevskii equation in an infinite rotating 2D Bose gas
arXiv:2002.09245 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.102.033309
Abstract
We present a method for evolving the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation in an infinite rotating Bose-Einstein condensate, the ground state of which is a vortex lattice. We use quasi-periodic boundary conditions to investigate the behaviour of the bulk superfluid in this system, in the absence of boundaries and edge effects. We also give the Landau gauge expression for the phase of a BEC subjected to these boundary conditions. Our spectral representation uses the eigenfunctions of the one-body Hamiltonian as basis functions. Since there is no known exact quadrature rule for these basis functions we approximately implement the projection associated with the energy cut-off, but show that by choosing a suitably fine spatial grid the resulting error can be made negligible. We show how the convergence of this model is affected by simulation parameters such as the size of the spatial grid and the number of Landau levels. Adding dissipation, we use our method to find the lattice ground state for vortices. We can then perturb the ground-state, in order to investigate the melting of the lattice.
