How to realise a homogeneous dipolar Bose gas in the roton regime
arXiv:2112.12737 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.105.L061301
Abstract
Homogeneous quantum gases open up new possibilities for studying many-body phenomena and have now been realised for a variety of systems. For gases with short-range interactions the way to make the cloud homogeneous is, predictably, to trap it in an ideal (homogeneous) box potential. We show that creating a close to homogeneous dipolar gas in the roton regime, when long-range interactions are important, actually requires trapping particles in soft-walled (inhomogeneous) box-like potentials. In particular, we numerically explore a dipolar gas confined in a pancake trap which is harmonic along the polarisation axis and a cylindrically symmetric power-law potential radially. We find that intermediate 's maximise the proportion of the sample that can be brought close to the critical density required to reach the roton regime, whereas higher 's trigger density oscillations near the wall even when the bulk of the system is not in the roton regime. We characterise how the optimum density distribution depends on the shape of the trapping potential and find it is controlled by the trap wall steepness.
