Tunable energy-level inversion in spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:2212.05205 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.063311
Abstract
A method to realize controllable inversion of energy levels in a one-dimensional spin-orbit (SO)-coupled two-component Bose-Einstein condensate under the action of a gradient magnetic field and harmonic-oscillator (HO) trapping potential is proposed. The linear version of the system is solved exactly. By adjusting the SO coupling strength and magnetic-field gradient, the energy-level inversion makes it possible to transform any excited state into the ground state. The full nonlinear system is solved numerically, and it is found that the results are consistent with the linear prediction in the case of the repulsive inter-component interaction. On the other hand, the inter-component attraction gives rise to states of superposition and edge types. Similar results are also reported for the system with the HO trap replaced by the box potential. These results suggest a possibility to realize any excited state and observe it in the experiment.
