Manipulating the Speed of Sound in a Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensate
arXiv:cond-mat/0012010 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.63.043612
Abstract
We consider a two-component weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of an external field which couples the two components. We express the Hamiltonian in terms of the energy eigenstates of the single-body part of the Hamiltonian. These eigenstates are the atomic dressed states of quantum optics. When the energy difference between the two dressed states is much larger than the mean-field interactions, two-body interactions in the dressed state basis that do not conserve the number of atoms in each of the two dressed states are highly suppressed. The two-body interactions then take on a simplified form in the dressed basis with effective coupling constants that depend on the intensity and frequency of the external field. This implies that the chemical potential as well as the quasiparticle spectrum may be controlled experimentally in a simple manner. We demonstrate this by showing that one may achieve significant variations in the speed of sound in the condensate, a quantity which has been measured experimentally.
