Vortices in a rotating BEC under extreme elongation
arXiv:cond-mat/0505395 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.72.043613
Abstract
We investigate a non-axisymmetric rotating BEC in a limit of rotation frequency for which the BEC transforms into a quasi-one-dimensional system. We compute the vortex lattice wavefunction by minimizing the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional in the lowest Landau level approximation for different confinement potentials. The condensate typically presents a changing number of vortex rows as a function of the interaction strength or rotation-confinement ratio. More specifically, the vortex lattices can be classified into two classes according to their symmetry with respect to the longitudinal axis. These two classes correspond to different local minima of the energy functional and evolve independently as a function of the various parameters.
