Disruption of reflecting Bose-Einstein condensates due to inter-atomic interactions and quantum noise
arXiv:cond-mat/0608135 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.74.053605
Abstract
We perform fully three-dimensional simulations, using the truncated Wigner method, to investigate the reflection of Bose-Einstein condensates from abrupt potential barriers. We show that the inter-atomic interactions can disrupt the internal structure of a cigar-shaped cloud with a high atom density at low approach velocities, damping the center-of-mass motion and generating vortices. Furthermore, by incorporating quantum noise we show that scattering halos form at high approach velocities, causing an associated condensate depletion. We compare our results to recent experimental observations.
