Properties of a coupled two species atom-heteronuclear molecule condensate
arXiv:quant-ph/0611005 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.75.043603
Abstract
We study the coherent association of a two-species atomic condensate into a condensate of heteronuclear diatomic molecules, using both a semiclassical treatment and a quantum mechanical approach. The differences and connections between the two approaches are examined. We show that, in this coupled nonlinear atom-molecule system, the population difference between the two atomic species plays a significant role in the ground-state stability properties as well as in coherent population oscillation dynamics.
