Vortex nucleation and hysteresis phenomena in rotating Bose-Einstein condensates
Juan J. Garcia-Ripoll, Victor M. Perez-Garcia
We study the generation of vortices in rotating Bose--Einstein condensates, a situation which has been realized in a recent experiment (K. W. Madison, F. Chevy, W. Wohlleben, J. Da…
Scattering of light by molecules of light
J. J. Garcia-Ripoll, V. M. Perez-Garcia, W. Krolikowski +1
We study the scattering properties of optical dipole-mode vector solitons recently predicted theoretically and generated in a laboratory. We demonstrate that such a radially asymme…
Nucleation of bended vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates in elongated traps
J. J. Garcia-Ripoll, V. M. Perez-Garcia
We study the generation of vortices in rotating axially elongated magneto-optical traps, a situation which has been realized in a recent experiment (K. W. Madison, F. Chevy, W. Woh…
Anomalous rotational properties of Bose-Einstein condensates in asymmetric traps
J. J. Garcia-Ripoll, V. M. Perez-Garcia
We study the rotational properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a rotating harmonic trap for different trap anisotropies. Using simple arguments, we derive expressions…
