Ground-State Dirac Monopole

Emmi Ruokokoski, Ville Pietilä, Mikko Möttönen

We show theoretically that a monopole defect, analogous to the Dirac magnetic monopole, may exist as the ground state of a dilute spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. The ground-state…

Pairing instabilities in quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gases

Ville Pietilä, David Pekker, Yusuke Nishida +1

We study non-equilibrium dynamics of ultracold two-component Fermi gases in low-dimensional geometries after the interactions are quenched from weakly interacting to strongly inter…

Finite-temperature phase transitions in quasi-two-dimensional spin-1 Bose gases

Ville Pietilä, Tapio P. Simula, Mikko Möttönen

Recently, the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition was found to be mediated by half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic Bose gases [Phys. Rev. L…

Core sizes and dynamical instabilities of giant vortices in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates

Pekko Kuopanportti, Emil Lundh, Jukka A. M. Huhtamäki +2

Motivated by a recent demonstration of cyclic addition of quantized vorticity into a Bose-Einstein condensate, the vortex pump, we study dynamical instabilities and core sizes of g…

Creation of Dirac monopoles in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Ville Pietilä, Mikko Möttönen

We demonstrate theoretically that using standard external magnetic fields, one can imprint point-like topological defects to the spin texture of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate.…
