Recently, there are several experiments demonstrating the possibility to tune the interaction constants using biexcitonic Feshbach resonance in resonantly created polariton condensate and single quantum well. Motivated by these experiments, we theoretically study the stationary state of a polariton condensate whose interatomic scattering length is periodically modulated with optical Feshbach resonance, which represents a novel kind of non-equilibrium superfluidity. In more detail, the spontaneous symmetry breaking of the spin degree of freedom induced by different loss rates of the linear polarizations are investigated based on driven-dissipative Gross–Pitaevskii equations coupled to the rate equation of a reservoir.

AbstractPlasma dynamics critically depends on density and temperature, thus well-controlled experimental realizations are essential benchmarks for theoretical models. The formation of an ultracold plasma can be triggered by ionizing a tunable number of atoms in a micrometer-sized volume of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by a single femtosecond laser pulse. The large density combined with the low temperature of the BEC give rise to an initially strongly coupled plasma in a so far unexplored regime bridging ultracold neutral plasma and ionized nanoclusters. Here, we report on ultrafast cooling of electrons, trapped on orbital trajectories in the long-range Coulomb potential of the dense ionic core, with a cooling rate of 400 K ps−1. Furthermore, our experimental setup grants direct access to the electron temperature that relaxes from 5250 K to below 10 K in less than 500 ns.

AbstractWe consider the Fröhlich Hamiltonian in a mean-field limit where many bosonic particles weakly couple to the quantized phonon field. For large particle numbers and a suitably small coupling, we show that the dynamics of the system is approximately described by the Landau–Pekar equations. These describe a Bose–Einstein condensate interacting with a classical polarization field, whose dynamics is effected by the condensate, i.e., the back-reaction of the phonons that are created by the particles during the time evolution is of leading order.
