Thermodynamics of Generalized Fermi Systems in a Harmonic Trap

Thermodynamics of the generalized ideal Fermi systems in the two-and three-dimensional harmonic traps are respectively calculated by the Tsallis entropy in this paper. The influences of the trap and q-number on the thermodynamic parameters (epically the heat capacity) are analysed in detail. The results yield a well agreement with the classical cases.

Particle scattering by rotating trapped quantum gases at finite temperature

We have analytically explored the quantum phenomena of particle scattering by rotating trapped quantum gases of electrically neutral bosons and fermions for the short-ranged Fermi-Huang interactions between the incident particle and the scatterers. We have predicted differential scattering cross-sections and their temperature and angular velocity dependencies in this regard, in particular, for an ideal Bose gas in a rotating harmonic trap, an ideal Fermi gas in a rotating harmonic trap, and a weakly interacting Bose gas in a slow rotating harmonic trap. We have theoretically probed the lattice-pattern of the vortices in a rapidly rotating strongly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate by the particle scattering method. We also have obtained de Haas-van Alphen-like oscillations in the differential scattering cross-section for an ideal ultracold Fermi gas in a rotating harmonic trap. Our predictions on the differential scattering cross-sections can be tested within the present-day experimental setups.

Dynamics of the Creation of a Rotating Bose–Einstein Condensation by Two Photon Raman Transition Using a Laguerre–Gaussian Laser Pulse

We present numerical simulations to unravel the dynamics associated with the creation of a vortex in a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), from another nonrotating BEC using two-photon Raman transition with Gaussian (G) and Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) laser pulses. In particular, we consider BEC of Rb atoms at their hyperfine ground states confined in a quasi two dimensional harmonic trap. Optical dipole potentials created by G and LG laser pulses modify the harmonic trap in such a way that density patterns of the condensates during the Raman transition process depend on the sign of the generated vortex. We investigate the role played by the Raman coupling parameter manifested through dimensionless peak Rabi frequency and intercomponent interaction on the dynamics during the population transfer process and on the final population of the rotating condensate. During the Raman transition process, the two BECs tend to have larger overlap with each other for stronger intercomponent interaction strength.

Connection between Inverse Engineering and Optimal Control in Shortcuts to Adiabaticity

We consider fast high-fidelity quantum control by using a shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) technique and optimal control theory (OCT). Three specific examples, including expansion of cold atoms from the harmonic trap, atomic transport by moving harmonic trap, and spin dynamics in the presence of dissipation, are explicitly detailed. Using OCT as a qualitative guide, we demonstrate how STA protocols designed from inverse engineering method can approach with very high precision optimal solutions built about physical constraints, by a proper choice of the interpolation function and with a very reduced number of adjustable parameters.
