This paper analyzes the properties of the two-component Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with long-range monopolar interaction by means of Thomas–Fermi approximation (TFA). The effects of long-range monopolar interaction, inter-component short-range s-wave scattering, and particle numbers on the density profiles and phase separation of BECs are investigated. It is shown that atoms with the small intra-component s-wave scattering length are squeezed out when the monopolar interaction of these atoms is not large enough, and the density profile will be compressed when corresponding monopolar interaction is increased. Effective zero interaction point that the s-wave scattering repulsive interaction is neutralized by monopolar attractive interaction, is found. Varying of particle numbers will cause the transformation between phase separation and faint phase separation (or mixture).
We investigate the gauge invariance of the semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs) in solid high-order harmonic generation (HHG). It is found that the gauge dependence of the SBEs can be attributed to the absence of Berry connection terms in the SBEs in previous studies. When the Berry connection terms are considered, the gauge invariance of the SBEs can be naturally preserved under an arbitrary global phase transformation. To satisfy the demand of the continuity of transition dipole matrix elements in one-dimensional calculations, we propose a gauge that is easy to implement numerically. Finally, the saddle point analysis shows that Berry connections can influence many properties of HHG, such as ellipticity dependence and even harmonic generation. This work uncovers the importance of the Berry connection terms that have been neglected for a long time in simulations of solid HHG.
Atom interferometry-based sensors have demonstrated remarkable precision, making them attractive for diverse applications compared to traditional sensors. However, practical experiments inevitably encounter noise, which limits precision. We investigate the performance of two commonly used methods, ellipse fitting (EF) and fringe fitting (FF), for differential phase estimation in a dual atom interferometer under various noise conditions. We comprehensively analyze the efficacy of these methods for each type of Gaussian noise, including phase noise, amplitude noise, and offset noise. Using a colored noise model, we investigate the Allan deviation results. Our investigations will offer valuable insights for future quantum sensing based on dual interferometers.
We propose the implementation of a rapid adiabatic passage (RAP) scheme to generate entanglement in Rydberg atom-array systems. This method transforms a product state in a multi-qubit system into an entangled state with high fidelity and robustness. By employing global and continuous driving laser fields, we demonstrate the generation of two-qubit Bell state and three-qubit W state, via sequential RAP pulses within the Rydberg blockade regime. As an illustrative example, applying this technique to alkali atoms, we predict fidelities exceeding 0.9995 for two-qubit Bell and three-qubit W state, along with excellent robustness. Furthermore, our scheme can be extended to generate entanglement between weakly coupled atoms and to create four-qubit Greenberger- Horne-Zeilinger states through spatial correlations. Our approach holds the potential for extension to larger atomic arrays, offering a straightforward and efficient method to generate high-fidelity entangled states in neutral atom systems.
We theoretically study the high-order harmonic generation of H2+ and its isotopes beyond the Born-Oppenheimer dynamics. It is surprising that the spectral redshift can still be observed in high harmonic spectra of H2+ driven by a sinusoidal laser pulse in which the trailing (leading) edge of the laser pulse is nonexistent. The results confirm that this spectral redshift originates from the reduction in ionization energy between recombination time and ionization time, which is obviously different from the nonadiabatic spectral redshift induced by the falling edge of the laser pulse. Additionally, the improved instantaneous frequency of harmonics by considering the changeable ionization energy can deeply verify our results. Therefore, this new mechanism must be taken into account when one uses the nonadiabatic spectral redshift to retrieve the nuclear motion.
The higher-spin Kitaev magnets, in which the Kitaev interaction and off-diagonal exchange couplings are overwhelmingly large, have emerged as a fertile avenue to explore exotic phases and unusual excitations. In this work, we study the quantum phase diagram of the spin-1 Kitaev-$\Gamma$ model on the honeycomb lattice using density-matrix renormalization group. It harbours six distinct phases and the intriguing findings are three magnetically ordered phases in which both time-reversal symmetry and lattice symmetry albeit of different sort are broken spontaneously. The chiral spin state originates from the order-by-disorder effect and exhibits an almost saturated scalar spin chirality at the quantum level. Depending on the relative strength of the two interactions, it also features columnar-like or plaquette-like dimer pattern as a consequence of the translational symmetry breaking. In parallel, the nematic ferromagnets are situated at ferromagnetic Kitaev side and possess small but finite ferromagnetic ordering. The lattice-rotational symmetry breaking enforces nonequivalent bond energy along one of the three bonds. Although the intrinsic difference between the two nematic ferromagnets remains elusive, the discontinuities in the von Neumann entropy, hexagonal plaquette operator, and Wilson loop operator convincingly suggest that they are separated via a first-order phase transition.
According to density functional theory calculations, we elucidate the atomic and electronic structure of -(Zn, Cr)S(111) surface. The magnetic interaction between Cr atoms is via S atoms close to the Cr layer. This interaction is shown by the analysis of spin charge contour plot and partial density of states (DOS) of each atom. The DOSs of other S atoms are non magnetic and have no magnetic exchange with the Cr layer. E(q) and E(-q) are the dispersions between energy E and wave vector q of spin spiral in the opposite directions. They are calculated with generalized Bloch equations and all the magnetic moments of Cr atoms are arranged in the plane perpendicular to the -(Zn, Cr)S(111) film. The differences between E(q) and E(-q) are caused by the interface of -(Zn, Cr)S(111), where the symmetry of space perpendicular to the film is broken. Effective Heisenberg exchange interaction (HBI) and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction (DMI) parameters between different neighbors (Ji and di) are derived by well fitting the ab initio spin spiral dispersion E(q) to HBI with DMI model and E(q)-E(-q) to DMI model, respectively. The J2 plays a major role with a large negative value of -9.04 meV. The J1 is about 2/5 of J2, and J3 is about 1/4 of J2 with positive value. The DMI d1 is -0.53 meV, and d2 is 0.07 meV. With these HBI parameters, E(0) is the largest one at which -(Zn, Cr)S(111) has no ferromagnetic interface. The E(q) has its lowest energy with the q at M=b1/2 in the first Brillouin zone. Hence, -(Zn, Cr)S(111) is an M-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) material. In this type of AFM configuration, magnetic moments of Cr atom in a line along b2 are parallel to each other, and antiparallel to the magnetic moments in adjacent lines. The E(q) at K=b1/2+ b2/2 is almost as large as that at point. The value of DMI parameter d1 is about 1/5 of that on Co/Pt3 interface and 1/2 of Co/graphene. However, it is a negative number, which shows the clockwise chirality. The -(Zn, Cr)S(111) interface has obvious DMI, and skyrmion may be formed at this transition-metal/semiconductor (TM/S) interface. It is a good option to search for DMI in different kinds of TM/S heterojunctions. The material that combines the advantage of heterojunction, and DMI may have new magnetic phenomenon, which is usefulfor the magnetic storage. This paper enriches the research on DMI.
We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with competing interspecies s-and p-wave interactions.Exploiting a pseudopotential model for the l = 1 partial wave, we derive an extended Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation for the BEC mixture that incorporates both s-and p-wave interactions.Based on it, we study the miscible-immiscible transition of a binary BEC mixture in the presence of interspecies p-wave interaction, by combining numerical solution of the GP equation and Gaussian variational analysis.Our study uncovers a dual effect-either enhance or reduce miscibility-of positive interspecies p-wave interaction, which can be precisely controlled by adjusting relevant experimental parameters.By complete characterizing the miscibility phase diagram, we establish a promising avenue towards experimental control of the miscibility of binary BEC mixtures via high partial-wave interactions.
We consider the effect of the Rashba spin-orbital interaction and space charge in a ferromagnetinsulator/semiconductor/insulator-ferromagnet junction where the spin current is severely affected by the doping, band structure and charge screening in the semiconductor.In diffusion region, if the the resistance of the tunneling barriers is comparable to the semiconductor resistance, the magnetoresistance of this junction can be greatly enhanced under appropriate doping by the co-ordination between the Rashba effect and screened Coulomb interaction in the nonequilibrium transport processes within Hartree approximation.
