Incommensurable matter-wave jets in quasi-1D geometry
Bose-Einstein condensates subjected to modulation of the interaction between atoms exhibit the emergence of density waves and matter-wave jets with a velocity proportional to the square root of the modulation frequency. In the newly published paper, the authors present the experimental observation of higher-order incommensurable “golden” matter-wave jets emerging from a Bose-Einstein condensate exposed to a single frequency interaction modulation. The formation of higher-order jets in quasi-one-dimensional geometry is modelled using numerical one-dimensional (1D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation simulation. The authors explore the process of jet formation experimentally and theoretically for a wide range of modulation amplitudes and frequencies and establish a phase diagram delineating different regimes of jet formation.
