Excitation spectra of fragmented condensates by linear response: general theory and application to a condensate in a double-well potential

Linear response of simple (i.e., condensed) Bose-Einstein condensates is known to lead to the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Here, we derive linear response for fragmented Bose-Einstein condensates, i.e., for the case where the many-body wave function is not a product of one, but of several single-...

520 |a Linear response of simple (i.e., condensed) Bose-Einstein condensates is known to lead to the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Here, we derive linear response for fragmented Bose-Einstein condensates, i.e., for the case where the many-body wave function is not a product of one, but of several single-particle states (orbitals). This gives one access to excitation spectra and response amplitudes of systems beyond the Gross-Pitaevskii description. Our approach is based on the number-conserving variational time-dependent mean-field theory [Alon, Streltsov, and Cederbaum, Phys. Lett. A 362, 453 (2007)], which describes the time evolution of best-mean-field states. Correspondingly, we call our linear-response theory for fragmented states LR-BMF. In the derivation it follows naturally that excitations are orthogonal to the ground-state orbitals. As applications excitation spectra of Bose-Einstein condensates in double-well potentials are calculated. Both symmetric and asymmetric double wells are studied for several interaction strengths and barrier heights. The cases of condensed and twofold fragmented ground states are compared. Interestingly, even in such situations where the response frequencies of the two cases are computed to be close to each other, which is the situation for the excitations well below the barrier, striking differences in the density response in momentum space are found. For excitations with an energy of the order of the barrier height, both the energies and the density response of condensed and fragmented systems are very different. In fragmented systems there is a class of “swapped” excitations where an atom is transferred to the neighboring well. The mechanism of its origin is discussed. In asymmetric wells, the response of a fragmented system is purely local (i.e., finite in either one or the other well) with different frequencies for the left and right fragments. This finding is in stark contrast to that for condensed systems.
