Beats and Expansion of Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates in the Thomas-Fermi Limit

Abstract

A unique feature of multi-component BECs is the possibility of beating frequencies in collective oscillations. We analytically determine this beating frequency for the two-component BEC in one-dimension. We also show that the Thomas-Fermi approximation, where the quantum pressure is neglected, describes well the expansion of the two-component condensate released from an harmonic trap.
