Dynamics of collapsing and exploding Bose-Einstein condensed vortex state
Abstract
Using the time-dependent mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation we study the dynamics of small repulsive Bose-Einstein condensed vortex states of 85Rb atoms in a cylindrical trap with low angular momentum hbar L per atom (L <= 6), when the atomic interaction is suddenly turned attractive by manipulating the external magnetic field near a Feshbach resonance. Consequently, the condensate collapses and ejects atoms via explosion and a remnant condensate with a smaller number of atoms emerges that survives for a long time. Detail of this collapse and explosion is compared critically with a similar experiment performed with zero angular momentum (L=0). Suggestion for future experiment with vortex state is made.
