DETECTION OF VORTICITY IN BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSED GASES BY MATTER-WAVE INTERFERENCE

Eric L. Bolda; D. F. Walls

A phase-slip in the fringes of an interference pattern is an unmistakable characteristic of vorticity. We show dramatic two-dimensional simulations of interference between expanding condensate clouds with and without vorticity. In this way, vortices may be detected even when the core itself cannot be resolved.

Generalized pseudopotentials for higher partial wave scattering.

Rene Stock; Andrew Silberfarb; Eric L. Bolda; Ivan H. Deutsch

We derive a generalized zero-range pseudopotential applicable to all partial wave solutions to the Schrödinger equation based on a delta-shell potential in the limit that the shell radius approaches zero. This properly models all higher order multipole moments not accounted for with a monopolar delta function at the origin, as used in the familiar Fermi pseudopotential for s-wave scattering. By making the strength of the potential energy dependent, we derive self-consistent solutions for the entire energy spectrum of the realistic potential. We apply this to study two particles in an isotropic harmonic trap, interacting through a central potential, and derive analytic expressions for the energy eigenstates and eigenvalues.
