Emergence of Turbulence in an Oscillating Bose-Einstein Condensate
摘要:
We report on the experimental observation of vortex tangles in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ;{87}Rb atoms when an external oscillatory perturbation is introduced in the trap. The vortex tangle configuration is a signature of the presence of a turbulent regime in the cloud. We also show that this turbulent cloud suppresses the aspect ratio inversion typically observed in quantum degenerate bosonic gases during free expansion. Instead, the cloud expands keeping the ratio between their axis constant. Turbulence in atomic superfluids may constitute an alternative system to investigate decay mechanisms as well as to test fundamental theoretical aspects in this field.
