We use the Bogoliubov theory of Bose-Einstein condensation to study the properties of dipolar particles (atoms or molecules) confined in a uniform two-dimensional geometry at zero temperature. We find equilibrium solutions to the dipolar Gross-Pitaevskii equation and the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Using these solutions we study the effects of quantum fluctuations in the system, particularly focussing on the instability point, where the roton feature in the excitation spectrum touches zero. Specifically, we look at the behaviour of the noncondensate density, the phase fluctuations, and the density fluctuations in the system. Near the instability, the density-density correlation function shows a particularly intriguing oscillatory behaviour. Higher order correlation functions display a distinct hexagonal lattice pattern formation, demonstrating how an observation of broken symmetry can emerge from a translationally symmetric quantum state.

We scrutinize the hydrodynamic approach for calculating dynamical correlations in one-dimensional superfluids near integrability and calculate the characteristic time scale {tau} beyond which this approach is valid. For time scales shorter than {tau} hydrodynamics fails and we develop an approach based on kinetics of fermionic quasiparticles described as mobile impurities. New universal results for the dynamical structure factor relevant to experiments in ultracold atomic gases are obtained.
We study the effects of quasiparticle interactions in a quasi-two dimensional (quasi-2D), zero-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate of dipolar atoms, which can exhibit a roton-maxon feature in its quasiparticle spectrum. Our focus is the Beliaev damping process, in which a quasiparticle collides with the condensate and resonantly decays into a pair of quasiparticles. Remarkably, the rate for this process exhibits a highly non-trivial dependence on the quasiparticle momentum and the dipolar interaction strength. For weak interactions, the low energy phonons experience no damping, and the higher energy quasiparticles undergo anomalously weak damping. In contrast, the Beliaev damping rates become anomalously large for stronger dipolar interactions, as rotons become energetically accessible as final states. Further, we find a qualitative anisotropy in the damping rates when the dipoles are tilted off the axis of symmetry. Our study reveals the unconventional nature of Beliaev damping in dipolar condensates, and has important implications for ongoing studies of equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics in these systems.

We present a comprehensive analysis of quantum fluctuation effects in the superfluid ground state of an attractively interacting Fermi system, employing the attractive Hubbard model as a prototype. The superfluid order parameter, and fluctuations thereof, are implemented by a bosonic Hubbard-Stratonovich field, which splits into two components corresponding to longitudinal and transverse (Goldstone) fluctuations. Physical properties of the system are computed from a set of approximate flow equations obtained by truncating the exact functional renormalization group flow of the coupled fermion-boson action. The equations capture the influence of fluctuations on non-universal quantities such as the fermionic gap, as well as the universal infrared asymptotics present in every fermionic superfluid. We solve the flow equations numerically in two dimensions and compute the asymptotic behavior analytically in two and three dimensions. The fermionic gap Delta is reduced significantly compared to the mean-field gap, and the bosonic order parameter alpha, which is equivalent to Delta in mean-field theory, is suppressed to values below Delta by fluctuations. The fermion-boson vertex is only slightly renormalized. In the infrared regime, transverse order parameter fluctuations associated with the Goldstone mode lead to a strong renormalization of longitudinal fluctuations: the longitudinal mass and the bosonic self-interaction vanish linearly as a function of the scale in two dimensions, and logarithmically in three dimensions, in agreement with the exact behavior of an interacting Bose gas.
We present a study of how macroscopic flow can be produced in Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a racetrack potential by stirring with a wide rectangular barrier. This potential consists of two half-circle channels separated by straight channels of length $L$ and is a ring potential if $L=0$. We present the results of a large set of simulations where racetrack condensates stirred with a barrier under varying conditions of barrier height, stir speed, racetrack geometry, and temperature. We found that stirring was readily able to produce circulation in ring and non-ring geometries but that the exact amount of flow produced was complicated. We therefore also studied the mechanism by which flow was produced in the stirring process. We found that circulation was induced by the swap of a vortex/anti-vortex pair that was initially created by backflow of the condensate in the region of depressed density by the barrier. When the barrier strength reached a critical value a number of these vortex-swap events occurred in rapid succession so that flow speed of the circulation produced was enough to exceed the stir speed of the barrier. Flow that was initially localized in the vortices involved in the vortex swap was converted into macroscopic flow around the racetrack by pairs of disturbances each generated during the vortex swap. Each pair consisted of a vortex/anti-vortex pair moving in the anti-stir direction and a compression wave moving in the stir direction. This picture of the mechanism for making flow will enable the design of stirring schedules that create a desired amount of flow.
In this letter we consider dipolar quantum gases in a quasi-one-dimensional tube with dipole moment perpendicular to the tube direction. We deduce the effective one-dimensional interaction potential and show that this potential is not purely repulsive, but rather has an attractive part due to high-order scattering processes through transverse excited states. The attractive part can induce bound state and cause scattering resonances. This represents the dipole induced resonance in low-dimension. We work out an unconventional behavior of low-energy phase shift for this effective potential and show how it evolves across a resonance. Based on the phase shift, the interaction energy of spinless bosons is obtained using asymptotic Bethe ansatz. Despite of long-range nature of dipolar interaction, we find that a behavior similar as short-range Lieb-Linger gas emerges at the resonance regime.
