We study the establishment of vortex entanglement in remote and weakly interacting Bose Einstein condensates. We consider a two-mode photonic resource entangled in its orbital angular momentum (OAM) degree of freedom and, by exploiting the process of light-to-BEC OAM transfer, demonstrate that such entanglement can be efficiently passed to the matter-like systems. Our proposal thus represents a building block for novel low-dissipation and long-memory communication channels based on OAM. We discuss issues of practical realizability, stressing the feasibility of our scheme and present an operative technique for the indirect inference of the set vortex entanglement.

Engineering of synthetic magnetic flux in Bose-Einstein condensates [Lin et al., Nature {bf 462}, 628 (2009)] has prospects for attaining the high vortex densities necessary to emulate the fractional quantum Hall effect. We analytically establish the hydrodynamical behaviour of a condensate in a uniform synthetic magnetic field, including its density and velocity profile. Importantly, we find that the onset of vortex nucleation observed experimentally corresponds to a dynamical instability in the hydrodynamical solutions and reveal other routes to instability and anticipated vortex nucleation.
Vortex lattices in rapidly rotating Bose--Einstein condensates are systems of topological excitations that arrange themselves into periodic patterns. Here we show how phase-imprinting techniques can be used to create a controllable number of defects in these lattices and examine the resulting dynamics. Even though we describe our system using the mean-field Gross--Pitaevskii theory, the full range of many particle effects among the vortices can be studied. In particular we find the existence of localized vacancies that are quasi-stable over long periods of time, and characterize the effects on the background lattice through use of the orientational correlation function, and Delaunay triangulation.
Soon after its theoretical prediction, striped-density states in the presence of synthetic spin-orbit coupling were realized in Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold neutral atoms [J.-R. Li et al., Nature textbf{543}, 91 (2017)]. The achievement ope ns avenues to explore the interplay of superfluidity and crystalline order in the search for supersolid features and materials. The system considered is essentially made of two linearly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates, that is a pseudo-spin-$1/2$ system, subject to a spin-dependent gauge field $sigma_z hbar k_ell$. Under these conditions the stripe phase is achieved when the linear coupling $hbarOmega/2$ is small against the gauge energy $mOmega/hbar k_ell^2<1$ . The resulting density stripes have been interpreted as a standing-wave, interference pattern with approximate wavenumber $2k_ell$. Here, we show that the emergence of the stripe phase is induced by an array of Josephson vortices living in the junction defined by the linear coupling. As happens in superconducting junctions subject to external magnetic fields, a vortex array is the natural response of the superfluid system to the presence of a gauge field. Also similar to superconductors, the Josephson currents and their associated vortices can be present as a metastable state in the absence of gauge field. We provide closed-form solutions to the 1D mean field equations that account for such vortex arrays. The underlying Josephson currents coincide with the analytical solutions to the sine-Gordon equation for the relative phase of superconducting junctions [C. Owen and D. Scalapino, Phys. Rev. textbf{164}, 538 (1967)].
Long-lived, spatially localized, and temporally oscillating nonlinear excitations are predicted by numerical simulation of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. These oscillons closely resemble the time-periodic breather solutions of the sine-Gordon eq uation but decay slowly by radiating Bogoliubov phonons. Their time-dependent profile is closely matched with solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, which emerges as an effective field theory for the relative phase of two linearly coupled Bose fields in the weak-coupling limit. For strong coupling the long-lived oscillons persist and involve both relative and total phase fields. The oscillons decay via Bogoliubov phonon radiation that is increasingly suppressed for decreasing oscillon amplitude. Possibilities for creating oscillons are addressed in atomic gas experiments by collision of oppositely charged Bose-Josephson vortices and direct phase imprinting.
Recently, stripe phases in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have attracted much attention since they are identified as supersolid phases. In this paper, we exploit experimentally reachable parameters and show theoretically that ann ular stripe phases with large stripe spacing and high stripe contrast can be achieved in spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupled (SOAMC) BECs. In addition to using Gross-Pitaevskii numerical simulations, we develop a variational ansatz that captures the essential interaction effects to first order, which are not present in the ansatz employed in previous literature. Our work should open the possibility toward directly observing stripe phases in SOAMC BECs in experiments.
