Quantum fluctuations on top of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Bose-Einstein Condensate (2108.04403v2)

Published 10 Aug 2021 in cond-mat.quant-gas and quant-ph

Abstract: We investigate the effects of quantum fluctuations in a parity-time($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric two-species Bose-Einstein Condensate(BEC). It is found that the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry, though preserved by the macroscopic condensate, can be spontaneously broken by its Bogoliubov quasi-particles under quantum fluctuations. The associated $\mathcal{PT}$-breaking transitions in the Bogoliubov spectrum can be conveniently tuned by the interaction anisotropy in spin channels and the strength of $\mathcal{PT}$ potential. In the $\mathcal{PT}$-unbroken regime, the real Bogoliubov modes are generally gapped, in contrast to the gapless phonon mode in Hermitian case. Moreover, the presence of $\mathcal{PT}$ potential is found to enhance the mean-field collapse and thereby intrigue the droplet formation after incorporating the repulsive force from quantum fluctuations. These remarkable interplay effects of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry and interaction can be directly probed in cold atoms experiments, which shed light on related quantum phenomena in general $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems.
