Non-local interactions in a BEC: an analogue gravity perspective

Abstract: We add a minimal correction term to the local Gross-Pitaevskii equation to represent non-locality in the interactions. We show that the effective minimal non-locality can make the healing length decrease more rapidly with the increase of s-wave scattering length leaving the expression of the velocity of sound unaltered. We discuss the implication of this result for a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) being used as an analogue gravity system. The presented result is important in the context of condensed matter phy… Show more

“…The s-wave scattering length a can practically be increased from −∞ to ∞ near a Feshbach resonance as experimentally verified by Cornish et al in 2000 [46]. Evidently, the tuning of a will keep increasing or decreasing the value of the parameter ǫ as per requirement [47,48]. In fact, by increasing a through Feshbach resonance, the value of 8πκa 3 n 0 can be made as close to 1 2 as possible and hence, naturally, ǫ can be experimentally set to be a very small quantity via Eq.…”

“…Moreover, this switching fromψ(t, r) to the classical mean-field ψ(t, r) is accurate enough when one does not consider the realistic potential 6 but replaces V (r ′ −r) by some effective soft potential V eff (r ′ − r). The minimal GP model for the nonlocal [47] s-wave scattering in a non-uniform BEC is characterised by the following equation,…”

“…This is more so given the fact that there already exists a Laplacian in the kinetic term of the dynamics. The detailed justification of considering the non-locality was given in our previous paper [26].…”

“…Of course, for a more precise estimate, it would be necessary to accurately and fully determine the fluctuations' dispersion relation, which is modified by the presence of the long-range interactions as compared to the standard short-range case (cf. [19]). This has some effect on the spectrum of the Hawking-temperature (cf.…”
