The long-range and anisotropic nature of the dipolar interaction provides the so-called supersolid phases in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in an optical lattice. However, in a certain area of dipole interaction parameters, BECs can form into a droplet. In this paper, in order to qualitatively understand the droplet formations, we propose a toy model that allows us to estimate the size and shape of droplets in dipolar Bose-Hubbard system in the optical lattice. We compare results of the toy model with numerical solutions of the mean-field calculation., 7 pages, 3 figures

We investigate dipole modes in a trapped Bose--Fermi mixture gas in the normal phase, composed of single-species bosons and single-species fermions with $s$-wave scattering. In the extremely low temperature regime, Bose--Einstein statistics and Fermi--Dirac statistics may give rise to an interesting temperature dependence of collective modes. Applying the moment method to the linearized Boltzmann equation, we study the transition of the dipole modes between the hydrodynamic regime and the collisionless regime., Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure

We study relaxation dynamics of dark soliton, created by a phase-imprinted method, in a two-dimensional trapped Bose-Einstein condensate at non-zero temperatures by using the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation. At absolute zero temperature, a dark soliton is known to decay with a snake instability. At non-zero temperature, as we expected, we find that this snake instability cannot be clearly seen as in the absolute zero temperature case because of the presence of thermal fluctuations. However, we find that the decay rate, the half width of the overlap integral with respect to the phase-imprinted initial state, shows a power low decay as a function of the energy and finally remains a non-zero value., Comment: 5pages, 4figures

We propose a new criterion of stability or instability of one-directional superflow of Bose condensates. In d-dimensional condensates with steady superflow, spectral function \(\rho(\mathbf {r},\omega)=\sum_{l}|\langle l|\hat{n}(\mathbf{r})|\mathrm{g}\rangle|^{2}\delta (\omega-E_{l}+E_{\mathrm{g}})\) of the local density \(\hat{n}(\mathbf{r})\) at the critical velocity behaves as ρ(r,ω)∝ωβ with β

We study tunneling properties of collective excitations in spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates. In the absence of magnetic fields, the total transmission in the long wavelength limit occurs in all kinds of excitations but the quadrupolar spin mode in the ferromagnetic state. The quadrupolar spin mode alone shows the total reflection. A difference between those excitations comes from whether the wavefunction of an excitation corresponds to that of the condensate in the long wavelength limit. The correspondence results in the total transmission as in the spinless BEC., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures
