We apply the microscopic Bogoliubov theory of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates to analyze quantum and thermal fluctuations in a flowing atomic condensate presence sonic horizon. For simplest case step-like horizon, closed-form analytical expressions are found for spectral distribution analog Hawking radiation density correlation function. The peculiar long-distance correlations that appear as consequence emission features turns out be reinforced by finite initial temperature condensate....

We compute the stationary profiles of a coherent beam Bose condensed atoms propagating through guide. Special emphasis is put on effect an obstacle present trajectory beam. The considered (such as bend in guide, or laser field perpendicular to beam) results repulsive attractive potential acting condensate. Different behaviors are observed when varying velocity (with respect speed sound), size (relative healing length) and intensity sign potential. existence bound states condensate also considered.

We study several realistic configurations making it possible to realize an acoustic horizon in the flow of a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate. In each case we give analytical description pattern, spectrum Hawking radiation, and associated quantum fluctuations.

We study the quantum fluctuations in a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate realizing an analogous acoustic black hole. The taking into account of evanescent channels and zero modes makes it possible to accurately reproduce recent experimental measurements density correlation function. discuss determination Hawking temperature show that our model radiation presents some significant departure from thermality.

The one-dimensional flow of a continuous beam Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in the presence an obstacle is studied as function velocity and type perturbing potential (representing interaction with beam). We identify relevant regimes: stationary/time-dependent superfluid/dissipative; absence drag used criterion for superfluidity. There exists critical below which superfluid. For attractive obstacles, we show that this can reach value predicted by Landau's approach. Besides, penetrable it...

Interaction effects lead to appearance two distinct regions stationary flow. One is subsonic and corresponds superfluid motion. The other one supersonic dissipative shows Anderson localization. compute analytically interaction-dependent localization length. also explain disappearance flow for large samples.

We present experimental and theoretical results on formation of quantum vortices in a laser beam propagating nonlinear medium. Topological constrains richer than the mere conservation vorticity impose an elaborate dynamical behavior to annihilation vortex-antivortex pairs. identify two such mechanisms, both described by same fold-Hopf bifurcation.

We study the coherent flow of a guided Bose-Einstein condensate incident over disordered region length L. introduce model potential that originates from magnetic fluctuations inherent to microfabricated guides. This allows for analytical and numerical studies realistic transport experiments. The repulsive interaction among atoms in beam induces different regimes. Below some critical (or sufficiently small L) stationary is observed. In this regime, transmission decreases exponentially with...

A two-component Bose-Einstein condensate whose dynamics is described by a system of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations accommodates waves with different symmetries. first type corresponds to excitations for which the motion both components locally in phase. For second waves, two have counterphase local motion. When values inter- and intracomponent interaction constants are different, long-wavelength behavior these modes types sound velocities. In limit weak nonlinearity small dispersion,...
