Binary Quantum Turbulence Arising from Countersuperflow Instability in Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates

摘要

We theoretically study the development of quantum turbulence from two counter-propagating super-fluids of miscible Bose-Einstein condensates by numerically solving the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. When the relative velocity exceeds a critical value, the countersuperflow becomes unstable and quantized vortices are nucleated, which leads to isotropic quantum turbulence consisting of two superfiows. It is shown that the binary turbulence can be realized experimentally in a trapped system.
