Emergent nonequilibrium dynamics in decaying turbulence of Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate the emergence and evolution of turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates driven far from equilibrium through a controlled energy injection. By applying a timeperiodic modulation for a fixed duration, we trigger nonequilibrium dynamics that lead to the formation of a turbulent state char...

Sumario:We investigate the emergence and evolution of turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates driven far from equilibrium through a controlled energy injection. By applying a timeperiodic modulation for a fixed duration, we trigger nonequilibrium dynamics that lead to the formation of a turbulent state characterized by a complex distribution of excitations and density fluctuations. Our study focuses on the post-excitation relaxation process, where we observe a transient broadening of the momentum distribution: a signature of a direct energy cascade followed by an inverse particle cascade due to the nonlinear intra-scales energy transfer. Through systematic analysis based on the nonthermal fixed points and weak wave turbulence theories, we identify universal scaling laws governing the repopulation dynamics of the condensate. These findings advance our understanding of turbulent relaxation pathways in superfluids while enhancing the understanding of driven-dissipative quantum systems.
