摘要

Bose-Einstein condensates subjected to modulation of the interaction between atoms exhibit the emergence of density waves and matter-wave jets with a velocity proportional to the square root of the modulation frequency. Matter-wave jets have been studied in two- and one-dimensional systems showing that for sufficiently strong modulation additional higher harmonic matter-wave jets emerge. Here we report the experimental observation of incommensurable “golden” \(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\) 1 + 5 2 matter-wave jets in a Bose-Einstein condensate exposed to a single frequency interaction modulation. We study the formation of higher-order jets in quasi-one-dimensional geometry with numerical one dimensional (1D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation simulation. We explore the process of jet formation experimentally and theoretically for a wide range of modulation amplitudes and frequencies and establish a phase diagram delineating different regimes of jet formation. The observation of incommensurate jets provides a new route to an aperiodic density modulation of the condensate without employing an external potential.
