New Regimes in Cold Gases via Laser-Induced Long-Range Interactions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Systems with Long-Range Interactions

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 602))

Abstract

The modification of the properties of a Bose-Einstein or a Fermi-Dirac atomic gas due to laser-induced dipole-dipole interactions between the atoms are considered. Nearly-isotropic illumination of the sample by spectrally-fluctuating laser beams averages out the static r −3 dipole-dipole interaction, leaving the retarded r −1 “selfgravitating” attraction in the near zone. The analogies of ultracold many-atom systems, self-bound by such laser-induced “gravity”, with compact stars (“Bose stars” or “White Dwarfs”) are emphasized. Even a single plane-wave laser induces dipole-dipole interactions capable of causing a cigar-shaped Bose condensate to exhibit self binding and density modulations.
