Fragmented condensate state in a spin-1/2 Bose gas with p-wave interaction

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk, I show that a collection of spin-1/2 bosons subjected to p-wave interaction in addition to the usual s-wave interaction can, under certain conditions, develop a novel condensate state in which two bosons are correlated in a spin singlet states with a corresponding p-wave orbital wave function that helps to lower the energy of the system. In addition, we also explored the sound modes of the system and show how it is affected by the p-wave interaction.
