• Abstract summary: We present a method to study the dynamics of a quasi-two dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate. We present first the analytical solution of the dynamics in a homogeneous medium and in a parabolic trap for the ideal non-interacting case. We discuss this case in the context of Bose-Einstein condensates and extend the analytical solution to the trapped case.

• Abstract: We present a method to study the dynamics of a quasi-two dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate which contains initially many vortices at arbitrary locations. We present first the analytical solution of the dynamics in a homogeneous medium and in a parabolic trap for the ideal non-interacting case. For the homogeneous case this was introduced in the context of photonics. Here we discuss this case in the context of Bose-Einstein condensates and extend the analytical solution to the trapped case, for the first time. This linear case allows one to obtain the trajectories of the position of phase singularities present in the initial condensate along with time. Also, it allows one to predict some quantities of interest, such as the time at which a vortex and an antivortex contained in the initial condensate will merge. Secondly, the method is complemented with numerical simulations of the non-linear case. We use a numerical split-step simulation of the non-linear Gross-Pitaevskii equation to determine how these trajectories and quantities of interest are changed by the presence of interactions. We illustrate the method with several simple cases of interest both in the homogeneous and parabolically trapped systems.

  We investigate the effect that spatially modulated continuous conserved quantities can have on quantum ground states. We show that such systems feature a non-trivial Hilbert space fragmentation for momenta incommensurate with the lattice. We conjecture that a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-type transition is driven by the unbinding of vortices along the temporal direction.

  We introduce an alternative scheme based on integrating an ordinary differential equation that describes the flow of probability. Unlike the dynamics, this equation deterministically pushes samples from the initial density onto samples from the solution at any later time. Our approach is based on recent advances in score-based diffusion for generative modeling.
