## TL;DR

This study explores vortex formation and turbulence in a 2D Bose-Einstein condensate under magnetic fields, noise, and dissipation, revealing energy spectra behaviors and vortex dynamics through stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii simulations.

## Contribution

It demonstrates how magnetic fields and noise induce vortices and turbulence in BECs, analyzing energy spectra and vortex velocities with a stochastic GPE approach.

## Key findings

- Vortices form in the bulk of the BEC due to noise and magnetic fields.
- A Kolmogorov $k^{-5/3}$ spectrum appears during the transition period.
- Steady states exhibit a different kinetic-energy spectrum scaling.

## Abstract

In this paper, we investigate vortex dynamics in a two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model coupled with a weak artificial magnetic field, a random white noise and a dissipation. Origin of the noise and dissipation is considered as thermal fluctuations of atoms that do not participate the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). Solving a stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation to this system, we show that the interplay of the magnetic field and the white noise generates vortices in the bulk of the BEC and stable steady states of vortices form after a transition period. We calculate the incompressible part of the kinetic-energy spectrum of the BEC. In the transition period, a Kolmogorov $k^{-5/3}$ spectrum appears in the infrared regime with the wave number $k$, $k<\zeta^{-1}$, where $\zeta$ is the healing length, whereas in the ultraviolet region, $k>\zeta^{-1}$, the spectrum behaves as $k^{-3}$. On the other hand in the steady states, another scaling low appears. We find a relationship between the above mentioned kinetic-energy spectra and the velocity of vortices. By an inverse cascade, the large velocity of a few created vortices develops the Kolmogorov $k^{-5/3}$ spectrum.
