Abstract

We analyze the properties of the soliton solutions of a class of models describing one-dimensional BEC with spin F. We describe the minimal sets of scattering data which determine uniquely both the corresponding potential of the Lax operator and its scattering matrix. Next we give several reductions of these MNLS, derive their N-soliton solutions and analyze the soliton interactions. Finally we prove an important theorem proving that if the initial conditions satisfy the reduction then one gets a solution of the reduced MNLS.

Solitons and rogue waves in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Sitai Li, B. Prinari, Gino Biondini

We present a general classification of one-soliton solutions as well as families of rogue-wave solutions for F=1 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). These solutions are obtained from the inverse scattering transform for a focusing matrix nonlinear Schrödinger equation which models condensates in the case of attractive mean-field interactions and ferromagnetic spin-exchange interactions. In particular, we show that when no background is present, all one-soliton solutions are reducible via unitary transformations to a combination of oppositely polarized solitonic solutions of single-component BECs. On the other hand, we show that when a nonzero background is present, not all matrix one-soliton solutions are reducible to a simple combination of scalar solutions. Finally, by taking suitable limits of all the solutions on a nonzero background we also obtain three families of rogue-wave (i.e., rational) solutions.

Multicomponent condensates: a flexible platform for soliton physics

F. Rabec, J. Beugnon, Jean Dalibard +1 more

We present a series of experimental investigations on binary mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates. Our focus lies on the regime where the interaction parameters place the system at the threshold of miscibility. We demonstrate that the dynamics of such mixtures can be effectively reduced to a single nonlinear equation. This framework is illustrated through the discussion of stable solitonic solutions in one and two dimensions. Furthermore, we show that employing a binary mixture enables exploration beyond the dynamics governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, allowing us to address other fundamental equations in nonlinear physics, such as the Landau-Lifshitz equation describing the motion of spin chains in ferromagnetic materials.

Solitons in Bose–Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length in a Harmonic Trap

Zhang Xiao-Fei, Zhang Pei, Yang Qin

We obtain the integrable relation for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations which describes the dynamics of a Bose–Einstein Condensates with time-dependent scattering length in a harmonic potential. The exact one- and two-soliton solutions are constructed analytically by using the Hirota method. Then we further discuss the dynamics of the one soliton and the interactions between two solitons in currently experimental conditions.

On the soliton solutions of the spinor Bose-Einstein condensate

Nikolay A. Kostov, Victor Atanasov, Vladimir Stefanov Gerdjikov +1 more

A three-component nonlinear Schrodinger-type model which describes spinor Bose-Einstein condensates is studied. These types of χ3-interactions are integrable by the inverse scattering method. We analyze its Hamiltonian properties and outline an algebraic procedure to derive their three types of soliton solutions based on Zakharov-Shabat dressing method. Their applications to spinor model of Bose-Einstein condensates are discussed.

Positive and negative mass solitons in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates

Vassos Achilleos, D. J. Frantzeskakis, P. G. Kevrekidis +2 more

We present a unified description of different types of matter-wave solitons that can emerge in quasi one-dimensional spin-orbit coupled (SOC) Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). This description relies on the reduction of the original two-component Gross-Pitaevskii SOC-BEC model to a single nonlinear Schrödinger equation, via a multiscale expansion method. This way, we find approximate bright and dark soliton solutions, for attractive and repulsive interatomic interactions respectively, for different regimes of the SOC interactions. Beyond this, our approach also reveals "negative mass" regimes, where corresponding "negative mass" bright or dark solitons can exist for repulsive or attractive interactions, respectively. Such a unique opportunity stems from the structure of the excitation spectrum of the SOC-BEC. Numerical results are found to be in excellent agreement with our analytical predictions.

Scattering of solitons in binary Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-orbit and Rabi couplings

Rafael M. P. Teixeira, Wesley Bueno Cardoso

In this paper we study the scattering of solitons in a binary Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) including SO- and Rabi-couplings. To this end, we derive a reduced ODE model in view to provide a variational description of the collisional dynamics. Also, we assume negative intra- and inter-component interaction strengths, such that one obtains localized solutions even in absence of external potentials. By performing extensive numerical simulations of this model we observe that, for specific conditions, the final propagation velocity of the scattered solitons could be highly sensitive to small changes in the initial conditions, being a possible signature of chaos. Additionally, there are infinitely many intervals of regularity emerging from the obtained chaotic-like regions and forming a fractal-like structure of reflection/transmission windows. Finally, we investigate how the value of the spin-orbit coupling strength changes the critical velocities, which are minimum/maximum values for the occurrence of solitons bound-states, as well as the fractal-like structure.
