Matter-wave solitons of collisionally inhomogeneous condensates

Georgios Theocharis, Peter Schmelcher, P. G. Kevrekidis +1 more

We investigate the dynamics of matter-wave solitons in the presence of a spatially varying atomic scattering length and nonlinearity. The dynamics of bright and dark solitary waves is studied using the corresponding Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The numerical results are shown to be in very good agreement with the predictions of the effective equations of motion derived by adiabatic perturbation theory. The spatially dependent nonlinearity is found to lead to a gravitational potential, as well as to a renormalization of the parabolic potential coefficient. This feature allows one to influence the motion of fundamental as well as higher-order solitons.

Dynamical trapping and transmission of matter-wave solitons in a collisionally inhomogeneous environment

Georgios Theocharis, Peter Schmelcher, P. G. Kevrekidis +1 more

We investigate bright matter-wave solitons in the presence of a spatially varying scattering length. It is demonstrated that a soliton can be confined due to the inhomogeneous collisional interactions. Moreover, we observe the enhanced transmission of matter-wave solitons through potential barriers for suitably chosen spatial variations of the scattering length. The results indicate that the manipulation of atomic interactions can become a versatile tool to control matter-wave dynamics.
