Two-species Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice: analytical approximate formulae

R. Cipolatti, Leonardo Villegas-Lelovsky, Ming-Chiang Chung +1 more

Abstract Employing a general variational method and perturbation theory, we derived explicit solutions for the description of one-dimensional two species Bose–Einstein condensates confined by a harmonic trap potential in an optical lattice. We consider the system of two coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations (GPE) and derive explicit expressions for the chemical potentials and wavefunctions in terms of the atom–atom interaction parameters and laser intensity. We have compared our results with the numerical solutions of the GPE and performed a quantitative analysis for the both considered methods. We underline the importance of the obtained explicit solutions to characterize the density profile or degree of miscibility of the two components.

Feshbach resonance management of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices

Mason Alexander Porter, Marina Chugunova, Dmitry E. Pelinovsky

We analyze gap solitons in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in optical lattice potentials under Feshbach resonance management. Starting with an averaged Gross-Pitaevsky equation with a periodic potential, we employ an envelope-wave approximation to derive coupled-mode equations describing the slow BEC dynamics in the first spectral gap of the optical lattice. We construct exact analytical formulas describing gap soliton solutions and examine their spectral stability using the Chebyshev interpolation method. We show that these gap solitons are unstable far from the threshold of local bifurcation and that the instability results in the distortion of their shape. We also predict the threshold of the power of gap solitons near the local bifurcation limit.

Self-trapping of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices: The effect of the lattice dimension

Ju-Kui Xue, Ai‐Xia Zhang, Jie Liu

In the present paper, we analytically and numerically investigate the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) loaded into deep optical lattices of one dimension (1D), 2D, and 3D. We focus on the self-trapped state and the effect of the lattice dimension. Under the tight-binding approximation, we obtain an analytical criterion for the self-trapped state of BEC using the time-dependent variational method. The phase diagram for self-trapping, soliton, breather, or diffusion of a BEC cloud is obtained accordingly and verified by directly solving a discrete Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically. In particular, we find that the criterion and the phase diagrams are modified dramatically by the dimension of the optical lattices.
