Abstract

Considering repulsive interspecies interactions, we study the dynamical properties of bright-bright solitons in two species Bose—Einstein condensates by using a variational approach combined with numerical simulation. It is shown that the interactions between bright-bright solitons vary from repulsive to attractive interactions with the increasing their separating distances, and at equilibrium position the bright-bright solitons are localized. Interestingly, a transition from reflection- to transmission-collision is firstly observed, different from previous results of only reflection collision appearing there. These results will be helpful for the experimental manipulating such solitons.

Oscillation-localization transition behavior of bright-bright solitons in two species Bose-Einstein condensates

Considering the time-dependent interspecies interactions, we study the dynamic behaviors of bright-bright solitons in two species Bose-Einstein condensates in the harmonic external potentials. In the presence of unchanged attractive interspecies and intraspecies interactions, bright-bright solitons exhibit periodic oscillations. When the attractive intraspecies interactions are fixed but the attractive interspecies interactions are increased exponentially, interestingly, a transition behavior from oscillation to localization is observed. Meanwhile, this transition behavior can be controlled by tuning the transverse trapping frequency of harmonic potential. Furthermore, an experimental protocol is designed to observe the transition behavior in the current experimental conditions.

Split and overlapped binary solitons in optical lattices

We analyze the energetic and dynamical properties of bright-bright (BB) soliton pairs in a binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates subjected to the action of a combined optical lattice, acting as an external potential for the first species while modulating the intraspecies coupling constant of the second. In particular, we use a variational approach and direct numerical integrations to investigate the existence and stability of bright-bright (BB) solitons in which the two species are either spatially separated (split soliton) or located at the same optical lattice site (overlapped soliton). The dependence of these solitons on the interspecies interaction parameter is explicitly investigated. For repulsive interspecies interaction we show the existence of a series of critical values at which transitions from an initially overlapped soliton to split solitons occur. For attractive interspecies interaction only single direct transitions from split to overlapped BB solitons are found. The possibility to use split solitons for indirect measurements of scattering lengths is also suggested.

Collision dynamics of two bright solitons in growth Bose–Einstein condensates with tunable interactions

Zhiqiang Zhang, He Zhang-Ming, Peng Miao +1 more

By using the split-step fast Fourier transform (SSFFT) method, we numerically study the collision properties between two bright solitons in the growth Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with different interaction strengths under a harmonic potential. It is shown that the soliton’s collision property of the condensates can be controlled by adjusting the gain term, the initial position and the interaction strength between atoms. The number of collisions of the two bright solitons decreases first, then increases, with increasing the values of the gain term. As the initial distance between solitons increases, the number of collisions between the two bright solitons is reduced, and the first collision time is also postponed. The increase in interaction strength between atoms delays the collision time of the two bright solitons. Meanwhile, a critical interaction strength between atoms is found, the amplitude of the soliton’s first collision peak increases slowly when the interaction strength is less than the critical value, but the amplitude increases sharply when the interaction strength is more than the critical value.

The controlled fission, fusion and collision behavior of two species Bose–Einstein condensates with an optical potential

He Zhang-Ming, Zhu Qian-Quan, Xin Zhou

Abstract By using the Crank–Nicolson method, we investigate numerically the dynamical properties of bright–bright solitons in two species Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in an optical lattice. We confirm that the soliton splitting behavior occurs at a critical depth of optical potential. The splitting behavior of solitons and the fusion behavior of condensates can be accurately controlled by adjusting the depth and lattice parameter of optical potential, the initial amplitude and position of solitons, and the interspecies interactions. When the lattice parameter is fixed but the interspecies interaction increased exponentially with the time, each soliton splits into two soltions with different amplitude, and partial fusion of two species BECs can be found. While the interspecies interaction remains unchanged but the lattice parameter increases exponentially with the time, interestingly, the bright solitons with zero initial velocity can pass through each other and accomplish a transmission collision. Furthermore, for the case of both the interspecies interaction and lattice parameter increased exponentially with the time, a head-on collision of the bright solitons in two species BECs occurred. After the collision, each soliton splits into two soltions with equal amplitude. Meanwhile, the complete fusion of two species BECs can be observed. The relevant results can provide help for the precise manipulation of BECs experiments.

Interactions between bright solitons in different species of Bose—Einstein condensates

Yan Jia-Ren, Zhou Jie

The dynamics of a bright-bright vector soliton in a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate trapping in a harmonic potential is studied. The interaction between bright solitons in different species with small separation is derived. Unlike the interaction between solitons of the same species, it is independent of the phase difference between solitons. It may be of attraction or repulsion. In the former case, each soliton will oscillate about and pass through each other around the mass-center of the system, which will also oscillate harmonically due to the harmonic trapping potential.
