Analytical solutions to the spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensates

Abstract

We analytically solve the one-dimensional coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations which govern the motion of F=1 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. The nonlinear density-density interactions are decoupled by making use of the unique properties of the Jacobian elliptical functions. Several types of complex stationary solutions are deduced. Furthermore, exact non-stationary solutions to the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equations are constructed by making use of the spin-rotational symmetry of the Hamiltonian. The spin-polarizations exhibit kinked configurations. Our method is applicable to other coupled nonlinear systems.

EXACT SOLUTIONS TO THE SPIN-2 GROSS–PITAEVSKII EQUATIONS

ZHI-HAI ZHANG, YONG-KAI LIU, SHI-JIE YANG

We present several exact solutions to the coupled nonlinear Gross–Pitaevskii equations which describe the motion of the one-dimensional spin-2 Bose–Einstein condensates. The nonlinear density–density interactions are decoupled by making use of the properties of Jacobian elliptical functions. The distinct time factors in each hyperfine state implies a "Lamor" procession in these solutions. Furthermore, exact time-evolving solutions to the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equations are constructed through the spin-rotational symmetry of the Hamiltonian. The spin-polarizations and density distributions in the spin-space are analyzed.

Exact periodic and solitonic states in the spinor condensates

Zhihai Zhang, Shi-Jie Yang

We propose a method to analytically solve the one-dimensional coupled nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equations which govern the motion of the spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. In a uniform external potential, the Hamiltonian comprises the kinetic energy, the linear and the quadratic Zeeman energies. Several classes of exact periodic and solitonic solutions, either in real or in complex forms, are obtained for both the F=1 and F=2 condensates. These solutions are general that contain neither approximations nor constraints on the system parameters.

Dynamical Laws of the Coupled Gross-Pitaevskii Equations for Spin-1 Bose-Einstein Condensates

Weizhu Bao, Yanzhi Zhang

In this paper, we derive analytically the dynamical laws of the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations (CGPEs) without/with an angular momentum rotation term and an external magnetic field for modelling nonrotating/rotating spin-1 Bose-Eintein condensates.We prove the conservation of the angular momentum expectation when the external trapping potential is radially symmetric in two dimensions and cylindrically symmetric in three dimensions; obtain a system of first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) governing the dynamics of the density of each component and solve the ODEs analytically in a few cases; derive a second order ODE for the dynamics of the condensate width and show that it is a periodic function without/with a perturbation; construct the analytical solution of the CGPEs when the initial data is chosen as a stationary state with its centerof-mass shifted away from the external trap center.Finally, these dynamical laws are confirmed by the direct numerical simulation results of the CGPEs.

Analytical solutions for the spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap

Yu-Ren Shi, Xue-Ling Wang, Guanghui Wang +3 more

The homotopy analysis method and Galerkin spectral method are applied to find the analytical solutions for the Gross-Pitaevskii equations, a set of nonlinear Schrödinger equation used in simulation of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a harmonic potential. We investigate the one-dimensional case and get the approximate analytical solutions successfully. Comparisons between the analytical solutions and the numerical solutions have been made. The results indicate that they are in agreement well with each other when the atomic interaction is weakly. We also find a class of exact solutions for the stationary states of the spin-1 system with harmonic potential for a special case.

Exact Temporal Evolution of Two-Species Bose—Einstein Condensates

Cong Zhang, Zhihai Zhang, Shi-Jie Yang

We construct exact stationary solutions to the one-dimensional coupled Gross—Pitaevskii equations for the two-species Bose—Einstein condensates with equal intraspecies and interspecies interaction constants. Three types of complex solutions as well as their soliton limits are derived. By making use of the SU(2) unitary symmetry, we further obtain analytical time-evolving solutions. These solutions exhibit spatiotemporal periodicity.

Multi-Type Solitons in Spin-Orbit Coupled Spin-1 Bose–Einstein Condensates

Juntao He, Ping-Ping Fang, Ji Lin

Recently, research of solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates has become a popular topic. Here, we mainly study exact analytical solutions of Gross–Pitaevskii equations describing spin-orbit coupled spin-1 Bose–Einstein condensates. To begin with, we show the analytical relation between different types of one-dimensional spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman effect. In addition, we find a transformation that can simplify the three-component Gross–Pitaevskii equations with spin-orbit coupling into the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The abundant stripe phase and dynamic characteristics of the system are investigated.
