Abstract

Solutions for the Nonlinear Schrodinger equation for collapsing Bose gas with attraction. This is a copy of the paper published in 1992 in Proceedings of NATO Advanced Research workshop on Singularities in Fluids, Plasmas and Optics (Heraklion, Greece) edited by R.E. Caflisch and G.C. Papanicolaou (Kluwer Academic).

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas with attractive interactions

Charles A. Sackett, Randall G. Hulet

The nature of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in atomic vapours depends critically on the mean-field interaction of the atoms. When this interaction is attractive, the number of atoms in the condensate is limited. The interplay of this limit and the natural growth of the condensate during BEC leads to complicated dynamical behaviour. We develop a model for this behaviour based on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the quantum Boltzmann equation. The condensate occupation number is predicted to oscillate rapidly as the condensate alternately fills and collapses, and the oscillations are seen to persist for many cycles before the gas comes to equilibrium. Experimental evidence for these oscillations in the case of 7 Li is presented, along with details of the experimental apparatus and methods.

Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensed Gas with Two and Three-Atom Interactions

A. Gammal, T. Frederico, Lauro Tomio

The stability of a Bose-Einstein condensed state of trapped ultra-cold atoms is investigated under the assumption of an attractive two-body and a repulsive three-body interaction. The Ginzburg-Pitaevskii-Gross (GPG) nonlinear Schrödinger equation is extended to include an effective potential dependent on the square of the density and solved numerically for the $s-$wave. The lowest frequency of the collective mode is determined through the Fourier transform of the time dependent solution and its dependences on the number of atoms and the strength of the three-body force are studied. We show that the addition of three-body dynamics can allow the number of condensed atoms to increase considerably, even when the strength of the three-body force is very small compared with the strength of the two-body force.

Dynamics and Stability of Bose-Einstein Condensates: the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation with Periodic Potential

Bernard Deconinck, Béla A. Frigyik, J. Nathan Kutz

The cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a lattice potential is used to model a periodic dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensate. Both two- and three-dimensional condensates are considered, for atomic species with either repulsive or attractive interactions. A family of exact solutions and corresponding potential is presented in terms of elliptic functions. The dynamical stability of these exact solutions is examined using both analytical and numerical methods. For condensates with repulsive atomic interactions, all stable, trivial-phase solutions are off-set from the zero level. For condensates with attractive atomic interactions, no stable solutions are found, in contrast to the one-dimensional case.

Cumulant Dynamics of Strongly Interacting Ultracold Gases

Thomas M. Hanna, Jordi Mur-Petit

We discuss the cumulant approach to the non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly-interacting ultracold atomic gases. After a general introduction, we derive a non-Markovian, nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation for a Bose-Einstein Condensate, and a non-Markovian Boltzmann equation for the one-body density matrix of a thermal Bose gas. We apply these equations to the dynamics of Feshbach molecule production.

The dynamics of collapsing Bose-Einstein condensates.

Douglas Grimm

This project aims to study the behavior of a cloud of Rubidium-85 atoms under an attractive interaction potential when used to create a Bose-Einstein condensate. Efforts to describe the dynamics of an attractive condensate using only the Gross-Pitaevskii equation have been unable to describe all of the features of such a system, and so the mathematical approach used is a perturbative method of corrections to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A system of analytical equations to describe a condensate is derived herein, which is then arranged into a form suitable for numerical solution. The actual calculation is not performed, but details of the computational procedure are provided, as well as an analysis of the difficulties inherent in the calculation.
