Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient and accurate numerical method for computing the dynamics of rotating two-component Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) which is described by coupled Gross--Pitaevskii equations (CGPEs) with an angular momentum rotation term and an external driving field. By introducing rotating Lagrangian coordinates, we eliminate the angular momentum rotation term from the CGPEs, which allows us to develop an efficient numerical method. Our method has spectral accuracy in all spatial dimensions and moreover it can be easily implemented in practice. To examine its performance, we compare our method with those reported in literature. Numerical results show that to achieve the same accuracy, our method needs much shorter computing time. We also applied our method to study the dynamic properties of rotating two-component BECs. Furthermore, we generalize our method to solve the vector Gross--Pitaevskii equations (VGPEs) which is used to study rotating multi-component BECs.

A Simple and Efficient Numerical Method for Computing the Dynamics of Rotating Bose--Einstein Condensates via Rotating Lagrangian Coordinates

Weizhu Bao, Daniel Marahrens, Qinglin Tang +1 more

We propose a simple, efficient, and accurate numerical method for simulating the dynamics of rotating Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) in a rotational frame with or without long-range dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). We begin with the three-dimensional (3D) Gross--Pitaevskii equation (GPE) with an angular momentum rotation term and/or long-range DDI, state the two-dimensional (2D) GPE obtained from the 3D GPE via dimension reduction under anisotropic external potential, and review some dynamical laws related to the 2D and 3D GPEs. By introducing a rotating Lagrangian coordinate system, the original GPEs are reformulated to GPEs without the angular momentum rotation, which is replaced by a time-dependent potential in the new coordinate system. We then cast the conserved quantities and dynamical laws in the new rotating Lagrangian coordinates. Based on the new formulation of the GPE for rotating BECs in the rotating Lagrangian coordinates, a time-splitting spectral method is presented for computing the dynamics of rotating BECs. The new numerical method is explicit, simple to implement, unconditionally stable, and very efficient in computation. It is spectral-order accurate in space and second-order accurate in time and conserves the mass on the discrete level. We compare our method with some representative methods in the literature to demonstrate its efficiency and accuracy. In addition, the numerical method is applied to test the dynamical laws of rotating BECs such as the dynamics of condensate width, angular momentum expectation, and center of mass, and to investigate numerically the dynamics and interaction of quantized vortex lattices in rotating BECs without or with the long-range DDI.

Dynamics of Rotating Bose--Einstein Condensates and its Efficient and Accurate Numerical Computation

Weizhu Bao, Qiang Du, Yanzhi Zhang

In this paper, we study the dynamics of rotating Bose--Einstein condensates (BEC) based on the Gross--Pitaevskii equation (GPE) with an angular momentum rotation term and present an efficient and accurate algorithm for numerical simulations. We examine the conservation of the angular momentum expectation and the condensate width and analyze the dynamics of a stationary state with a shift in its center. By formulating the equation in either the two-dimensional polar coordinate system or the three-dimensional cylindrical coordinate system, the angular momentum rotation term becomes a term with constant coefficients. This allows us to develop an efficient time-splitting method which is time reversible, unconditionally stable, efficient, and accurate for the problem. Moreover, it conserves the position density. We also apply the numerical method to study issues such as the stability of central vortex states and the quantized vortex lattice dynamics in rotating BEC.

A Generalized-Laguerre–Fourier–Hermite Pseudospectral Method for Computing the Dynamics of Rotating Bose–Einstein Condensates

Weizhu Bao, Hai-Liang Li, Jie Shen

A time-splitting generalized-Laguerre–Fourier–Hermite pseudospectral method is proposed for computing the dynamics of rotating Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in two and three dimensions. The new numerical method is based on the following: (i) the use of a time-splitting technique for decoupling the nonlinearity; (ii) the adoption of polar coordinates in two dimensions and cylindrical coordinates in three dimensions such that the angular rotation term becomes constant coefficient; and (iii) the construction of eigenfunctions for the linear operator by properly scaling the generalized-Laguerre, Fourier, and Hermite functions. The new method enjoys the following properties: (i) it is explicit, time reversible, and time transverse invariant; (ii) it conserves the position density and is spectrally accurate in space and second-order or fourth-order accurate in time; and (iii) it solves the problem in the original whole space instead of in a truncated artificial computational domain. The method is also extended to solve the coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations for the dynamics of rotating two-component and spin-1 BECs. Extensive numerical results for the dynamics of BECs are reported to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the new method for rotating BECs.

Ground States and Dynamics of Multicomponent Bose--Einstein Condensates

Weizhu Bao

We study numerically the time-independent vector Gross--Pitaevskii equations (VGPEs) for ground states and time-dependent VGPEs with (or without) an external driven field for dynamics describing a multicomponent Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) at zero or a very low temperature. In preparation for the numerics, we scale the three-dimensional (3d) VGPEs, approximately reduce it to lower dimensions, present a continuous normalized gradient flow (CNGF) to compute ground states of multicomponent BEC, prove energy diminishing of the CNGF, which provides a mathematical justification, and discretize it by the backward Euler finite difference (BEFD), which is monotone in linear and nonlinear cases and preserves energy diminishing property in the linear case. Then we use a time-splitting sine-spectral (TSSP) method to discretize the time-dependent VGPEs with an external driven field for computing dynamics of multicomponent BEC. The merits of the TSSP method for VGPEs are that it is explicit, unconditionally stable, time reversible and time transverse invariant if the VGPEs is, has "good" resolution in the semiclassical regime, is of spectral-order accuracy in space and second-order accuracy in time, and conserves the total particle number in the discretized level. Extensive numerical examples in three dimensions for ground states and dynamics of multicomponent BEC are presented to demonstrate the power of the numerical methods and to discuss the physics of multicomponent BEC.

Multi-parameter continuation and collocation methods for rotating multi-component Bose–Einstein condensates

S.-Y. Chen, Y.-S. Wang, B.‐W. Jeng +1 more

We describe multi-parameter continuation methods combined with spectral collocation methods for computing numerical solutions of rotating two-component Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs), which are governed by the Gross–Pitaevskii equations (GPEs). Various types of orthogonal polynomials are used as the basis functions for the trial function space. A novel multi-parameter/multiscale continuation algorithm is proposed for computing the solutions of the governing GPEs, where the chemical potential of each component and angular velocity are treated as the continuation parameters simultaneously. The proposed algorithm can effectively compute numerical solutions with abundant physical phenomena. Numerical results on rotating two-component BECs are reported.
