Complementary study of the standing wave solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in dipolar quantum gases

Abstract

We study the stability of the standing wave solutions of a Gross–Pitaevskii equation describing Bose–Einstein condensation of dipolar quantum gases and characterize their orbit. As an intermediate step, we consider the corresponding constrained minimization problem and establish existence, symmetry and uniqueness of the ground state solutions.

8 ON THE GROSS–PITAEVSKII EQUATION FOR TRAPPED DIPOLAR QUANTUM GASES

Peter A. Markowich, Christof Sparber

We study the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation describing Bose–Einstein condensation of trapped dipolar quantum gases. Existence and uniqueness as well as the possible blow-up of solutions are studied. Moreover, we discuss the problem of dimension reduction for this nonlinear and nonlocal Schrödinger equation.

Ground states for dipolar quantum gases in the unstable regime

Jacopo Bellazzini, Louis Jeanjean

Abstract. We study the existence and stability / instability properties of standing waves for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation arising in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in the unstable regime. Two cases are studied: the first when the system is free, the second when gradually a trapping potential is add. In both cases this leads to the search of critical points of a constrained functional which is unbounded from below on the constraint. In the first case we prove the existence and instability of ground states by showing that the constrained functional has a so-called mountain pass geometry. In the second case we prove that, if the trapping potential is small, two different kind of standing waves appears: one corresponds to a local minima of the constrained energy functional, the other is again of mountain pass type. Despite the problem is mass supercritical and the functional unbounded from below the standing waves associated to the local minima are orbitally stable. Eventually we show that the addition of the trapping potential, however small, create a “gap ” in the ground state energy level of the system. 1.

On three-component Gross-Pitaevskii equations in the spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with trapping potentials

Zhi-You Chen, Yu-Jen Huang, Yong-Li Tang

We are concerned with the three-component generalized Gross-Pitaevskii Equations (GGPE) in the spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with trapping potentials. Under certain conditions on trapping potentials and parameters, we establish the existence and uniqueness of corresponding standing wave solutions with behaviors tending to zero at infinity. The same issues for the corresponding Dirichlet boundary value problems on the ball centered at the origin are also concluded. Additionally, we provide a classification of various types of solutions to radially symmetric situations.

On Dipolar Quantum Gases in the Unstable Regime

Jacopo Bellazzini, Louis Jeanjean

We study the nonlinear Schrödinger equation arising in dipolar Bose--Einstein condensate in the unstable regime. Two cases are studied: the first when the system is free, the second when gradually a trapping potential is added. In both cases we first focus on the existence and stability/instability properties of standing waves. Our approach leads to the search of critical points of a constrained functional which is unbounded from below on the constraint. In the free case, by showing that the constrained functional has a so-called mountain pass geometry, we prove the existence of standing states with least energy, the ground states, and show that any ground state is orbitally unstable. Moreover, when the system is free, we show that small data in the energy space scatter in all regimes, stable and unstable. In the second case, if the trapping potential is small, we prove that two different kinds of standing waves appear: one corresponds to a topological local minimizer of the constrained energy functional and consists in ground states, and the other is again of mountain pass type but now corresponds to excited states. We also prove that any ground state is a topological local minimizer. Despite the problem being mass supercritical and the functional being unbounded from below, the standing waves associated to the set of ground states turn out to be orbitally stable. Actually, from the physical point of view, the introduction of the trapping potential stabilizes the system that is initially unstable. Related to this we observe that it also creates a gap in the ground state energy level of the system. In addition when the trapping potential is active the presence of standing waves with arbitrary small norm does not permit small data scattering. Eventually some asymptotic results are also given.

Dynamical collapse of cylindrical symmetric dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates

Jacopo Bellazzini, Luigi Forcella

Abstract We study the formation of singularities for cylindrical symmetric solutions to the Gross–Pitaevskii equation describing a dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate. We prove that solutions arising from initial data with energy below the energy of the Ground State and that do not scatter collapse in finite time. The main tools to prove our result are the variational characterization of the Ground State energy, suitable localized virial identities for cylindrical symmetric functions, and general integral and pointwise estimates for operators involving powers of the Riesz transform.
