Abstract

We demonstrate robust, stable, mobile, quasi-one-dimensional, dark-in-bright dipolar Bose-Einstein-condensate (BEC) solitons with a notch in the central plane formed due to dipolar interaction for repulsive contact interaction. At medium velocity the head-on collision of two such solitons is found to be quasielastic with practically no deformation. A proposal for creating dipolar dark-in-bright solitons in laboratories by phase imprinting is also discussed. A rich variety of such solitons can be formed in dipolar binary BECs, where one can have a dark-in-bright soliton coupled to a bright soliton or two coupled dark-in-bright solitons. The findings are illustrated using numerical simulation in three spatial dimensions by employing realistic interaction parameters for a dipolar ${}^{164}$Dy BEC and a binary ${}^{164}$Dy-${}^{162}$Dy BEC.

Stable and mobile two-dimensional dipolar ring-dark-in-bright Bose–Einstein condensate soliton

Sadhan K. Adhikari

Abstract We demonstrate robust, stable, mobile two-dimensional (2D) dipolar ring-dark-in-bright (RDB) Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) solitons for repulsive contact interaction, subject to a harmonic trap along the y direction perpendicular to the polarisation direction z . Such a RDB soliton has a ring-shaped notch (zero in density) imprinted on a 2D bright soliton free to move in the x − z plane. At medium velocity the head-on collision of two such solitons is found to be quasi-elastic with practically no deformation. The possibility of creating the RDB soliton by phase imprinting is demonstrated. The findings are illustrated using numerical simulation employing realistic interaction parameters in a dipolar 164 Dy BEC.

Bright dipolar Bose-Einstein-condensate soliton mobile in a direction perpendicular to polarization

Sadhan K. Adhikari

We demonstrate stable, robust, bright one-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein-condensate (BEC) solitons, moving in a direction perpendicular to the polarization direction, formed due to dipolar interaction for repulsive contact interaction. At medium velocity the head on collision of two such solitons is found to be quasielastic with practically no deformation. Upon small perturbation the solitons are found to exhibit sustained breathing oscillation. The findings are illustrated by numerical simulation using the three-dimensional mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation and a reduced two-dimensional model in three and two spatial dimensions employing realistic interaction parameters for a dipolar $^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ BEC.

Stable and mobile excited two-dimensional dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate solitons

S K Adhikari

We demonstrate robust, stable, mobile excited states of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) solitons for repulsive contact interaction with a harmonic trap along the x direction perpendicular to the polarization direction z . Such a soliton can freely move in the y – z plane. A rich variety of such excitations is considered: one quanta of excitation for movement along (i) y axis or (ii) z axis or (iii) both. A proposal for creating these excited solitonic states in a laboratory by phase imprinting is also discussed. We also consider excited states of quasi-2D dipolar BEC soliton where the sign of the dipolar interaction is reversed by a rotating orienting field. In this sign-changed case the soliton moves freely in the x – y plane under the action of a harmonic trap in the z direction. At medium velocity the head-on collision of two such solitons is found to be quasi elastic with practically no deformation. The findings are illustrated using numerical simulation in three and two spatial dimensions employing realistic interaction parameters for a dipolar 164 Dy BEC.

Two-dimensional bright and dark-in-bright dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate solitons on a one-dimensional optical lattice

S K Adhikari

Abstract We study the statics and dynamics of anisotropic, stable, bright and dark-in-bright dipolar quasi-two-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) solitons on a one-dimensional (1D) optical-lattice (OL) potential. These solitons mobile in a plane perpendicular to a 1D OL trap can have both repulsive and attractive contact interactions. Dark-in-bright solitons are the excited states of bright solitons. The solitons, when subjected to a small perturbation, exhibit sustained breathing oscillation. Dark-in-bright solitons can be created by phase imprinting a bright soliton. At medium velocities the collision between two solitons is found to be quasi-elastic. Results are demonstrated by a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equation in three spatial dimensions employing realistic interaction parameters for a dipolar 164 Dy BEC.

Demixing and symmetry breaking in binary dipolar Bose-Einstein-condensate solitons

Sadhan K. Adhikari

We demonstrate a fully demixed (separated) robust and stable bright binary dipolar Bose-Einstein-condensate soliton in a quasi-one-dimensional setting formed due to dipolar interactions for repulsive contact interactions. For large repulsive interspecies contact interaction, the first species may spatially separate from the second species, thus, forming a demixed configuration, which can be spatially symmetric or symmetry broken. In the spatially symmetric case, one of the species occupies the central region, whereas, the other species separates into two equal parts and stays predominantly out of this central region. In the symmetry-broken case, the two species stay side by side. Stability phase diagrams for the binary solitons are obtained. The results are illustrated with realistic values of parameters in the binary ${}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{}^{168}\mathrm{Er}$ and ${}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{}^{162}\mathrm{Dy}$ mixtures. The demixed solitons are really soliton molecules formed of two types of atoms. A proposal for creating dipolar solitons in experiments is also presented.
