Abstract

In this paper, we study the stability of three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates of finite temperatures at which both elastic and inelastic collisions are taken into account. The modeled governing Gross-Pitaevski equation reveals inclusion of both real and imaginary components in the nonlinear terms. We find the stability region for a wide range of two- and three-body interaction terms with the inclusion of both gain and loss effects by using the Jacobian matrix. We investigate the stability of the system for possible different state of those cases. The stability properties of three-dimensional condensates are strongly altered by tuning the gain rate of their elastic collisions. These strong losses impose severe limitations for using Feshbach resonances. We finally sustain our semi analytical findings with the results of inclusive numerical simulations.

Stability of trapless Bose–Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions

We study the stabilization of a trapless Bose-Einstein condensate by analysing the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation with attractive two- and three-body interactions through both analytical and numerical methods. Using the variational method we show that there is an enhancement of the condensate stability due to the inclusion of a three-body interaction in addition to the two-body interaction. We also study the stability of the condensates in the presence of the time-varying three-body interaction. Finally we confirm the stabilization of a trapless condensate from numerical simulation.

Interplay between Binary and Three-Body Interactions and Enhancement of Stability in Trapless Dipolar Bose–Einstein Condensates

Subramaniyan Sabari, Kishor Kumar Ramavarmaraja, Ramaswamy Radha +1 more

We investigate the nonlocal Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation with long-range dipole-dipole and contact interactions (including binary and three-body collisions). We address the impact of the three-body interaction on stabilizing trapless dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs). It is found that the dipolar BECs exhibit stability not only for the usual combination of attractive binary and repulsive three-body interactions, but also for the case when these terms have opposite signs. The trapless stability of the dipolar BECs may be further enhanced by time-periodic modulation of the three-body interaction imposed by means of Feshbach resonance. The results are produced analytically using the variational approach and confirmed by numerical simulations.

Geometric resonances in Bose–Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions

We investigate geometric resonances in Bose-Einstein condensates by solving the underlying time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation for systems with two- and three-body interactions in an axially-symmetric harmonic trap. To this end, we use a recently developed analytical method [Phys. Rev. A 84, 013618 (2011)], based on both a perturbative expansion and a Poincaré-Lindstedt analysis of a Gaussian variational approach, as well as a detailed numerical study of a set of ordinary differential equations for variational parameters. By changing the anisotropy of the confining potential, we numerically observe and analytically describe strong nonlinear effects: shifts in the frequencies and mode coupling of collective modes, as well as resonances. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the stability of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of an attractive two-body interaction and a repulsive three-body interaction. In particular, we show that a small repulsive three-body interaction is able to significantly extend the stability region of the condensate.

Strongly Enhanced Inelastic Collisions in a Bose-Einstein Condensate near Feshbach Resonances

J. Stenger, S. Inouye, Michael R. Andrews +3 more

The properties of Bose-Einstein condensed gases can be strongly altered by tuning the external magnetic field near a Feshbach resonance. Feshbach resonances affect elastic collisions and lead to the observed modification of the scattering length. However, as we report here, the observed rate of inelastic collisions was strongly enhanced in a sodium Bose-Einstein condensate when the scattering length was tuned to both larger or smaller values than the off-resonant value. These strong losses impose severe limitations for using Feshbach resonances to tune the properties of Bose-Einstein condensates.
