Controlling chaos in a weakly coupled array of Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

The spatial structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into an optical lattice potential is investigated and the spatially chaotic distributions of the condensates are revealed under the tight-binding approximation. Adding a laser pulse on a proper site of the lattice and treating it as a control signal, control of the chaos in the system is carried out by using the Ott-Grebogi-Yorker scheme. For an appropriate laser pulse, we can suppress the chaos and push the system onto a stable manifold of a target orbit. After the control, a regular distribution, which may be expected in experiments or practical applications, of the condensates in the coordinate space is obtained.

Controlling Chaotic Behavior in a Bose–Einstein Condensate with Linear Feedback

Zhixia Wang, Xihe Zhang, Ke Shen

The spatial structure of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) loaded into an optical lattice potential is investigated and the spatially chaotic distributions of the condensates are revealed. A method of chaos control with linear feedback is presented in this paper. By using the method, we propose a scheme of controlling chaotic behavior in a BEC with atomic mirrors. The results of the computer simulation show that controlling the chaos into the stable states could be realized by adjusting the coefficient of feedback only if the maximum Lyapunov exponent of the system is negative.

Controlling chaos in a Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a moving optical lattice potential

Zhixia Wang, Xihe Zhang, Ke Shen

The spatial structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into an optical lattice potential is investigated, and spatially chaotic distributions of the condensates are revealed. By means of changing of the s-wave scattering length with a Feshbach resonance, the chaotic behavior can be well controlled to enter into periodicity. Numerical simulation shows that there are different periodic orbits according to different s-wave scattering lengths only if the maximal Lyapunov exponent of the system is negative.

Anti-control of chaos in Bose-Einstein condensates

Zhixia Wang, Ke Shen

Abstract The spatial structure of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) loaded into an optical lattice potential is investigated. We suggest a method for generating chaos in BEC by modulating periodic signals to convert the regular states into chaotic states. The maximal Lyapunov exponent is calculated as a function of modulation intensity and modulation frequency respectively, and the chaotic orbits associated with the positive Lyapunov exponents.

Controlling chaos in a Bose-Einstein Condensation

The spatial structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) loaded into an optical lattice potential is investiga-ted. We suggest a method for eliminating chaos by modulating periodic signals to convert the chaotic state into regular state. As a function of modulation intensity and modulation frequency the maximal Lyapunov exponent is calculated respectively,and the periodic ordits associated with the negative Lyapunov exponent.

Generation and control of chaos in a Bose–Einstein condensate

Xu Jun, Hai Wen-Hua, Hui Li

For a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a double lattice consisting of two weak laser standing waves we find the Melnikov chaotic solution and chaotic region of parameter space by using the direct perturbation method. In the chaotic region, spatial evolutions of the chaotic solution and the corresponding distribution of particle number density are bounded but unpredictable between their superior and inferior limits. It is illustrated that when the relation k 1 ≈ k 2 between the two laser wave vectors is kept, the adjustment from k 2 < k 1 to k 2 ⩾ k 1 can transform the chaotic region into regular one or the other way round. This suggests a feasible scheme for generating and controlling chaos, which could lead to an experimental observation in the near future.

Controlling Chaos Probability of a Bose–Einstein Condensate in a Weak Optical Superlattice

Xu Jun, Xiaobing Luo

The spatial chaos probability of a Bose–Einstein condensate perturbed by a weak optical superlattice is studied. It is demonstrated that the spatial chaotic solution appears with a certain probability in a given parameter region under a random boundary condition. The effects of the lattice depths and wave vectors on the chaos probability are illustrated, and different regions associated with different chaos probabilities are found. This suggests a feasible scheme for suppressing and strengthening chaos by adjusting the optical superlattice experimentally.
