Abstract

In this paper we calculated the time dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) using imaginary time split operator method. The 3D GPE is reduced according to the symmetry to the 1D and 2D equations. These equations are solved numerically propagating the solution in the imaginary time using Crank-Nicholson split time code.

Numerical solution to the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Tsogbayar Tsednee, B. Tsednee, Tsookhuu Khinayat

In this work we employ the split-step technique combined with a Legendre pseudospectral representation to solve various time-dependent GrossPitaevskii equations (GPE). Our findings based on the numerical accuracy of this approach applied for one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) problems show that it can provide accurate and stable solutions. Moreover, this approach has been applied to study the dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensate which is modeled with the GPE. The breathing of condensate with a repulsive and attractive interactions trapped in 1D and 2D harmonic potentials has been simulated as well.

Comparison of Splitting Methods for Deterministic/Stochastic Gross–Pitaevskii Equation

Jürgen Geiser, Amirbahador Nasari

In this paper, we discuss the different splitting approaches to numerically solve the Gross–Pitaevskii equation (GPE). The models are motivated from spinor Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC). This system is formed of coupled mean-field equations, which are based on coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations. We consider conservative finite-difference schemes and spectral methods for the spatial discretisation. Furthermore, we apply implicit or explicit time-integrators and combine these schemes with different splitting approaches. The numerical solutions are compared based on the conservation of the L 2 -norm with the analytical solutions. The advantages of the novel splitting methods for large time-domains are based on the asymptotic conservation of the solution of the soliton’s applications. Furthermore, we have the benefit of larger local time-steps and therefore obtain faster numerical schemes.

Bose-Einstein condensation dynamics from the numerical solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

Sadhan K. Adhikari, Paulsamy Muruganandam

We study certain stationary and time-evolution problems of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates using the numerical solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation with both spherical and axial symmetries. We consider time-evolution problems initiated by suddenly changing the interatomic scattering length or harmonic trapping potential in a stationary condensate. These changes introduce oscillations in the condensate which are studied in detail. We use a time iterative split-step method for the solution of the time-dependent GP equation, where all nonlinear and linear non-derivative terms are treated separately from the time propagation with the kinetic energy terms. Even for an arbitrarily strong nonlinear term this leads to extremely accurate and stable results after millions of time iterations of the original equation.

Validity of Gross–Pitaevskii solutions of harmonically confined BEC gases in reduced dimensions

R Zamora-Zamora, G A Domínguez-Castro, C Trallero-Giner +2 more

Abstract By exact numerical solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation in 3D, we assess the validity of 1D and 2D approximations in the study of Bose–Einstein condensates confined in harmonic trap potentials. Typically, these approximations are performed when one or more of the harmonic frequencies are much greater than the remaining ones, using arguments based on the adiabatic evolution of the initial approximated state. Deviations from the 3D solution are evaluated as a function of both the effective interaction strength and the ratio between the trap frequencies that define the reduced dimension where the condensate is confined. The observables analyzed are both of stationary and dynamical character, namely, the chemical potential, the wave function profiles, and the time evolution of the approximated 1D and 2D stationary states, considered as initial states in the 3D GP equation. Our study, besides setting quantitative limits on approximations previously developed, should be useful in actual experimental studies where quasi-1D and quasi-2D conditions are assumed. From a qualitative perspective, 1D and 2D approximations certainly become valid when the anisotropy is large, but in addition the interaction strength needs to be above a certain threshold.

Mathematical theory and numerical methods for Bose-Einstein condensation

Weizhu Bao, Yongyong Cai

In this paper, we mainly review recent results on mathematical theory andnumerical methods for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC),based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). Starting from the simplest case with one-component BEC of the weakly interacting bosons, we study the reduction of GPE to lower dimensions, the ground states of BEC including the existence and uniqueness as well as nonexistence results, and the dynamics of GPE including dynamical laws, well-posedness of the Cauchy problem as well as the finite time blow-up. To compute the ground state, the gradient flow with discrete normalization (or imaginary time) method is reviewed and various full discretization methods are presented and compared. To simulate the dynamics, both finite difference methods and time splitting spectral methods are reviewed, and their error estimates are briefly outlined. When the GPE has symmetric properties, we show how to simplify the numerical methods. Then we compare two widely used scalings, i.e. physical scaling (commonly used) and semiclassical scaling, for BEC in strong repulsive interaction regime (Thomas-Fermi regime), and discuss semiclassical limits of the GPE. Extensions of these results for one-component BEC are thencarried out for rotating BEC by GPE with an angular momentum rotation, dipolar BEC by GPE with long range dipole-dipole interaction, and two-component BEC by coupled GPEs. Finally, as a perspective, we show briefly the mathematical models forspin-1 BEC, Bogoliubov excitation and BEC at finite temperature.

Mathematical Models and Numerical Methods for Bose-Einstein Condensation

Weizhu Bao

The achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in ultracold vapors of alkali atoms has given enormous impulse to the theoretical and experimental study of dilute atomic gases in condensed quantum states inside magnetic traps and optical lattices. This article offers a short survey on mathematical models and theories as well as numerical methods for BEC based on the mean field theory. We start with the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) in three dimensions (3D) for modeling one-component BEC of the weakly interacting bosons, scale it to obtain a three-parameter model and show how to reduce it to two dimensions (2D) and one dimension (1D) GPEs in certain limiting regimes. Mathematical theories and numerical methods for ground states and dynamics of BEC are provided. Extensions to GPE with an angular momentum rotation term for a rotating BEC, to GPE with long-range anisotropic dipole-dipole interaction for a dipolar BEC and to coupled GPEs for spin-orbit coupled BECs are discussed. Finally, some conclusions are drawn and future research perspectives are discussed.
