Abstract

The recent inverse scattering method analysis by L. Martínez Alonso [J. Math. Phys. 25, 1935 (1984)] is extended to demonstrate that the Bose quantized (attractive) nonlinear Schrödinger field in 1+1 dimensions, admits fermion excitations in its (quantum soliton) spectrum.

Quantum inverse scattering method for the nonlinear Schrodinger model of fermions with attractive interaction

Haitao Fan, Fu‐Cho Pu, Bao‐Heng Zhao

The quantum inverse scattering method is applied to the nonlinear Schrodinger model of fermions with attractive interactions. Both scattering and bound-state operators are constructed. Among state operators, there are generators of infinitely many conserved quantities and the creators of the eigenstates of these quantities. The commutation relations and the eigenvalues of physical interest are calculated. The quantum Gelfand-Levitan equations are established. The Fourier transform of the connected part of the 4-point Green function and the two body S matrix are calculated explicitly.

The Quantum Nonlinear Schrödinger Model; Gelfand-Levitan Equation and Classical Soliton

Miki Wadati, Atsuo Kuniba, Tetsuro Konishi

Through the quantum inverse scattering method the nonlinear Schrödinger model is studied for the attractive case. Making use of the bound state operators and the quantum Gelfand-Levitan equation, the matrix elements of the field operator φ( x ) and the density operator φ + ( x )φ( x ) are explicitly calculated. Each matrix element is found to be expressed in a product form. Based on the results, the connection between classical soliton and the quantum field theory is investigated. It is shown that the wave form of the classical soliton is related to the matrix element of the field operator in the limit n →∞, where n is the particle number making the bound state. The powerfulness of the quantum Gelfand-Levitan equation is stressed.

Optical solitons and quantum solitons

R. Bullough, Miki Wadati

We return to the notion of optical solitons as these were first introduced—namely as exact soliton and multi-soliton solutions of the semi-classical self-induced transparency (SIT) equations. The SIT equations, even in their most general inhomogeneously broadened forms, are infinite dimensional, completely integrable Hamiltonian systems, and thus display much mathematical structure, yet their exact soliton solutions display well the nonlinear (self-induced) transparency features of the physical phenomenon. The mathematical feature of complete integrability is handed down from the SIT equations to the nonlinear Schrödinger equations and from this point of view the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations equations are studied first of all at classical level and then at quantum level. The ‘quantum soliton’ of the quantum attractive NLS model is defined and its properties investigated in detail, particularly in a comparison with the particular properties ascribed to the ‘quantum soliton’ as described in a recently published article (Abraham 1999 Phys. World (February) 21) with this title; as suggested in that article, the quantum NLS soliton is seen as a qubit for quantum information purposes. The covariant form of the quantum attractive NLS model is the quantum sine-Gordon model and this is briefly studied in the context of quantum information also; new results for large area Josephson junctions are reported in this context. The quantum soliton of the one dimensional attractive NLS model has apparently been observed in 2002 in a Bose condensed metal vapour ( 7 Li, (Khaykovich et al 2002 Science 296 1290)) and a detailed calculation suggests that the condensate undergoes a ‘collapse’ from three to one space dimensions thus forming an exact soliton solution of the one dimensional quantum attractive NLS model.

Self-bound droplet of Bose and Fermi atoms in one dimension: Collective properties in mean-field and Tonks-Girardeau regimes

Luca Salasnich, Sadhan K. Adhikari, Flavio Toigo

We investigate a dilute mixture of bosons and spin-polarized fermions in one dimension. With an attractive Bose-Fermi scattering length the ground state is a self-bound droplet, i.e., a Bose-Fermi bright soliton where the Bose and Fermi clouds are superimposed. We find that the quantum fluctuations stabilize the Bose-Fermi soliton such that the one-dimensional bright soliton exists for any finite attractive Bose-Fermi scattering length. We study density profile and collective excitations of the atomic bright soliton showing that they depend on the bosonic regime involved: mean-field or Tonks-Girardeau.

Exact Nonlinear Dynamics in Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates

Jun’ichi Ieda, Miki Wadati

Bose–Einstein Condensation (BEC) of atomic gases has attracted a renewed theoretical and experimental interest in quantum many-body systems at extremely low temperatures (Pethick & Smith; 2002). This excitement stems from two favorable features: (1) by applying magnetic fields and lasers, most of the system parameters, such as the shape, dimensionality, internal states of the condensates, and even the strength of the interatomic interactions, are controllable; (2) due to the diluteness, the mean-field theory explains experiments quite well. In particular, the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation demonstrates its validity as a basic equation for the condensate dynamics. The GP equation is the counterpart of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation in nonlinear optics. Thus, a study based on nonlinear analysis is possible and important. In nonlinear physics, a soliton is remarkable object not only for the fact that exact solutions can be obtained but also for its usefulness as a communications tool due to its robustness. In general, solitons are formed under the balance between nonlinearity and dispersion. For atomic condensates, the former is attributed to the interatomic interactions, while the latter comes from the kinetic energy. Either dark or bright solitons are allowable depending on the positive or negative sign of the interatomic coupling constants g, respectively, and indeed have been observed in a quasione-dimensional (q1D) optically constructed waveguide (Strecker et al.; 2002) (Khaykovich et al.; 2002). Such matter-wave solitons are expected in atom optics for applications in atom laser, atom interferometry, and coherent atom transport (Meystre; 2002). In this chapter, we extend the analysis of the matter-wave solitons to a multicomponent case by considering the so-called spinor condensate (Stenger et al.; 1998) whose spin degrees of freedom are liberated under optical traps. Based on theoretical and experimental results, we introduce a new integrable model which describes the dynamical properties of the matter-wave soliton of spinor condensates (Ieda et al.; 2004a). We employ the inverse scattering method to solve this model exactly. As a result, we predict the occurrence of undiscovered physical phenomena such as macroscopic spin precession and spin switching. The chapter is organized as follows. In Sec. 2, the mean field theory of condensate is briefly reviewed. Section 3 introduces an effective interatomic coupling in a q1D condensate. Using these results, we consider a spinor condensate in q1D regime in Sec. 4. Then, in Sec. 5, we
