Abstract

By means of similarity transformation, this paper proposes the matter-wave soliton solutions and dynamics of the variable coefficient cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation arising from Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent two- and three-body interactions. It is found that, under the effect of time-dependent two- and three-body interaction and harmonic potential with time-dependent frequency, the density of atom condensates will gradually diminish and finally collapse.

Dynamics of Analytical Matter-Wave Solutions in One-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensates with Two- and Three-Body Interactions

Hai-Qin Jin, Jun-Rong He, Bin Xu +1 more

Using the F-expansion method, we present analytical matter-wave solutions to Bose-Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions through the generalized onedimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent coefficients, for the experimentally relevant quadratic potential strength. Various shapes of the analytical matter-wave solutions which have important applications of physical interest are studied in detail. In particular, the matter-wave solitons are obtained in the quintic Gross-Pitaevskii equation model, which may be produced by tuning the cubic nonlinearity to zero via the Feschbach resonance technique. Direct numerical simulation has been performed to show the stable region of the matter-wave soliton.

Matter-wave solitons of Bose–Einstein condensates with time-dependent complex potentials

Emmanuel Kengne, Ahmed Lakhssassi

To analytically investigate the matter-wave solitons of Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in time-dependent complex potential, we consider a cubic-quintic Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation with distributed coefficients and a dissipative term. By introducing a suitable ansatz, we establish the criterion of the modulational instability (MI) of the system and present an explicit expression for the growth rate of a purely growing MI. Effects of the parabolic background potential, as well as of the linear potential, the gain/loss parameter, and the two- and three-body interatomic interactions on the MI are investigated. We show how the feeding/loss parameter can be well used to control the instability of the system. The analytical resolution of the considered GP equation leads to exact bright, dark and kink solitary wave solutions which are used to investigate analytically the dynamics of matter-wave solitons in BECs under consideration. These analytical investigations show that the amplitude and the motion of bright, dark and kink solitary waves depend on the strengths of the two- and three-body interatomic interactions, as well as on the strengths of the external trapping potential and the parameter of the gain/loss of atoms in the condensate.

Impact of Three-Body Interactions and Nonlinear Dispersion on the Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Scattering Length in a Harmonic Potential

Emmanuel Kengne, Ahmed Lakhssassi

A one-dimensional (1D) Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation which governs the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with time-dependent scattering length in a harmonic potential is considered. Through a modified phase imprint transformation into the macroscopic order parameter, we suitably generate a derivative cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii (DCQ-GP) equation that describes the dynamics of condensates in the harmonic potential for both twoand three-body interatomic interactions in the presence of nonlinear dispersion. Employing a modified lens-type transformation, we reduce the DCQ-GP equation into a derivative cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau (DCQ-GL) equation that allows us to investigate the modulational instability (MI) of the system and study, through the analytical exact solutions of the considered 1D GP equation, the effects of the three-body interactions and nonlinear dispersion on the dynamics of the BECs. We observe that for BECs with repulsive two-body interatomic interactions, the attractive three-body interactions and the nonlinear dispersion have opposite effects on the condensate: (i) The attractive three-body interactions enhance the instability, while the nonlinear dispersion softens the instability of the system; (ii) the attractive three-body interactions contributes to the ejections of atoms from the condensates while the nonlinear dispersion contributes to the accumulation of atoms in the condensates; (iii) the attractive three-body interactions contributes to the broadening of the matter wave solitons, while the nonlinear dispersion contributes to the compression of the matter wave solitons.

Dynamics of matter-wave solitons in three-component Bose-Einstein condensates with time-modulated interactions and gain or loss effect

Yajie Yang, Ying Dong

Abstract The gain or loss effect on the dynamics of the matter-wave solitons in three-component Bose–Einstein condensates with time-modulated interactions trapped in parabolic external potentials are investigated analytically. Some exact matter-wave soliton solutions to the three-coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equation describing the three-component Bose–Einstein condensates are constructed by similarity transformation. The dynamical properties of the matter-wave solitons are analyzed graphically, and the effects of the gain or loss parameter and the frequency of the external potentials on the matter-wave solitons are explored. It is shown that the gain coefficient makes the atom condensate to absorb energy from the background, while the loss coefficient brings about the collapse of the condensate.

Localized nonlinear matter waves in a Bose–Einstein condensate with spatially inhomogeneous two- and three-body interactions

Deng‐Shan Wang, Xiang‐Gui Li

We investigate the profiles and stability of the localized nonlinear matter waves in a Bose–Einstein condensate with spatially inhomogeneous two- and three-body interactions in various external potentials both analytically and numerically. Several families of localized stationary solutions of the one-dimensional mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equation with cubic–quintic nonlinearities are obtained by similarity transformation. It is shown that the whole Bose–Einstein condensate can have an infinite number of localized nonlinear matter waves determined by certain non-negative integers. The linear and dynamical stabilities of the localized stationary solutions are studied numerically, and some stable localized nonlinear matter waves are found. We demonstrate that the attractive inhomogeneous two- and three-body interactions support linearly and dynamically stable localized nonlinear matter waves, but attractive two-body interaction along with repulsive three-body interaction destroys the linear stability. Moreover, an anharmonic potential is proposed to stabilize the localized nonlinear matter waves in the Bose–Einstein condensate with spatially inhomogeneous interactions.

Dynamics of kink-dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with both two- and three-body interactions

Alidou Mohamadou, Étienne Wamba, Daniel Lissouck +1 more

The matter-wave solutions of Bose-Einstein condensates with three-body interaction are examined through the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. By using a modified lens-type transformation and a further extension of the tanh-function method we obtain the exact analytical solutions which describe the propagation of kink-shaped solitons, anti-kink-shaped solitons, and other families of solitary waves. We realize that the shape of a kink solitary wave depends on both the scattering length and the parameter of atomic exchange with the substrate. The stability of the solitary waves is examined using analytical and numerical methods. Our results can also be applied to nonlinear optics in the presence of cubic-quintic media.
