EXACT SOLITONS IN THE GROSS–PITAEVSKII EQUATION WITH TIME-MODULATED NONLINEARITY

Abstract

Exact solitonic solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with time-modulated nonlinearity of a(t) = a0 / (t + t0) are obtained. With help of these solutions, we analyze the properties of Feshbach-managed solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates in details. Our results show that the parameters of atomic matter waves can be manipulated by proper variation of the scattering length. In particular, an exact two-soliton solution is given, from which, it is shown that the separation between the neighboring solitons can be effectively maintained by allowing the solitons to have unequal initial amplitudes.

Dynamics of Bright/Dark Solitons in Bose–Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Scattering Length and External Potential

Ai‐Xia Zhang, Xue Ju-Kui

We present an analytical study on the dynamics of bright and dark solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates with time-varying atomic scattering length in a time-varying external parabolic potential. A set of exact soliton solutions of the one-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii equation are obtained, including fundamental bright solitons, higher-order bright solitons, and dark solitons. The results show that the soliton's parameters (amplitude, width, and period) can be changed in a controllable manner by changing the scattering length and external potential. This may be helpful to design experiments.

Nonautonomous solitons in nonlinear optics and Bose-Einstein condensates

V. N. Serkin, Akira Hasegawa, Tatyana Leonidovna Belyaeva

We consider the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii models with varying nonlinearities from the point of view of their exact integrability and obtain the general solutions for these models both for confining and expulsive external potentials. We show that exact soliton solutions exist only under certain conditions and that varying in time nonlinearity and confining harmonic potential cannot be chosen independently; they satisfy the exact integrability conditions. The main features of nonautonomous matter-wave solitons near the Feshbach resonance with continuously tuned scattering length are investigated. We focus on the most physically important situations where the applied magnetic field is varying in time linearly and periodically. It is proved that near a Feshbach resonance the matter wave solitons can be stabilized even without a trapping potential. In the case of periodically varying interaction strength among atoms, variations of the external harmonic potential are found to be sign-reversal. The main difference from the canonical soliton case is that the matter-wave solitons management concept must be consistent with variations of confining potential.

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates near Feshbach resonance in external potential

Xiao-Fei Zhang, Xinghua Hu, Deng‐Shan Wang +2 more

We review our recent theoretical advances in the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates with tunable interactions using Feshbach resonance and external potential. A set of analytic and numerical methods for Gross-Pitaevskii equations are developed to study the nonlinear dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates. Analytically, we present the integrable conditions for the Gross-Pitaevskii equations with tunable interactions and external potential, and obtain a family of exact analytical solutions for one- and two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in one and two-dimensional cases. Then we apply these models to investigate the dynamics of solitons and collisions between two solitons. Numerically, the stability of the analytic exact solutions are checked and the phenomena, such as the dynamics and modulation of the ring dark soliton and vector-soliton, soliton conversion via Feshbach resonance, quantized soliton and vortex in quasi-two-dimensional are also investigated. Both the exact and numerical solutions show that the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates can be effectively controlled by the Feshbach resonance and external potential, which offer a good opportunity for manipulation of atomic matter waves and nonlinear excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates.

Analyzing Dynamics of a Bright Soliton in Bose–Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length

Wang Tian-Yuan, Zhang Xiao-Fei

We analyze the dynamics of a bright soliton in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with time-dependent atomic scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. Under a safe range of parameters in which the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation is effective in one dimension, our results show that, the dynamics of the bright soliton can be classed into two phases, depending on the value of the scattering length. Meanwhile, there exists a critical value of the absolute value of the atomic scattering length, below which, the dynamics of the bright soliton is very regular. Those phenomena can be useful for developing concrete applications of the nonlinear matter waves. We also obtain the orbital equation of the bright soliton and get some interesting data which may be useful for the experimental observation of the bright soliton and the application of the atom laser with manipulated intensity.

Nonautonomous deformed solitons in a Bose—Einstein condensate

Zejun Li, Wenhua Hai, Yan Deng

We study exact single-soliton solutions of an attractive Bose—Einstein condensate governed by a one-dimensional nonautonomous Gross—Pitaevskii system. For several different forms of time-dependent atom—atom interaction and external parabolic potential which satisfy the exact integrability scenario, we construct a set of new analytical nonautonomous deformed-soliton solutions, including the macroscopic wave function and the position of soliton's center of mass. The soliton characteristics are modulated by the external field parameters and deformation factors related to the number of the condensed atoms and the initial conditions. The results suggest a simple and effective method for experimentally generating matter-wave deformed solitons and manipulating their motions.

Controllable compression of bright soliton matter waves

Ju-Kui Xue

An analytical study on the dynamics of bright solitons of Bose–Einstein condensates (BEC) with a time-varying atomic scattering length in a time-varying expulsive parabolic potential is presented. Exact solutions of the one-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii equation are obtained. The results show that the bright soliton (including the higher-order bright soliton) can be compressed into a desired width and amplitude in a controllable manner by changing the scattering length and external potential. Furthermore, it is shown numerically that the present method is also efficient for the two-dimensional BEC's compression.
