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

Ai‐Xia Zhang, Xue Ju-Kui

Abstract

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.

Dynamics of a Bright Soliton in Bose-Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length in an Expulsive Parabolic Potential

Zhaoxin Liang, Zhang Zhi-dong, Weijian Liu

We present a family of exact solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schro dinger equation which describes the dynamics of a bright soliton in Bose-Einstein condensates with the time-dependent interatomic interaction in an expulsive parabolic potential. Our results show that, under a safe range of parameters, the bright soliton can be compressed into very high local matter densities by increasing the absolute value of the atomic scattering length, which can provide an experimental tool for investigating the range of validity of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We also find that the number of atoms in the bright soliton keeps dynamic stability: a time-periodic atomic exchange is formed between the bright soliton and the background.

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.

Solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent atomic scattering length in an expulsive parabolic and complex potential

Biao Li, Xiao-Fei Zhang, Yu-Qi Li +2 more

We present two families of analytical solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, which describe the dynamics of bright and dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with the time-dependent interatomic interaction in an expulsive parabolic and complex potential. We also demonstrate that the lifetime of both a bright soliton and a dark soliton in BECs can be extended by reducing both the ratio of the axial oscillation frequency to radial oscillation frequency and the loss of atoms. It is interesting that a train of bright solitons may be excited with a strong enough background. An experimental protocol is further designed for observing this phenomenon.

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.

Spatial solitons of trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensate

Xu SiLIiu, Chen ShunFang

We present two families analytical solutions to the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE), which describe the dynamics of bright and dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensations(BECs) with varying coefficients of two and three-body interactions in a parabolic and complex potential. The properties of the dynamical evolutions of the bright and dark matter-wave solitons are investigated. It is interesting that the matter-wave can be controlled by applying the external magnetic field and a background.

Dark and bright solitons in a Bose–Einstein condensate with a Feshbach resonance

C. Yüce, Abidin Kılıç

Both dark and bright solitons are constructed exactly for a Bose–Einstein condensation with a time-dependent scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. It is shown analytically how the size of the cloud and the sharp peak of the condensate changes via the Feshbach resonance. It is also found that the atom loss due to three-body recombination can be controlled with the help of Feshbach resonance. The exact calculation is performed to compare the rate of the atom loss between the system with time-dependent scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential and the system with constant scattering length.
