Abstract

We have shown that the application of modulating the secondary lattice is an efficient route to suppressing the generation of chaotic traveling waves of a Bose–Einstein Condensate with attractive interatomic interaction loaded into a moving optical superlattice consisting of two lattices. With the Melnikov method, we obtain the optimal value of the relative phase between the two lattice harmonics for the control of chaos. We also find that the regularization route as the potential depth of the secondary lattice is varied and fairly rich, including the period-doubling bifurcations.

Controlling chaos of a Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a moving optical Fourier-synthesized lattice

Ricardo Chacón, D. Bote, R. Carretero-González

We study the chaotic properties of steady-state traveling-wave solutions of the particle number density of a Bose-Einstein condensate with an attractive interatomic interaction loaded into a traveling optical lattice of variable shape. We demonstrate theoretically and numerically that chaotic traveling steady states can be reliably suppressed by small changes of the traveling optical lattice shape while keeping the remaining parameters constant. We find that the regularization route as the optical lattice shape is continuously varied is fairly rich, including crisis phenomena and period-doubling bifurcations. The conditions for a possible experimental realization of the control method are discussed.

Transient and stationary chaos of a Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a moving optical lattice potential

Guishu Chong, Wenhua Hai, Qiongtao Xie

Chaotic space-time evolution is investigated for the particle number density of a Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive interatomic interaction loaded into a traveling optical lattice. Melnikov chaos is studied and the weakly chaotic regime is presented analytically. Transitions from transient to stationary chaos in the space-time evolution are illustrated numerically. The results show that, on increasing the strength of the optical potential, the transient chaos falls onto several different attractors. Meanwhile, these attractors undergo a series of period-doubling bifurcations when the optical potential intensity is increased continuously, and eventually stationary chaos arises for a critical depth of the optical lattice. The obstructions to chaos caused by the damping and the motion of lattice are also demonstrated.

Anti-control of chaos in Bose-Einstein condensates

Zhixia Wang, Ke Shen

Abstract The spatial structure of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) loaded into an optical lattice potential is investigated. We suggest a method for generating chaos in BEC by modulating periodic signals to convert the regular states into chaotic states. The maximal Lyapunov exponent is calculated as a function of modulation intensity and modulation frequency respectively, and the chaotic orbits associated with the positive Lyapunov exponents.

Relation between chaos probability and zero-point number of the Melnikov function for a Bose-Einstein condensate

Qianquan Zhu, Wenhua Hai, Shiguang Rong

Abstract We investigate an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate perturbed by a weak traveling optical superlattice. It is demonstrated that under a stochastic initial set and in a given parameter region solitonic chaos appears with a certain probability that is tightly related to the zero-point number of the Melnikov function; the latter depends on the potential parameters. Effects of the lattice depths and wave vectors on the chaos probability are studied analytically and numerically, and different chaotic regions of the parameter space are found. The results suggest a feasible method for strengthening or weakening chaos by modulating the potential parameters experimentally.

Chaos control of a Bose–Einstein condensate in a moving optical lattice

Zhiying Zhang, Xiuqin Feng, Zhihai Yao

Chaos control of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) loaded into a moving optical lattice with attractive interaction is investigated on the basis of Lyapunov stability theory. Three methods are designed to control chaos in BEC. As a controller, a bias constant, periodic force, or wavelet function feedback is added to the BEC system. Numerical simulations reveal that chaotic behavior can be well controlled to achieve periodicity by regulating control parameters. Different periodic orbits are available for different control parameters only if the maximal Lyapunov exponent of the system is negative. The abundant effect of chaotic control is also demonstrated numerically. Chaos control can be realized effectively by using our proposed control strategies.
