Abstract

We investigate the property of isotropic harmonic traps to Fourier transform a weakly interacting Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) every quarter of a trap period. We solve the Gross–Pitaevskii equation numerically to investigate the time evolution of interacting BECs in the context of the Fourier transform, and we suggest potential applications.

Numerical study of the coupled time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation: Application to Bose-Einstein condensation

Sadhan K. Adhikari

We present a numerical study of the coupled time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which describes the Bose-Einstein condensate of several types of trapped bosons at ultralow temperature with both attractive and repulsive interatomic interactions. The same approach is used to study both stationary and time-evolution problems. We consider up to four types of atoms in the study of stationary problems. We consider the time-evolution problems where the frequencies of the traps or the atomic scattering lengths are suddenly changed in a stable preformed condensate. We also study the effect of periodically varying these frequencies or scattering lengths on a preformed condensate. These changes introduce oscillations in the condensate, which are studied in detail. Good convergence is obtained in all cases studied.

Bose-Einstein Condensation Dynamics from the Numerical Solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation by the Pseudospectral Method

Paulsamy Muruganandam, Sadhan K. Adhikari

We study certain stationary and time-evolution problems of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates of weakly interacting alkali atoms described by a nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. We suggest a pseudospectral method involving Laguerre polynomials to solve the time dependent GP for a spherically symmetric trap potential. The radial wavefunction and energy values have been calculated for different nonlinearities. Further, we study the effect of suddenly changing the interatomic scattering length or harmonic oscillator trap potential in the condensate. We also investigate the frequency of oscillation due to the variation in the strength of nonlinearity.

Interaction of solitons in elongated BEC with time-dependent trap

Vicente Pereira de Barros, Marijana Brtka, A. Gammal +1 more

The interaction of matter-wave solitons in elongated Bose–Einstein condensate with time-dependent parabolic trap is investigated using the perturbation theory based on the inverse scattering transform. Regimes of parametric and main resonances in solitons interactions are investigated for harmonic trap potentials. The predictions of the theory are confirmed by the numerical simulations of the quasi-one-dimensional Gross–Pitaevskii equation. 1.

DYNAMICS OF BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE IN FOURIER SYNTESIZED OPTICAL LATTICE POTENTIAL

Züleyha ÖZTAŞ

In this study, we examine the dynamics of Bose Einstein condensate trapped by Fourier synthesized optical lattice potential. We use time-dependent variational approach to find the ordinary differential equations of motion. We also solve directly Gross Pitaevskii equation numerically using split step Fourier method to verify our findings. Good agreement is achieved between analytical and numerical results.

Application of the homotopy analysis method for the Gross—Pitaevskii equation with a harmonic trap

Yu-Ren Shi, Cong-Bo Liu, Guanghui Wang +1 more

The Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is adopted to find the approximate analytical solutions of the Gross—Pitaevskii equation, a nonlinear Schrödinger equation is used in simulation of Bose—Einstein condensates trapped in a harmonic potential. Comparisons between the analytical solutions and the numerical solutions have been made. The results indicate that they fit very well with each other when the atomic interaction is weak.

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates under anharmonic trap

Hamid Al-Jibbouri

The dynamics of weakly interacting three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), trapped in external axially symmetric plus anharmonic distortion potential are studied. Within a variational approach and time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, the coupled condensate width equations are derived. By modulating anharmonic distortion of the trapping potential, nonlinear features are studied numerically and illustrated analytically, such as mode coupling of oscillation modes, and resonances. Furthermore, the stability of attractive interaction BEC in both repulsive and attractive anharmonic distortion is examined. We demonstrate that a small repulsive and attractive anharmonic distortion is effective in reducing (extending) the condensate stability region since it decreases (increases) the critical number of atoms in the trapping potential.
