Abstract

We study the linear stability and collision characteristics of the solitons of the Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in two barrier potentials. It is shown that the soliton obtained at the top of the barrier potential is stable. Especially, when the two barrier potentials are considered as the output source of the dark solitons, the collision spots and pattern (such as chase, head-on or localization and through collision) of two solitons may be manipulated by the height of the barrier potential.

Controlling the collision between two solitons in the condensates by a double-barrier potential

Zhi-Jian Li, Jin-Hui Li

We present an analytical solution of two solitons of Bose—Einstein condensates trapped in a double-barrier potential by using a multiple-scale method. In the linear case, we find that the stable spots of the soliton formation are at the top of the barrier potential and at the region of barrier potential absence. For weak nonlinearity, it is shown that the height of the barrier potential has an important effect on the dark soliton dynamical properties. Especially, in the case of regarding a double-barrier potential as the output source of the solitons, the collision spots between two dark solitons can be controlled by the height of the barrier potential.

Effect of a barrier potential on soliton dynamical characteristics in condensates

Jin-Hui Li

By using the multiple-scale method, this paper analytically studies the effect of a barrier potential on the dynamical characteristics of the soliton in Bose–Einstein condensates. It is shown that a stable soliton is exhibited at the top of the barrier potential and the region of the absence of the barrier potential. Meanwhile, it is found that the height of the barrier potential has an important effect on the dark soliton dynamical characteristics in the condensates. With the increase of height of the barrier potential, the amplitude of the dark soliton becomes smaller, its width is narrower, and the soliton propagates more slowly.

Controlling Soliton Collisions of Condensates by Time-Dependence of Both Interactions and External Potential

He Zhang-Ming, Dong-Long Wang, Jianwen Ding +1 more

Considering time-dependence of both interactions and external potential, we analytically study the collisional behaviors of two bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates by using Darboux transformation. It is found that for a closed external potential, the soliton-soliton distance is decreased with nonlinearly increased interactions, while the amplitude of each soliton increases and its width decreases. For linearly increased interactions but nonlinearly decreased external potential, especially, the atom transfer between two solitons is observed, different from previous theory of no atom transfer in solitons collision in a fixed external potential. In addition, it is shown that the collisional type, such as head-on, “chase", or collision period between two solitons, can be controlled by tuning both interactions and external potential. The predicted phenomena can be observed under the condition of the current experiments and open possibilities for future application in atoms transport.

Soliton dynamical properties of Bose—Einstein condensates trapped in a double square well potential

Jin-Hui Li, Zhi-Jian Li

We first present an analytical solution of the single and double solitions of Bose—Einstein condensates trapped in a double square well potential using the multiple-scale method. Then, we show by numerical calculation that a dark soliton can be transmitted through the square well potential. With increasing depth of the square well potential, the amplitude of the dark soliton becomes larger, and the soliton propagates faster. In particular, we treat the collision behaviour of the condensates trapped in either equal or different depths of the double square well potential. If we regard the double square well potential as the output source of the solitons, the collision locations (position and time) between two dark solitons can be controlled by its depth.

The controlled fission, fusion and collision behavior of two species Bose–Einstein condensates with an optical potential

He Zhang-Ming, Zhu Qian-Quan, Xin Zhou

Abstract By using the Crank–Nicolson method, we investigate numerically the dynamical properties of bright–bright solitons in two species Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in an optical lattice. We confirm that the soliton splitting behavior occurs at a critical depth of optical potential. The splitting behavior of solitons and the fusion behavior of condensates can be accurately controlled by adjusting the depth and lattice parameter of optical potential, the initial amplitude and position of solitons, and the interspecies interactions. When the lattice parameter is fixed but the interspecies interaction increased exponentially with the time, each soliton splits into two soltions with different amplitude, and partial fusion of two species BECs can be found. While the interspecies interaction remains unchanged but the lattice parameter increases exponentially with the time, interestingly, the bright solitons with zero initial velocity can pass through each other and accomplish a transmission collision. Furthermore, for the case of both the interspecies interaction and lattice parameter increased exponentially with the time, a head-on collision of the bright solitons in two species BECs occurred. After the collision, each soliton splits into two soltions with equal amplitude. Meanwhile, the complete fusion of two species BECs can be observed. The relevant results can provide help for the precise manipulation of BECs experiments.

Controlling interactions between bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate

He Zhang-Ming, Zhiqiang Zhang

Considering the periodically driving linear potential, we study the interactions between two solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). By using Darboux transformation, the double bright soliton solution of Gross-Pitaevskii equation is obtained. Then we numerically calculate the properties of interaction between the two bright solitons in BEC, and obtain a critical value of the S-wave scattering length (SL). It is shown that, when the SL is more than the critical value, the attractive interaction and the atom transfer between two bright solitons can be observed. While the SL is less than the critical value, two bright solitons can keep stable and localized. Furthermore, the stable periodic oscillations of two solitons can be observed by slowly changing the potential. These results will be conducive to the BEC soliton experiments.
