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

Abstract

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 modulation of soliton dynamics in Bose–Einstein condensate by a double square well potential

Zhiqiang Zhang, Tie-Zhu Yang, Shusheng Meng +1 more

By using multiple-scale method, we analytically study the soliton dynamics of Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in a double square well potential. It is shown that dark soliton can be stable, which is generated in BEC trapped in a double square well. The amplitude and the width of dark soliton are related to the initial position of the soliton. Within the double square well, because of the confinement of the potential, the amplitude of the dark soliton is larger, while the width of the dark soliton is smaller. Furthermore, we also find that the amplitude and the width of the soliton are closely related to the depth of the double square well. With the increase of the depth, the amplitude of the dark soliton increases remarkably, while the width of the dark soliton decreases slowly.

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.

Soliton dynamical behavior of the condensates trapped in a square-well potential

Bo Zhang, Denglong Wang, She Yan-Chao +1 more

Using multiple-scale method, we study analytically the soliton dynamical behaviors of the Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a square-well potential. It is found that the square-well potential has important effects on the soliton dynamics. When the soliton goes into the square-well potential, its movement is accelerated; while it leaves the square-well potential, the soliton is decelerated. With the increase in depth of the square-well potential, the velocity of the soliton increases, and its amplitude becomes larger and its width decreases. This may serve as a reference effect for controlling the dynamical characteristics of the soliton in experiments.

On creation and evolution of dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates

Valeriy A. Brazhnyi, A. M. Kamchatnov, V. V. Konotop

Generation of dark solitons from large initial excitations and their evolution in a quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate trapped by a harmonic potential is studied analytically and numerically. In the case of a single deep soliton main characteristics of its motion such as a frequency and amplitude of oscillations are calculated by means of the perturbation theory which in the leading order results in a Newtonian dynamics, corrections to which are computed as well. It is shown that long-time dynamics of a dark soliton in a generic situation deviates substantially from outcomes of the naive application of the Ehrenfest theorem. We also consider three different techniques of controllable creation of multi-soliton structures (soliton trains) from large initial excitations and calculate their initial parameters (depths and velocities) with the use of a generalized Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule. Multi-soliton effects are discussed.

Statics and dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in double square well potentials

E. Infeld, Paweł Zin, J. Gocałek +1 more

We treat the behavior of Bose-Einstein condensates in double square well potentials of both equal and different depths. For even depth, symmetry preserving solutions to the relevant nonlinear Schrödinger equation are known, just as in the linear limit. When the nonlinearity is strong enough, symmetry breaking solutions also exist, side by side with the symmetric one. Interestingly, solutions almost entirely localized in one of the wells are known as an extreme case. Here we outline a method for obtaining all these solutions for repulsive interactions. The bifurcation point at which, for critical nonlinearity, the asymmetric solutions branch off from the symmetry preserving ones is found analytically. We also find this bifurcation point and treat the solutions generally via a Josephson junction model. When the confining potential is in the form of two wells of different depth, interesting phenomena appear. This is true of both the occurrence of the bifurcation point for the static solutions and also of the dynamics of phase and amplitude varying solutions. Again a generalization of the Josephson model proves useful. The stability of solutions is treated briefly.

Controlling soliton collision behaviors in the condensates by the height of barrier potential

Z. J. Li, F. Li, L. L. Zhang

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.
