Abstract

We try to find the analytical solutions to the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, a nonlinear Schrödinger equation used in the simulation of Bose—Einstein condensates trapped in a harmonic potential. Both the homotopy analysis method and the Galerkin spectral method are applied. We investigate the one-dimensional case and obtain the approximate analytical solutions successfully. Comparison between the analytical solutions and the numerical solutions has been made. The results indicate that they agree very well with each other when the atomic interaction is not too strong.

The homotopy analysis method and Galerkin spectral method are applied to find the analytical solutions for the Gross-Pitaevskii equations, a set of nonlinear Schrödinger equation used in simulation of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a harmonic potential. We investigate the one-dimensional case and get the approximate analytical solutions successfully. Comparisons between the analytical solutions and the numerical solutions have been made. The results indicate that they are in agreement well with each other when the atomic interaction is weakly. We also find a class of exact solutions for the stationary states of the spin-1 system with harmonic potential for a special case.

Spectral method for the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a harmonic trap

Claude M. Dion, Eric Cancès B

We study the numerical resolution of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, a nonlinear Schrödinger equation used to simulate the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates. Considering condensates trapped in harmonic potentials, we present an efficient algorithm by making use of a spectral-Galerkin method, using a basis set of harmonic-oscillator functions, and the Gauss-Hermite quadrature. We apply this algorithm to the simulation of condensate breathing and scissor modes.

Numerical solution to the time-independent gross-Pitaevskii Equation

Tsogbayar Tsednee, B. Tsednee, Tsookhuu Khinayat

We solve the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation modeling the Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in an anistropic harmonic potential using a pseudospectral method. Numerically obtained values for an energy and a chemical potential for the condensate with positive and negative scattering length have been compared with those from the literature. The results show that they are in good agreement when an atomic interaction is not too strong.
