Physical Review A

Nonlinear Rabi oscillations in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Abstract

For a Bose-Einstein condensate in a trap with oscillating barriers, in the resonance approximation, evolution equations are derived. Their analytical solution reveals the existence of two fundamentally different types of nonlinear conservative Rabi oscillations: (i) with periodic temporal variation of moduli and phase difference of levels' amplitudes of probability, and (ii) with monotonic temporal variation of the phase difference. It is shown that the two types can be realized for the same parameters of the scheme, but for different initial conditions. Analytical predictions are confirmed by numerical solution to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

Resonances in a trapped 3D Bose–Einstein condensate under periodically varying atomic scattering length

F. Kh. Abdullaev, R. M. Galimzyanov, Marijana Brtka +1 more

Nonlinear oscillations of a 3D radial symmetric Bose-Einstein condensate under periodic variation in time of the atomic scattering length have been studied analytically and numerically. The time-dependent variational approach is used for the analysis of the characteristics of nonlinear resonances in the oscillations of the condensate. The bistability in oscillations of the BEC width is invistigated. The dependence of the BEC collapse threshold on the drive amplitude and parameters of the condensate and trap is found. Predictions of the theory are confirmed by numerical simulations of the full Gross-Pitaevski equation.

Resonance in Bose Einstein condensate oscillation from a periodic variation in scattering length

Sadhan K Adhikari

Using the explicit numerical solution of the axially symmetric Gross–Pitaevskii equation, we study the oscillation of the Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) induced by a periodic variation in the atomic scattering length a . When the frequency of oscillation of a is an even multiple of the radial or axial trap frequency, respectively, the radial or axial oscillation of the condensate exhibits resonance with a novel feature. In this nonlinear problem without damping, at resonance in the steady state the amplitude of oscillation passes through a maximum and minimum. Such a growth and decay cycle of the amplitude may keep on repeating. Similar behaviour is also observed in a rotating BEC.

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates: Variational solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations

Víctor M. Pérez‐García, Humberto Michinel, J. I. Cirac +2 more

A variational technique is applied to solve the time-dependent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (Gross-Pitaevskii equation) with the goal to model the dynamics of dilute ultracold atom clouds in the Bose-Einstein condensed phase. We derive analytical predictions for the collapse, equilibrium widths, and evolution laws of the condensate parameters and find them to be in very good agreement with our numerical simulations of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. It is found that not only the number of particles, but also both the initial width of the condensate and the effect of different perturbations to the condensate may play a crucial role in the collapse dynamics. The results are applicable when the shape of the condensate is sufficiently simple.

Quantum oscillations between weakly coupled Bose–Einstein condensates: Evolution in a non-degenerate double well

John D. Andersen, S. Raghavan, V. M. Kenkre

In this paper, we discuss coherent atomic oscillations between two weakly coupled Bose–Einstein condensates that are energetically different. The weak link is notionally provided by a laser barrier in a (possibly asymmetric) multi-well trap or by Raman coupling between condensates in different hyperfine levels. The resultant boson Josephson junction dynamics is described by a double-well nonlinear Gross–Pitaevskii equation. On the basis of a new set of Jacobian elliptic function solutions, we describe the period of the oscillations as well as associated quantities and predict novel observable consequences of the interplay of the energy difference and initial phase difference between the two condensate populations.

Collective oscillations of one-dimensional Bose-Einstein gas in a time-varying trap potential and atomic scattering length

F. Kh. Abdullaev, Josselin C. Garnier

The collective oscillations of one-dimensional (1D) repulsive Bose gas with external harmonic confinement in two different regimes are studied. The first regime is the mean-field regime when the density is high. The second regime is the Tonks-Girardeau regime when the density is low. We investigate the resonances under periodic modulations of the trap potential and the effective nonlinearity. Modulations of the effective nonlinear coefficient result from modulations of the atomic scattering length by the Feshbach resonance method or variations of the transverse trap frequency. In the mean-field regime we predict bistability in the nonlinear oscillations of the condensate. In the Tonks-Girardeau regime the resonance has the character of a linear parametric resonance. In the case of rapid strong modulations of the nonlinear coefficient we find analytical expressions for the nonlinearity managed soliton width and the frequency of the slow secondary oscillations near the fixed point. We confirm the analytical predictions by direct numerical simulations of the 1D Gross-Pitaevskii equation and the effective nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with quintic nonlinearity and trap potential.
