The evolution of 2-dimension Bose-Einstein condensate soliton trapped in an anisotropy potential

Yongshan Cheng, Gong Rong-zhou

Abstract

The evolution characteristics of the 2-dimension cake-shaped Bose-Einstein Condensate(BEC) soliton trapped in an anisotropy trap are investigated by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a variational approach.It is found that by introducing an optical lattice potential into certain direction in a columniform symmetrical magnetic trap,a BEC soliton can tend to be stable in that direction and its stability may increase due to the decrease of the soliton expansion in other directions as a result of the coupling effects on those directions.The effects depends on the number of atoms in the trap,the coefficient of the trap and the parameters of the optical lattice potential.

Bose-einstein condensate solitons trapped in an optical lattice

Yongshan Cheng

The characteristics of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) bright soliton trapped in an optical lattice are investigated with direct numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. It is found that the optical lattice can be controllably used as a symmetric matter-wave splitter. Its effect depends on the initial location of the BECs soliton, the lattice amplitude and wave vector and the number of atoms in the trap.

Dynamics of two coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate solitons in an optical lattice

Yongshan Cheng, Rongzhou Gong, Hong Li

The characteristics of two coupled Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) bright solitons trapped in an optical lattice are investigated with the variational approach and direct numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. It is found that the optical lattice can be controllably used to capture and drag the coupled BEC solitons. Its effect depends on the initial location of the BEC solitons, the lattice amplitude and wave-number, and the amplitude of the coupled BEC solitons. The effective interaction between the two coupled solitons is the attractive effect.

Variational approach to the snake instability of a Bose-Einstein condensate soliton

U. Tanyeri, M. A. Gürkan, Ahmet Keleş +1 more

Solitons are striking manifestations of nonlinearity, encountered in diverse physical systems such as water waves, nonlinear optics, and Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). In BECs, dark solitons emerge as exact stationary solutions of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. While they can be long-lived in elongated traps, their stability is compromised in higher dimensions due to the snake instability, which leads to the decay of the soliton into vortex structures among other excitations. We investigate the dynamics of a dark soliton in a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an anisotropic harmonic trap. Using a variational ansatz that incorporates both the transverse bending of the soliton plane and the emergence of vortices along the nodal line, we derive equations of motion governing the soliton's evolution. This approach allows us to identify stable oscillation modes as well as the growth rates of the unstable perturbations. In particular, we determine the critical trap anisotropy required to suppress the snake instability. Our analytical predictions are in good agreement with full numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

Self-trapping of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices: The effect of the lattice dimension

Ju-Kui Xue, Ai‐Xia Zhang, Jie Liu

In the present paper, we analytically and numerically investigate the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) loaded into deep optical lattices of one dimension (1D), 2D, and 3D. We focus on the self-trapped state and the effect of the lattice dimension. Under the tight-binding approximation, we obtain an analytical criterion for the self-trapped state of BEC using the time-dependent variational method. The phase diagram for self-trapping, soliton, breather, or diffusion of a BEC cloud is obtained accordingly and verified by directly solving a discrete Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically. In particular, we find that the criterion and the phase diagrams are modified dramatically by the dimension of the optical lattices.

DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF VORTEX SOLITONS IN TWO-COMPONENT BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

Siqing He, Shifeng Li, Ying Wang +1 more

We study the evolution of vortex solitons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) trapped with harmonic potential. Based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation model and variational method, We derived the analytical vortex soliton solution that is stable under certain parametric setting. The evolutionary pattern of the vortex soliton is pictorially demonstrated showing the periodic oscillatory behavior of the systems’s distribution width. The theoretical results obtained can be used to guide corresponding vortex soliton observation in two-component BEC systems.
