Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the stability of nonlinear localized modes in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattice by anti-continuum approach. It is relatively convenient to employ the anti-continuum method for solving discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This method has shown the ability to produce similar result of analysis of the system stability as produced by other methods. The dynamical stability of the system has been investigated within certain permissible range of parameters.

Study of localized solutions of the nonlinear discrete model for dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice by the homoclinic orbit method

Azeddine Messikh, Bakhram Umarov

It is well known that the dynamics of the Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in an optical lattice can be described in tight-binding approximation by the discrete Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation (DNLSE) [1,2]. This model opens the way to study different aspects of the BEC dynamics in an optical lattice, such as discrete solitons and nonlinear localized modes and their stability and dynamics, modulational instability, superfluid-insulator transition, etc.

Nonlinear localized modes in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices

Modulational instability and discrete matter wave solitons in dipolar BECs, loaded into a deep optical lattice, are investigated analytically and numerically. The process of modulational instability of nonlinear plane matter waves in a dipolar nonlinear lattice is studied and the regions of instability are established. The existence and stability of bulk discrete solitons are analyzed analytically and confirmed by numerical simulations. In marked contrast with the usual discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger behavior (no dipolar interactions), we found a region where the two fundamental modes are simultaneously unstable, allowing enhanced mobility across the lattice for large norm values. To study the existence and properties of surface discrete solitons, an analysis of the dimer configuration is performed. The properties of symmetric and antisymmetric modes including stability diagrams and bifurcations are investigated in closed form. For the case of a bulk medium, properties of fundamental on-site and intersite localized modes are analyzed. On-site and intersite surface localized modes are studied, and we find that they do not exist when nonlocal interactions predominate with respect to local ones.

MODULATIONAL INSTABILITY OF DIPOLAR BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES IN AN OPTICAL LATTICE

Haifeng Chen, J. C. Huang, Zhengwei Xie

From the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the linear stability analysis, the modulational instability (MI) of dipolar Bose–Einstein Condensates (BECs) in an optical lattice is studied. The MI relation of the dipolar BECs in the optical lattice with the on-site interaction and the inter-site interaction is obtained. The results show that there is a great influence of inter-site interaction on MI of dipolar BEC in the optical lattice. This gives us some useful information for manipulating dipolar BECs in practice.

Nonlinear dynamics of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice

Zhengwei Xie, Ze-Xian Cao, Efim I Kats +1 more

The dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices with the long-range dipole-dipole interactions, the short-range on-site interactions, and hopping terms is reduced to the generalized discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We present the different types of solitary excitations which appear in different parameter regions. We anticipate that these excitations will be observable and discuss how the model parameters can be tuned in experiments.

Solitons mobility in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice

Bakhram Umarov, Abdelaziz Benzeghir

The present work is devoted to the theoretical investigation of the dynamics of Bose –Einstein condensates (BEC) in optical lattice with the long range magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between atoms. The system is described by a nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). We consider the case when the lattice depth is sufficiently large (tight binding approximation). In this case nonlocal NLSE can be reduced to discrete NLSE equation. We show that discrete NLSE equation for some range of parameters can be reduced further to integrable Ablowitz-Ladik equation which supports moving solitons. Taking the one-soliton solution of Ablowitz-Ladik equation as an initial condition we have performed detailed numerical study of a soliton dynamics in both nonlocal NLSE and discrete NLSE. The conditions of existence and stability of moving solitons in dipolar BEC in an optical lattice are numerically revealed. Also the applicability limits for the tight binding approximation for the experimentally achievable range of parameters are investigated.

Dynamical stability of dipolar condensate in a parametrically modulated one-dimensional optical lattice*

Ji-Li Ma, X. X. Li, Rui-Jin Cheng +2 more

We study the stabilization properties of dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate in a deep one-dimensional optical lattice with an additional external parametrically modulated harmonic trap potential. Through both analytical and numerical methods, we solve a dimensionless nonlocal nonlinear discrete Gross–Pitaevskii equation with both the short-range contact interaction and the long-range dipole–dipole interaction. It is shown that, the stability of dipolar condensate in modulated deep optical lattice can be controled by coupled effects of the contact interaction, the dipolar interaction and the external modulation. The system can be stabilized when the dipolar interaction, the contact interaction, the average strength of potential and the ratio of amplitude to frequency of the modulation satisfy a critical condition. In addition, the breather state, the diffused state and the attractive-interaction-induced-trapped state are predicted. The dipolar interaction and the external modulation of the lattice play important roles in stabilizing the condensate.
