Collision dynamics of two bright solitons in growth Bose–Einstein condensates with tunable interactions

Abstract

By using the split-step fast Fourier transform (SSFFT) method, we numerically study the collision properties between two bright solitons in the growth Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with different interaction strengths under a harmonic potential. It is shown that the soliton’s collision property of the condensates can be controlled by adjusting the gain term, the initial position and the interaction strength between atoms. The number of collisions of the two bright solitons decreases first, then increases, with increasing the values of the gain term. As the initial distance between solitons increases, the number of collisions between the two bright solitons is reduced, and the first collision time is also postponed. The increase in interaction strength between atoms delays the collision time of the two bright solitons. Meanwhile, a critical interaction strength between atoms is found, the amplitude of the soliton’s first collision peak increases slowly when the interaction strength is less than the critical value, but the amplitude increases sharply when the interaction strength is more than the critical value.

Controlling interactions between bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate

He Zhang-Ming, Zhiqiang Zhang

Considering the periodically driving linear potential, we study the interactions between two solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). By using Darboux transformation, the double bright soliton solution of Gross-Pitaevskii equation is obtained. Then we numerically calculate the properties of interaction between the two bright solitons in BEC, and obtain a critical value of the S-wave scattering length (SL). It is shown that, when the SL is more than the critical value, the attractive interaction and the atom transfer between two bright solitons can be observed. While the SL is less than the critical value, two bright solitons can keep stable and localized. Furthermore, the stable periodic oscillations of two solitons can be observed by slowly changing the potential. These results will be conducive to the BEC soliton experiments.

The controlled fission, fusion and collision behavior of two species Bose–Einstein condensates with an optical potential

He Zhang-Ming, Zhu Qian-Quan, Xin Zhou

Abstract By using the Crank–Nicolson method, we investigate numerically the dynamical properties of bright–bright solitons in two species Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) trapped in an optical lattice. We confirm that the soliton splitting behavior occurs at a critical depth of optical potential. The splitting behavior of solitons and the fusion behavior of condensates can be accurately controlled by adjusting the depth and lattice parameter of optical potential, the initial amplitude and position of solitons, and the interspecies interactions. When the lattice parameter is fixed but the interspecies interaction increased exponentially with the time, each soliton splits into two soltions with different amplitude, and partial fusion of two species BECs can be found. While the interspecies interaction remains unchanged but the lattice parameter increases exponentially with the time, interestingly, the bright solitons with zero initial velocity can pass through each other and accomplish a transmission collision. Furthermore, for the case of both the interspecies interaction and lattice parameter increased exponentially with the time, a head-on collision of the bright solitons in two species BECs occurred. After the collision, each soliton splits into two soltions with equal amplitude. Meanwhile, the complete fusion of two species BECs can be observed. The relevant results can provide help for the precise manipulation of BECs experiments.

Controlling Soliton Collisions of Condensates by Time-Dependence of Both Interactions and External Potential

He Zhang-Ming, Dong-Long Wang, Jianwen Ding +1 more

Considering time-dependence of both interactions and external potential, we analytically study the collisional behaviors of two bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates by using Darboux transformation. It is found that for a closed external potential, the soliton-soliton distance is decreased with nonlinearly increased interactions, while the amplitude of each soliton increases and its width decreases. For linearly increased interactions but nonlinearly decreased external potential, especially, the atom transfer between two solitons is observed, different from previous theory of no atom transfer in solitons collision in a fixed external potential. In addition, it is shown that the collisional type, such as head-on, “chase", or collision period between two solitons, can be controlled by tuning both interactions and external potential. The predicted phenomena can be observed under the condition of the current experiments and open possibilities for future application in atoms transport.

Reflection-Transmission Transition of Bright-Bright Solitons Collision in Two Species Condensates with Repulsive Interspecies Interactions

Zhang-Ming He, Dong-Long Wang, Jian-Wen Ding +1 more

Considering repulsive interspecies interactions, we study the dynamical properties of bright-bright solitons in two species Bose—Einstein condensates by using a variational approach combined with numerical simulation. It is shown that the interactions between bright-bright solitons vary from repulsive to attractive interactions with the increasing their separating distances, and at equilibrium position the bright-bright solitons are localized. Interestingly, a transition from reflection- to transmission-collision is firstly observed, different from previous results of only reflection collision appearing there. These results will be helpful for the experimental manipulating such solitons.

Merging and splitting dynamics between two bright solitons in dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates*

Xin Li, Peng Gao, Zhan-Ying Yang +1 more

We numerically study the interaction dynamics of two bright solitons with zero initial velocities in the one-dimensional dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates. Under different dipolar strengths, the two bright solitons can merge into a breathing wave, and then split or propagate constantly after several oscillating periods. We quantitatively study the breathing frequency of wave after merging and the asymmetry property of solitons after splitting,and analyze their formation mechanism by the system’s energy evolution. Also, the change of initial phase difference brings distinct effects on the soliton interaction. Our results provide insight into the new dynamical phenomena in dipolar systems and enrich the understanding for interaction between dipolar solitons.
