Noise-free generation of bright matter-wave solitons

Abstract

© 2018 American Physical Society. We show how access to sufficiently flexible trapping potentials could be exploited in the generation of three-dimensional atomic bright matter-wave solitons. Our proposal provides a route towards producing bright solitonic states with good fidelity, in contrast to, for example, a nonadiabatic sweeping of an applied magnetic field through a Feshbach resonance.

Probing quantum many-body physics with bright matter-wave solitons and ultracold polar molecules

Simon L. Cornish

We report the realisation of bright matter-wave solitons and the creation of ultracold RbCs molecules using quantum degenerate gases in combination with magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances with a view to exploring applications in many-body physics.

Dynamically Stabilized Bright Solitons in a Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensate

Hiroki Saito, Masahito Ueda

We demonstrate that a matter-wave bright soliton can be stabilized in 2D free space by causing the strength of interactions to oscillate rapidly between repulsive and attractive by using, e.g., Feshbach resonance.

DYNAMICS OF BRIGHT MATTER WAVE SOLITONS IN A BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATE

F. Kh. Abdullaev, A. Gammal, A. M. Kamchatnov +1 more

Recent experimental and theoretical advances in the creation and description of bright matter wave solitons are reviewed. Several aspects are taken into account, including the physics of soliton train formation as the nonlinear Fresnel diffraction, soliton-soliton interactions, and propagation in the presence of inhomogeneities. The generation of stable bright solitons by means of Feshbach resonance techniques is also discussed.

Bright solitary matter waves: formation, stability and interactions

T. P. Billam, A. L. Marchant, Simon L. Cornish +2 more

In recent years, bright soliton-like structures composed of gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates have been generated at ultracold temperature. The experimental capacity to precisely engineer the nonlinearity and potential landscape experienced by these solitary waves offers an attractive platform for fundamental study of solitonic structures. The presence of three spatial dimensions and trapping implies that these are strictly distinct objects to the true soliton solutions. Working within the zero-temperature mean-field description, we explore the solutions and stability of bright solitary waves, as well as their interactions. Emphasis is placed on elucidating their similarities and differences to the true bright soliton. The rich behaviour introduced in the bright solitary waves includes the collapse instability and symmetry-breaking collisions. We review the experimental formation and observation of bright solitary matter waves to date, and compare to theoretical predictions. Finally we discuss the current state-of-the-art of this area, including beyond-mean-field descriptions, exotic bright solitary waves, and proposals to exploit bright solitary waves in interferometry and as surface probes.
