Abstract

We show the possibility of producing matter-wave switching devices by using Manakov interactions between vector matter-wave solitons using two-species Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Our results establish the experimental parameters for three interaction regimes in two-species BECs: symmetric and asymmetric splitting, down-switching, and up-switching. We have studied the dependence upon the initial conditions and the kind of interaction between the two matter-wave solitons.

Formation and transformation of vector solitons in two-species Bose-Einstein condensates with a tunable interaction

Xunxu Liu, Han Pu, Bo Xiong +2 more

Under a unified theory we investigate the formation of various types of vector solitons in two-species Bose-Einstein condensates with arbitrary scattering lengths. We then show that by tuning the interaction parameter via Feshbach resonance, transformation between different types of vector solitons is possible. Our results open up alternate ways in the quantum control of multispecies Bose-Einstein condensates.

Matter wave switching in Bose–Einstein condensates via intensity redistribution soliton interactions

S. Rajendran, M. Lakshmanan, Paulsamy Muruganandam

Using time dependent nonlinear (s-wave scattering length) coupling between the components of a weakly interacting two component Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), we show the possibility of matter wave switching (fraction of atoms transfer) between the components via shape changing/intensity redistribution (matter redistribution) soliton interactions. We investigate the exact bright–bright N-soliton solution of an effective one-dimensional (1D) two component BEC by suitably tailoring the trap potential, atomic scattering length, and atom gain or loss. In particular, we show that the effective 1D coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equations with time dependent parameters can be transformed into the well known completely integrable Manakov model described by coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations by effecting a change of variables of the coordinates and the wave functions under certain conditions related to the time dependent parameters. We obtain the one-soliton solution and demonstrate the shape changing/matter redistribution interactions of two and three-soliton solutions for the time-independent expulsive harmonic trap potential, periodically modulated harmonic trap potential, and kinklike modulated harmonic trap potential. The standard elastic collision of solitons occur only for a specific choice of soliton parameters.

Interaction of dark–bright solitons in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

S Rajendran, Paulsamy Muruganandam, M. Lakshmanan

We study the interaction of dark–bright solitons in two-component Bose–Einstein condensates by suitably tailoring the trap potential, atomic scattering length and atom gain or loss. We show that the coupled Gross–Pitaevskii equation can be mapped onto the Manakov model. An interesting class of matter wave solitons and their interaction are identified with time-independent and periodically modulated trap potentials, which can be experimentally realized in two-component condensates. These include periodic collapse and revival of solitons, and snake-like matter wave solitons as well as different kinds of two-soliton interactions.

Coherent atomic soliton molecules for matter-wave switching

Chenyun Yin, Natalia G. Berloff, Víctor M. Pérez‐García +3 more

We discuss the dynamics of interacting dark-bright two-dimensional vector solitons in multicomponent immiscible bulk Bose-Einstein condensates. We describe matter-wave molecules without a scalar counterpart that can be seen as bound states of vector objects. We also analyze the possibility of using these structures as building blocks for the design of matter-wave switchers.
