Stationary solutions of Gross-Pitaevskii equations in a double square well

Weidong Li

We present analytical stationary solutions for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BECs) trapped in a double-well potential. These solutions are compared to those described by [Mahmud et al., Phys. Rev. A 66, 063607 (2002)]. In particular, we provide further evidence that symmetry preserving stationary solutions can be reduced to the eigenstates of the corresponding linear Schr\"odinger equation. Moreover, we have found that the symmetry-breaking solutions can emerge not only from bifurcations, but also from isolated points in the chemical potential--nonlinear interaction diagram. We also have found that there are some moving nodes in the symmetry-breaking solutions.

The symmetry breaking states and bifurcation of Bose–Einstein condensates in a double well

XinYan Jia, Weidong Li, Hiroshi Ezawa

An analytical approximation method to clarify the symmetry-breaking stationary solutions to the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with symmetric double-well external potential is presented. By this method, we can understand that each symmetry-breaking solution bifurcates from a symmetry-preserving solution as one varies the coupling constant of the nonlinear interaction, and predict the bifurcation point. Also, the method gives a good approximation to the energy eigenvalues of the lower states, symmetry-breaking as well as symmetry-preserving, as long as the nonlinear interaction is not too strong.
