The Gross-Pitaevskii Equations and Beyond for Inhomogeneous Condensed Bosons
A simple derivation of the static Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation is given from an energy variational principle. The result is then generalized heuristically to the time-dependent GP form. With this as background, a number of different experimental areas explored very recently are reviewed, in each case contact being established between the measurements and the predictions of the GP equations. T...
متن کاملSymmetry-Breaking Bifurcation in Nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross-Pitaevskii Equations
We consider a class of nonlinear Schrödinger / Gross-Pitaveskii (NLS-GP) equations, i.e. NLS with a linear potential. We obtain conditions for a symmetry breaking bifurcation in a symmetric family of states asN , the squared L2 norm (particle number, optical power), is increased. In the special case where the linear potential is a doublewell with well separation L, we estimate Ncr(L), the symme...
متن کاملOn the Modulational Stability of Gross-pittaevskii Type Equations in 1+1 Dimensions
The modulational stability of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is examined in the cases with linear and quadratic external potential. This study is motivated by recent experimental studies in the context of matter waves in BoseEinstein condensates (BECs). The linear case can be examined by means of the Tappert transformation and can be mapped to the NLS in the appropriate (constant acce...
متن کاملModulational Instability for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with a Periodic Potential
We study the stability properties of periodic solutions to the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with a periodic potential. We exploit the symmetries of the problem, in particular the Hamiltonian structure and the U(1) symmetry. We develop a simple sufficient criterion that guarantees the existence of a modulational instability spectrum along the imaginary axis. In the case of small amplitud...
