Modulational Instability in Bose-Einstein Condensates under Feshbach Resonance Management
We investigate the modulational instability of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodic variation of their coefficients. In particular, we focus on the case of the recently proposed, experimentally realizable protocol of Feshbach Resonance Management for Bose-Einstein condensates. We derive the corresponding linear stability equation analytically and we show that it can be reduced to a Kro...
متن کاملRotonlike instability and pattern formation in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates.
We show that metastable phases of an antiferromagnetic spin-1 condensate in a simple model with pure contact interactions can exhibit a rotonlike minimum in the excitation spectrum. The introduction of a magnetic field gives rise to the instability of roton modes, which can lead to spontaneous emergence of regular periodic, polygonal, polyhedral, or crystalline patterns, as shown in numerical s...
متن کاملDark-dark solitons and modulational instability in miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensates
We investigate the dynamics of two miscible superfluids experiencing fast counterflow in a narrow channel. The superfluids are formed by two distinguishable components of a trapped dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The onset of counterflow-induced modulational instability throughout the cloud is observed and shown to lead to the proliferation of dark-dark vector solitons. These soliton...
متن کاملDynamical instability in kicked Bose-Einstein condensates
Bose-Einstein condensates subject to short pulses “kicks” from standing waves of light represent a nonlinear analog of the well-known chaos paradigm, the quantum kicked rotor. Previous studies of the onset of dynamical instability i.e., exponential proliferation of noncondensate particles suggested that the transition to instability might be associated with a transition to chaos. Here we conclu...
متن کاملDisruption of reflecting Bose-Einstein condensates due to quantum noise and modulational instability
We perform fully three-dimensional simulations, using the truncated Wigner method, to investigate the reflection of Bose-Einstein condensates from abrupt potential barriers. We show that the interatomic interactions can produce a modulational instability in a cigarshaped cloud with a high atom density at low approach velocities, disrupting its internal structure, damping the center-of-mass moti...
