Anisotropic Bose-Einstein Condensates and Completely Integrable Dynamical Systems
A Gaussian ansatz for the wave function of two-dimensional harmonically trapped anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates is shown to lead, via a variational procedure, to a coupled system of two second-order, nonlinear ordinary differential equations. This dynamical system is shown to be in the general class of Ermakov systems. Complete integrability of the resulting Ermakov system is proven. Usin...
متن کاملBound states of attractive Bose-Einstein condensates in shallow traps in two and three dimensions
Using variational and numerical solutions of the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation for attractive interaction (with cubic or Kerr nonlinearity) we show that a stable bound state can appear in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a localized exponentially-screened radially-symmetric harmonic potential well in two and three dimensions. We also consider an axially-symmetric configuration with ze...
متن کاملWeakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates under rotation: mean-field versus exact solutions.
We consider a weakly interacting, harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensed gas under rotation and investigate the connection between the energies obtained from mean-field calculations and from exact diagonalizations in a subspace of degenerate states. From the latter we derive an approximation scheme valid in the thermodynamic limit of many particles. Mean-field results are shown to emerge ...
متن کاملCondensates of p-wave pairs are exact solutions for rotating two-component Bose gases.
We derive exact analytical results for the wave functions and energies of harmonically trapped two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with weakly repulsive interactions under rotation. The isospin symmetric wave functions are universal and do not depend on the matrix elements of the two-body interaction. The comparison with the results from numerical diagonalization shows that the ground state...
متن کاملSuppression of collapse for matter waves with orbital angular momentum
We explore the influence of the orbital angular momentum on the collapse of vortex-free elliptic clouds of Bose–Einstein condensates with a negative scattering length trapped in a radially symmetric harmonic potential. We show that the number of trapped ultracold atoms corresponding to the collapse threshold can be radically increased for such rotating nonlinear matter waves. Below the threshol...
