Bright solitary waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate and their interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the dynamics of two bright solitary waves with a negative nonlinear term. The observed repulsion between two solitary waves – when these are in an antisymmetric combination – is attributed to conservation laws. Slight breaking of parity, in combination with weak relaxation of energy, leads the two solitary waves to merge. The effective repulsion between solitary waves requires certain nearly ideal conditions and is thus fragile.

Solitons for nearly integrable bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Using the explicit forms of eigenstates for linearized operator related to a matrix version of Nonlinear Schrödinger equation, soliton perturbation theory is developed for the $F=1$ bright spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. A small disturbance of the integrability condition can be considered as a small correction to the integrable equation. By choosing appropriate perturbation, the soli...
متن کاملControlled formation and reflection of a bright solitary matter-wave
Bright solitons are non-dispersive wave solutions, arising in a diverse range of nonlinear, one-dimensional systems, including atomic Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interactions. In reality, cold-atom experiments can only approach the idealized one-dimensional limit necessary for the realization of true solitons. Nevertheless, it remains possible to create bright solitary waves, the ...
متن کاملDynamical formation and interaction of bright solitary waves and solitons in the collapse of Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interactions
We model the dynamics of formation of multiple, long-lived, bright solitary waves in the collapse of Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive interactions as studied in the experiment of Cornish et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 170401 (2006)]. Using both mean-field and quantum field simulation techniques, we find that while a number of separated wave packets form as observed in the experiment, they...
متن کامل1 M ay 2 00 7 Bright solitary waves and trapped solutions in Bose - Einstein condensates with attractive interactions
We analyse the static solutions of attractive Bose-Einstein condensates under transverse confinement, both with and without axial confinement. By full numerical solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and variational methods we map out the condensate solutions, their energetic properties, and their critical points for instability. With no axial confinement a bright solitary wave solution will...
متن کاملTP02: On Bose–Einstein condensates with spatially inhomogenous scattering length
I investigated a Bose–Einstein condensate confined harmonically to 1D, within the framework of Gross–Pitaevskii mean–field theory. I consider the 1D Gross–Pitaevskii equation with a combined step in its external potential and nonlinear terms. I generalise solitary wave solutions to the equation in its nonlinear limit, to take into account a constant potential and nonlinearity. I then generalise...
