Soliton creation during a Bose-Einstein condensation.

چکیده
We use the stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensation. We show that cooling into a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can create solitons with density given by the cooling rate and by the critical exponents of the transition. Thus, counting solitons left in its wake should allow one to determine the critical exponents z and nu for a BEC phase transition. The same information can be extracted from two-point correlation functions.

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 کاملCoherent Molecular Solitons in Bose-Einstein Condensates
We analyze the coherent formation of molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from an atomic BEC, using a parametric field theory approach. We point out the transition between a quantum soliton regime, where atoms couple in a local way to a classical soliton domain, where a stable coupledcondensate soliton can form in three dimensions. This gives the possibility of an intense, stable atomlaser ...
متن کاملBright matter wave solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates
We review recent experimental and theoretical work on the creation of bright matter wave solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates. In two recent experiments, solitons are formed from Bose–Einstein condensates of 7Li by utilizing a Feshbach resonance to switch from repulsive to attractive interactions. The solitons are made to propagate in a one-dimensional potential formed by a focused laser beam....
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 کاملConstruction of localized atomic wave packets
It is shown that highly localized solitons can be created in lower dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), trapped in a regular harmonic trap, by temporally varying the trap frequency. A BEC confined in such a trap can be effectively used to construct a pulsed atomic laser emitting coherent atomic wave packets. It is also shown that one has complete control over the spatio-temporal dynamic...
