Dynamically compressed bright and dark solitons in highly anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates

Bright and dark matter wave solitons are constructed analytically in a three-dimensional (3D) highly anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with a time-dependent parabolic potential, and numerical simulations are performed to confirm the existence and dynamics of such analytical solutions. Different classes of bright and dark solitons are discovered among the solutions of the generalized anisotropic (3+1)D Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our results demonstrate that the bright and dark solitary waves can be manipulated and controlled by changing the scattering length, which can be used to compress the second-order bright and dark solitons of BECs into desired peak density.

Fission and Fusion of Two Bright Solitons in a Growing Bose--Einstein Condensate

We analytically study the interaction characteristics of two bright solitons in a one-dimensional growing Bose- Einstein condensate with time-dependent periodic atomic scattering length. It is shown that the interaction between two bright solitons can generate fission and fusion in the presence of both time-dependent periodic atomic scattering length and the growing case. Furthermore, we propose experimental protocols to realize these interaction phenomena by varying the scattering length via the Feshbach resonance in the future experiment.     

Solitons in Bose-Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length in a Harmonic Trap

We obtain the integrable relation for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations which describes the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensates with time-dependent scattering length in a harmonic potential. The exact one- and two-soliton solutions are constructed analytically by using the Hirota method. Then we further discuss the dynamics of the one soliton and the interactions between two solitons in currently experimental conditions.     

Matter wave interference pattern in the collision of bright solitons

We investigate the dynamics of Bose–Einstein condensates in a quasi one-dimensional regime in a time-dependent trap and show analytically that it is possible to observe matter wave interference patterns in the intra-trap collision of two bright solitons by selectively tuning the trap frequency and scattering length.     

Dark soliton in the Bose-Einstein condensates with nonlinearity and harmonic potential managements

The dynamics of dark solitons in one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates under the nonlinearity and harmonic potential managements is investigated. It is found that at the large particle limit the macroscopic wave function could evolve self-similarly, which provides a time-varying background for the propagation of dark solitons. The approximate dark soliton solution is derived and its center-of-mass motion is predicted analytically.     

Controlling Soliton Collisions of Condensates by Time-Dependence of Both Interactions and External Potential

Considering time-dependence of both interactions and external potential, we analytically study the collisional behaviors of two bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates by using Darboux transformation. It is found that for a closed external potential, the soliton-soliton distance is decreased with nonlinearly increased interactions, while the amplitude of each soliton increases and its width decreases. For linearly increased interactions but nonlinearly decreased external potential, especially, the atom transfer between two solitons is observed, different from previous theory of no atom transfer in solitons collision in a fixed external potential. In addition, it is shown that the collisional type, such as head-on,"chase", or collision period between two solitons, can be controlled by tuning both interactions and external potential. The predicted phenomena can be observed under the condition of the current experiments and open possibilities for future application in atoms transport.     

Matter-Wave Solitons in Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates with Tunable Interactions and Time Varying Potential

We present three families of exact matter-wave soliton solutions for an effective one-dimension two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with tunable interactions, harmonic potential and gain or loss term.We investigate the dynamics of bright-bright solitons, bright-dark solitons
and dark-dark solitons for the time-dependent expulsive harmonic trap potential,periodically modulated harmonic trap potential, and kinklike modulated harmonic trap potential.Through the Feshbach resonance, these dynamics can be realized in experiments by suitable control of time-dependent trap parameters, atomic interactions, and interaction with thermal cloud.     

Bäcklund transformation,infinitely-many conservation laws,solitary and periodic waves of an extended (3 + 1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation with time-dependent coefficients

In this paper, an extended (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation with time-dependent coefficients is investigated, which comes from the second member of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy and is shown to be conditionally integrable. Bilinear form, Bäcklund transformation, Lax pair and infinitely-many conservation laws are derived via the binary Bell polynomials and symbolic computation. With the help of the bilinear form, one-, two- and three-soliton solutions are obtained via the Hirota method, one-periodic wave solutions are constructed via the Riemann theta function. Additionally, propagation and interaction of the solitons are investigated analytically and graphically, from which we find that the interaction between the solitons is elastic and the time-dependent coefficients can affect the soliton velocities, but the soliton amplitudes remain unchanged. One-periodic waves approach the one-solitary waves with the amplitudes vanishing and can be viewed as a superposition of the overlapping solitary waves, placed one period apart.

Feshbach resonance management of vector solitons in two-component Bose—Einstein condensates

We consider two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations describing a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate with time-dependent atomic interactions loaded in an external harmonic potential,and investigate the dynamics of vector solitons.By using a direct method,we construct a novel family of vector soliton solutions,which are the linear combination between dark and bright solitons in each component.Our results show that due to the superposition between dark and bright solitons,such vector solitons possess many novel and interesting properties.The dynamics of vector solitons can be controlled by the Feshbach resonance technique,and the vector solitons can keep the dynamic stability against the variation of the scattering length.     

PARTICULAR SOLITONS IN NONLINEAR LATTICE

One soliton of particle velocity and its amplitude (maximum particle velocity of one soliton) in Toda lattice is given analytically. It has also been known numerically that the maximum particle velocity (when the collision of two solitons reaches their maximum, we define V_n at this time as its maximum particle velocity) during the collision of two solitons moving in the same direction is equal to the difference between the amplitudes of two solitons if the difference is large enough; however, the maximum particle velocity is equal to the adding up of the amplitudes of two solitons moving in the opposite directions. The relationship between the maximum value of e^-(r_n)-1 and their initial amplitude of e^-(r_n)-1 is also given analytically in Toda lattice if the amplitudes of the two solitons are the same and their moving directions are opposite. Compared with the Boussinesq equation, there are differences between the Toda lattice equation and the Boussinesq equation for solitons during the collision.

Controlling the motion of solitons in BEC by a weakly periodic potential

By developing multiple-scale method combined with Wentzel--Kramer--Brillouin expansion, this paper analytically studies the modulating effect of weakly periodic potential on the dynamical properties of the Bose--Einstein condensates (BEC) trapped in harmonic magnetic traps. A black--grey soliton transition is observed in the BEC trapped in harmonic magnetic potential, due to the weakly periodic potential modulating effect. Meanwhile, it finds that with the slight increase of the weakly periodic potential strength, the velocity of the soliton decreases, while its width firstly decreases then increases, a minimum exists there. These results show that the amplitude, velocity, and width of matter solitons can be effectively managed by means of a weakly periodic potential.     

Compression of bright bound soliton trains in the Bose-Einstein condensates with exponentially time-dependent atomic scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential

Three types of two bright bound solitons with increasing coherence are investigated in the Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with the exponentially time-dependent interparticle interaction in an expulsive parabolic potential. Two methods are provided with symbolic computation to improve the number of matter density peaks within the given temporal range before the collapse of the solitons under the one-dimensional approximation: (i) enhancing the axial harmonic oscillator frequency; (ii) increasing the initial coherence of the bound solitons. Compression of the three- and four-bright-bound-soliton trains is presented. Estimation of the net binding forces among the bound solitons gives an explanation for the interaction patterns if the coherence of the bound state is limited. Our investigation theoretically reveals the existence of the bright bound solitons in the BECs and analyzes their complex interactions.

Two-dimensional spatial solitons in highly nonlocal nonlinear media

We investigate, analytically and numerically, a class of novel higher-order spatial solitons in two transverse-dimensions, in highly nonlocal nonlinear media. The stability of these solutions in propagation is confirmed by direct numerical simulation. Our results demonstrate that the higher-order spatial solitons in highly nonlocal nonlinear media can exist in various forms, such as the fundamental solitons, vortex-ring solitons, multipole solitons, and fractional solitons.     

Small Amplitude Solitons in Bose--Einstein Condensates with External Perturbation

By developing a small amplitude soliton approximation method, we study analytically weak nonlinear excitations in cigar-shaped condensates with repulsive interatomic interaction under consideration of external perturbation potential. It is shown that matter wave solitons may exist and travel over a long distance without attenuation and change in shape by properly adjusting the strength of interatomic interaction to compensate for the effect of external perturbation potential.     

DNA adsorption on graphene

We study analytically the properties of the optical absorption and the spatial weak-light solitons in a quantum dot molecule system with the interdot tunneling coupling (ITC). It is shown that, for the linear case, there exists tunneling induced transparency (TIT) in the context of a weak ITC, while the TIT can be replaced by Autler-Townes splitting in the presence of a strong ITC. For the nonlinear case, it is probable to realize the spatial optical solitons even under weak light intensity. Interestingly, we find that there appears transformation behavior between the bright and dark solitons by properly turning both the ITC strength and the detuning of the probe field. Meanwhile, the transformation condition of the bright and dark solitons is obtained. Additionally it is also found that the amplitude of the solitons first descends and then rises with the increasing of ITC strength. Our results may have potential applications for nonlinear optical experiments and optical telecommunication engineering in solid systems.
