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.     

Effect of Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length on Solitons in Bose-Einstein Condensates with a Complex Potential

We consider the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrǒdinger equations that describe the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein Condensates with time-dependent scattering length in a complex potential. Our results show that as long as the integrable relation is satisfied, exact solutions of the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrǒdinger equation can be found in a general closed form, and interactions between two solitons are modulated in a complex potential We find that the changes of the scattering length and trapping potential can be effectively used to control the interaction between two bright soliton.     

Analyzing Dynamics of a Bright Soliton in Bose-Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length

We analyze the dynamics of a bright soliton in atomic scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. Bose-Einstein condensates （BECs） with time-dependent Under a safe ravage of parameters in which the Gross-Pitaevskii （GP） equation is effective in one dimension, our results show that, the dynamics of the bright soliton can be classed into two phases, depending on the value of the scattering length. Meanwhile, there exists a critical value of the absolute value of the atomic scattering length, below which, the dynamics of the bright soliton is very regular. Those phenomena can be useful for developing concrete applications of the nonlinear matter waves. We also obtain the orbital equation of the bright soliton and get some interesting data which may be useful for the experimental observation of the bright soliton and the application of the atom laser with manipulated intensity.     

Matter-Wave Solitons in Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensates with Time-Dependent Scattering Length in a Harmonic Trap

We present three families of one-soliton solutions for (2+1)-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation with both time-dependent scattering length and gain or loss in a harmonic trap. Then we investigate the dynamics of these solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) by some selected control functions. Our results show that the intensities of these solitons first increase rapidly to the condensation peak, then decay very slowly to the background; thus the lifetime of a bright soliton, a train of bright solitons and a dark soliton in BECs can be all greatly extended. Our results offer a useful method for observing matter-wave solitons in BECs in future experiments.

Based on the mapping deformation method, we successfully obtain periodic wave solutions and solitary wave solutions, including the bright and dark soliton solutions.The results in this paper include some in the literatures [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 （2005） 050402 and Chin. Phys. Left. 22 （2005） 1855].     

Soliton Solutions in Three-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates

We obtain soliton and plane wave solutions for the coupled nonlinear Schrotinger equations, which describe the dynamics of the three-component Bose-Einstein condensates by using the Hirota method. Meanwhile we find that the system which has attractive atomic interaction will only possess a shape changing （inelastic） collision property due to intensity redistribution in the absence of the spin-exchange interaction. As a discussed example, we investigate the one-soliton, two-soliton solutions and collisional effects between bright two-soliotn solution, which lead to the intensity redistribu tion.     

Controlling the Collision Between Two Solitons in a Two-Component Condensate by Interspecies Interactions

We present a family of the solutions of two-component Bose--Einstein condensates with time-dependent scattering length by means of multiple-scale method. Our numerical calculations show that the collision properties (the position, the time, and the frequency of the collision) between two solitons can be controlled by the time-dependent interspecies scattering length.Meanwhile, we also find that the amplitude of the solitons is close relatedto the time-dependent interspecies scattering length.     

Two-Dimensional Soliton Interaction for Multi-component Bose-Einstein Condensates

For two-component disk-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive atom-atom interaction, the small amplitude, finite and long wavelength nonlinear waves can be described by a Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-Ⅰ equation at the lowest order from the originai coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. One- and two-soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev- Petviashvili-1 equation are given, therefore, the wave functions of both atomic gases are obtained as well. The instability of a soliton under higher-order long wavelength disturbance has been investigated. It is found that the instability depends on the angle between two directions of both soliton and disturbance.     

Self-Trapping of Two Weakly Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensates with Oscillating Atomic Scattering Length

We investigate the self-tapping phenomena for two weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates with a rapid periodic modulation of the atomic scattering length. By using an averaging method, the equations of motion of the slow dynamics are derived to analyze the self-trapping behavior. It is shown numerically that under certain conditions, an alternative self-trapping in either well appears.

Coexisting Condensates of Weakly Interacting Bose Gas in a Harmonic Trap

We study particles in a vortex state driven to a core state with lower energy and zero angular momentumby the trap potential asymmetries. We find that at T = 0 when the role of the thermal gas can be ignored, there will becoexisting condensates. We also calculate the fluctuation of the number difference and argue that in certain range of theparameters the state of the whole system is the macroscopic quantum self-trapping in the Josephson tunnelling regime.     

Compression of Bright Bound Solitons in the Bose-Einstein Condensates with Exponentially Time-Dependent Atomic Scattering Length by the Feshbach Resonance

We investigate compression of the bright bound solitons in the Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) by exponentially increasing the absolute value of the atomic scattering length. Similarity transformation and Hirota bilinear method are used to symbolically solve the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the time-dependent coefficients. We present types of the bright bound solitons in compression through manipulating their initial coherence. Results show that the improved quantity of the atomic density peaks can be observed before the collapse of the solitons when their coherence is increased. Furthermore, we discuss how those compressed bound solitons are influenced by the adjacent solitons. The bound structures in our study are illustrated to exist with the parameters within the current experimental capacity (the spatial and temporal ranges of the bound solitons are less than 56 μm and 50 ms in our investigation), which suggests a future observation in the BECs experiments.

Computing Ground State Solution of Bose-Einstein Condensates Trapped in One-Dimensional Harmonic Potential

For Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a harmonic potential well, we present numerical results from solving the tlme-dependent nonlinear Schrolinger equation based on the Crank-Nicolson method. With this method we are able to find the ground state wave function and energy by evolving the trial initial wave function in real and imaginary time spaces, respectively. In real time space, the results are in agreement with [Phys. Rev. A 51 （1995） 4704], but the trial wave function is restricted in a very small range. On the contrary, in imaginary time space, the trial wave function can be chosen widely, moreover, the results are stable.
