We suggest that crucial effect on Bose-Einstein condensation in systems with attractive potential is three-body interaction. We investigate stationary solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with negative scattering length and a higher-order stabilising term in presence of an external parabolic potential. Stability properties of the condensate are similar to those for thermodynamic systems in statistical physics which have first order phase transitions. We have shown that there are three possible type of stationary solutions corresponding to stable, metastable and unstable phases. Results are discussed in relation to recently observed 7 Li condensate.

In this paper, we study the response of a Bose–Einstein condensate with strong dipole–dipole atomic interactions to periodically varying perturbation. The dynamics is governed by the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with additional nonlinear term, corresponding to a nonlocal dipolar interactions. The mathematical model, based on the variational approximation, has been developed and applied to parametric excitation of the condensate due to periodically varying coefficient of nonlocal nonlinearity. The model predicts the waveform of solitons in dipolar condensates and describes their small amplitude dynamics quite accurately. Theoretical predictions are verified by numerical simulations of the nonlocal Gross–Pitaevskii equation and good agreement between them is found. The results can lead to better understanding of the properties of ultra-cold quantum gases, such as 52 Cr , 164 Dy and 168 Er , where the long-range dipolar atomic interactions dominate the usual contact interactions.

In this study, we investigate the evolution of vortex in harmonically trapped two-component coupled Bose–Einstein condensate with quintic-order nonlinearity. We derive the vortex solution of this two-component system based on the coupled quintic-order Gross–Pitaevskii equation model and the variational method. It is found that the evolution of vortex is a metastable state. The radius of vortex soliton shrinks and expands with time, resulting in periodic breathing oscillation, and the angular frequency of the breathing oscillation is twice the value of the harmonic trapping frequency under infinitesimal nonlinear strength. At the same time, it is also found that the higher-order nonlinear term has a quantitative effect rather than a qualitative impact on the oscillation period. With practical experimental setting, we identify the quasi-stable oscillation of the derived vortex evolution mode and illustrated its features graphically. The theoretical results developed in this work can be used to guide the experimental observation of the vortex phenomenon in ultracold coupled atomic systems with quintic-order nonlinearity.

Abstract The gain or loss effect on the dynamics of the matter-wave solitons in three-component Bose-Einstein condensates with time-modulated interactions trapped in parabolic external potentials are investigated analytically. Some exact matter-wave soliton solutions to the three-coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing the three-component Bose-Einstein condensates are constructed by similarity transformation. The dynamical properties of the matter-wave solitons are analyzed graphically, and the effects of the gain or loss parameter and the frequency of the external potentials on the matter-wave solitons are explored. It is shown that the gain coefficient makes the atom condensate to absorb energy from the background, while the loss coefficient brings about the collapse of the condensate.

In this work I solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing an atomic gas confined in an isotropic harmonic trap by introducing a variational wavefunction of Gaussian type. The chemical potential of the system is calculated and the solutions are discussed in the weakly and strongly interacting regimes. For the attractive system with negative scattering length the maximum number of atoms that can be put in the condensate without collapse begins is calculated.

We study the phase separation in three-component spin-orbit-angular-momentum coupled Bose–Einstein condensate with spin-1 in three dimensions. Different types of phase-separation are acquired upon an increase of the coupling strength, magnetic gradient strength, spin-dependent interaction strength and particle number above a critical value. Increasing the value of coupling strength and other related parameters shows distinct behaviors which are produced by repulsion for large strengths of spin-orbit angular-momentum (SOAM) coupling. The present investigation is carried out through a numerical Crank–Nicolson method of the underlying mean-field Gross–Pitaevskii equation.

A theoretical scheme for an experimental implementation involving bisolitonic matter waves from an attractive Bose–Einstein condensate, is considered within the framework of a non-perturbative approach to the associate Gross–Pitaevskii equation. The model consists of a single condensate subjected to an expulsive harmonic potential creating a double-condensate structure, and a gravitational potential that induces atomic exchanges between the two overlapping post condensates. Using a non-isospectral scattering transform method, exact expressions for the bright-matter–wave bisolitons are found in terms of double-lump envelopes with the co-propagating pulses displaying more or less pronounced differences in their widths and tails depending on the mass of atoms composing the condensate.

The simple alpha-cluster model was used for the consideration of the chain states and Bose-Einstein condensation in the light self-conjugated nuclei. Obtained results were compared with predictions of the shell-model for the deformed nuclei, with calculations based on Gross-Pitaevskii equation and with recent experimental results.

Momentum distributions and temporal power spectra of nonzero temperature Bose–Einstein condensates are calculated using a Gross–Pitaevskii model. The distributions are obtained for micro-canonical ensembles (conservative Gross–Pitaevskii equation) and for grand-canonical ensembles (Gross–Pitaevskii equation with fluctuations and dissipation terms). Use is made of equivalence between statistics of the solutions of conservative Gross–Pitaevskii and dissipative complex Ginzburg–Landau equations. In all cases the occupation numbers of modes follow a 〈Nk〉 ∝ k-2 dependence, which corresponds in the long wavelength limit (k → 0) to Bose–Einstein distributions. The temporal power spectra are of 1/fα form, where: α = 2 - D/2 with D the dimension of space.

AbstractWe propose efficient and accurate numerical methods for computing the ground state and dynamics of the dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates utilising a newly developed dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) solver that is implemented with the non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) algorithm. We begin with the three-dimensional (3D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) with a DDI term and present the corresponding two-dimensional (2D) model under a strongly anisotropic confining potential. Different from existing methods, the NUFFT based DDI solver removes the singularity by adopting the spherical/polar coordinates in the Fourier space in 3D/2D, respectively, thus it can achieve spectral accuracy in space and simultaneously maintain high efficiency by making full use of FFT and NUFFT whenever it is necessary and/or needed. Then, we incorporate this solver into existing successful methods for computing the ground state and dynamics of GPE with a DDI for dipolar BEC. Extensive numerical comparisons with existing methods are carried out for computing the DDI, ground states and dynamics of the dipolar BEC. Numerical results show that our new methods outperform existing methods in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.
