We consider the Casimir force between two vortices due to the presence of density fluctuations induced by turbulent modes in a Bose–Einstein condensate. We discuss the cases of unbounded and finite condensates. Turbulence is described as a superposition of elementary excitations (phonons or BdG modes) in the medium. Expressions for the Casimir force between two identical vortex lines are derived, assuming that the vortices behave as point particles. Our analytical model of the Casimir force is confirmed by numerical simulations of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation, where the finite size of the vortices is retained. Our results are valid in the mean-field description of the turbulent medium. However, the Casimir force due to quantum fluctuations can also be estimated, assuming the particular case where the occupation number of the phonon modes in the condensed medium is reduced to zero and only zero-point fluctuations remain.

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.

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.

We analyze the corrections caused by finite size effects upon the ground state properties of a homogeneous one-dimensional (1D) Bose–Einstein condensate. We assume from the very beginning that the Bogoliubov’s formalism is valid and consequently, we show that in order to obtain a well-defined ground state properties, finite size effects of the system must be taken into account. Indeed, the formalism described in the present paper allows to recover the usual properties related to the ground state of a homogeneous 1D Bose–Einstein condensate but corrected by finite size effects of the system. Finally, this scenario allows us to analyze the sensitivity of the system when the Bogoliubov’s regime is valid and when finite size effects are present. These facts open the possibility to apply these ideas to more realistic scenarios, e.g. low-dimensional trapped Bose–Einstein condensates.

Under investigation in this paper is a variable-coefficient Gross–Pitaevskii equation which describes the Bose–Einstein condensate. Lax pair, bilinear forms and bilinear Bäcklund transformation for the equation under some integrable conditions are derived. Based on the Lax pair and bilinear forms, double Wronskian solutions are constructed and verified. The [Formula: see text]th-order nonautonomous solitons in terms of the double Wronskian determinant are given. Propagation and interaction for the first- and second-order nonautonomous solitons are discussed from three cases. Amplitudes of the first- and second-order nonautonomous solitons are affected by a real parameter related to the variable coefficients, but independent of the gain-or-loss coefficient [Formula: see text] and linear external potential coefficient [Formula: see text]. For Case 1 [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] leads to the accelerated propagation of nonautonomous solitons. Parabolic-, cubic-, exponential- and cosine-type nonautonomous solitons are exhibited due to the different choices of [Formula: see text]. For Case 2 [Formula: see text], if the real part of the spectral parameter equals 0, stationary soliton can be formed. If we take the harmonic external potential coefficient [Formula: see text] as a positive constant and let the real parts of the two spectral parameters be the same, bound-state-like structures can be formed, but there are only one attractive and two repulsive procedures. For Case 3 [[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are taken as nonzero constants], head-on interaction, overtaking interaction and bound-state structure can be formed based on the signs of the two spectral parameters.
