Abstract
Recently, Donley et al. performed an experiment on the dynamics of collapsing and exploding Bose–Einstein condensates by suddenly changing the scattering length of atomic interaction to a large negative value on a preformed repulsive condensate of 85Rb atoms in an axially symmetric trap. Consequently, the condensate collapses and ejects atoms via explosions. We show that the accurate numerical solution of the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation with axial symmetry can explain some aspects of the dynamics of the collapsing condensate.
