Abstract

We present a comprehensive analysis of the form and interaction of dipolar bright solitons across the full parameter space afforded by dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates, revealing the rich behavior introduced by the non-local nonlinearity. Working within an effective one-dimensional description, we map out the existence of the soliton solutions and show three collisional regimes: free collisions, bound state formation and soliton fusion. Finally, we examine the solitons in their full three-dimensional form through a variational approach; along with regimes of instability to collapse and runaway expansion, we identify regimes of stability which are accessible to current experiments.

Highlights

  • Solitons have been observed in a profusion of physical systems, and fundamentally exhibit a dual nature possessing both wave and particle like qualities

  • We note that in each of the cases presented in figure 1 the borderline between the homogeneous and soliton solutions does not coincide with edd = 0

  • We study the collisions of two dipolar bright solitons, exploring the role the relative phase plays in collisions as a function of the DD interaction and the initial kinetic energy of the solitons
