Abstract
We study the time evolution of a two-dimensional multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensate in an external harmonic trap with arbitrary time-dependent frequency. We show analytically that the time evolution of the total mean-square radius of the wave packet is determined in terms of the same solvable equation as in the case of a single-component condensate. The dynamics of the total mean-square radius is also the same for a rotating as well as a nonrotating multicomponent condensate. We determine the criteria for the collapse of the condensate at a finite time. Generalizing our previous work on a single-component condensate, we show explosion-implosion duality in the multicomponent condensate.
