Abstract
We consider Bose–Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions periodically varying in time. Two models of time-dependent three-body interactions, with quadratic and quartic dependence on the two-body atomic scattering length as, are studied. It is shown that parametric instabilities in the condensate lead to the generation of Faraday waves (FWs), with wavelengths depending on the background scattering length, as well as on the frequency and amplitude of the modulations of as. From an experimental perspective, this opens a new possibility to tune the period of Faraday patterns by varying not only the frequency of modulations and background scattering length, but also the amplitude of the modulations. The latter effect can be used to estimate the parameters of three-body interactions from the FW experimental results. Theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations of the corresponding extended Gross–Pitaevskii equation.
