Abstract
The unexpected emerging stability of a time-modulated magnetic guide, realized without external offset fields, is demonstrated. We found a steady periodic solution around which the nonlinear dynamics is linearized. To investigate the orbital stability of the guiding, a formal criterion based on the analysis of the eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix of the system dynamics is used. To circumvent the difficulty in finding an analytical expression for these eigenvalues, a Lyapunov transformation of the system variables is proposed. From this transformation, an equation of state for the system parameters is derived, and it allows one to estimate an upper bound for the computed stability domains. In particular, we found a general expression for the threshold modulation frequency below which the guiding is unstable. Using experimentally accessible parameters, the stable guiding of 87Rb atoms is investigated.
