Stability analysis of nonlinear localized modes in the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations with [Formula: see text] -symmetric Scarf-II potential.

We study the nonlinear localized modes in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with parity-time-symmetric Scarf-II potential, which can be described by the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Firstly, we investigate the linear stability of the nonlinear modes in the focusing and defocusing cases, and get the stable and unstable domains of nonlinear localized modes. Then we validate the results by evolving them with 5% perturbations as an initial condition. Finally, we get stable solitons by considering excitations of the soliton via adiabatical change of system parameters. These findings of nonlinear modes can be potentially applied to physical experiments of matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates.

Solitary Vortex Dynamics of 2D Bose-Einstein Condensates with Higher-Order Nonlinear Interactions

For study of Continuous matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates in nonlinear and quantum atom optics, the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) is chosen as the reliable model for studying the dynamics of vortices in the framework of mean-field theory. In related problems in several recent studies showing that higher-order interrelationships are an indispensable component of the GPE even at the mean-field level, by numerically estimating the vortex dynamics variables. In this paper, derive the vortex soliton solutions using the variational method and investigate the effect of higher-order nonlinear corrections on the behavior of the vortex dynamics, which are shown to have an important impact on the vortex dynamics behavior.

Rydberg-dressed solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with parity-time symmetry

Generating stable bright solitons in free space has been a long-standing goal in the study of matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). Rydberg-induced matter wave demonstrates an excellent effect in balancing the repulsive and attractive interactions between remote atoms. Parity-time (PT) symmetric lattices have been widely studied in controlling the flow of matter waves. In this study, we theoretically investigated the localization of nonlinear matter waves in the PT-symmetric Rydberg atomic BECs system. The numerical simulation method was used to obtain the stationary solutions of the wave function by solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) of the Rydberg-dressed BECs system. Fundamental, higher-order solitons and vortical ones were uncovered, and their stabilities were evaluated through linear-stability analysis and direct simulation with perturbation. Furthermore, the collision of solitons exhibited a quasi-elastic feature.

Phase engineering of chirped rogue waves in Bose–Einstein condensates with a variable scattering length in an expulsive potential

We consider a cubic Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation governing the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with time-dependent coefficients in front of the cubic term and inverted parabolic potential. Under a special condition imposed on the coefficients, a combination of phase-imprint and modified lens-type transformations converts the GP equation into the integrable Kundu-Eckhaus (KE) one with constant coefficients, which contains the quintic nonlinearity and the Raman-like term producing the self-frequency shift. The condition for the baseband modulational instability of CW states is derived, providing the possibility of generation of chirped rogue waves (RWs) in the underlying matter-wave (BEC) model. Using known RW solutions of the KE equation, we present explicit first- and second-order chirped RW states. The chirp of the first- and second-order RWs is independent of the phase imprint. Detailed solutions are presented for the following configurations: (i) the nonlinearity exponentially varying in time; (ii) time-periodic modulation of the nonlinearity; (iii) a stepwise time modulation of the strength of the expulsive potential. Singularities of the local chirp coincide with valleys of the corresponding RWs. The results demonstrate that the temporal modulation of the s-wave scattering length and strength of the inverted parabolic potential can be used to manipulate the evolution of rogue matter waves in BEC.

Interactions of Soliton in Weakly Nonlocal Nonlinear Media

Solitary waves or solitons is a nonlinear phenomenon which has been studied intensively due to its application in solid-state matter such as Bose-Einstein condensates state, plasma physics, optical fibers and nematic liquid crystal. In particular, the study of nonlinear phenomena occurs in the structure of waves gained interest of scholars since their discovery by John Russell in 1844. The Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) is the theoretical framework for the investigation of nonlinear pulse propagation in optical fibers. Nonlocality can be found in an underlying transport mechanisms or long-range forces like electrostatic interactions in liquid crystals and many-body interactions with matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensate or plasma waves. The length of optical beam width and length of response function are used to classify nonlocality in optical materials. The nonlocality can be categorized as weak nonlocal if the width of the optical beam broader than the length of response function and if the width of the optical beam is narrower than the length of response function, it is considered as highly nonlocal. This work investigates the interactions of solitons in a weakly nonlocal Cubic NLSE with Gaussian external potential. The variational approximation (VA) method was employed to solve non integrable NLSE to ordinary differential equation (ODE). The soliton parameters and the computational program are used to simulate the propagation of the soliton width and its center-of-mass position. In the presence of Gaussian external potential, the soliton may be transmitted, reflected or trapped based on the critical velocity and potential strength. Direct numerical simulation of Cubic NLSE is programmed to verify the results of approximation method. Good agreement is achieved between the direct numerical solution and VA method results.

Rogue waves of the dissipative Gross–Pitaevskii equation with distributed coefficients

By introducing a suitable ansatz and employing the similarity transformation technique, we construct the first- and second-order rational solutions for a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) dissipative Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation with a time-varying cubic nonlinearity and an external time-dependent potential. Then, by using these solutions, we engineer first- and second-order rogue waves in the Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) contexts for the experimentally relevant systems when the gain/loss of atoms is taken into consideration. Our analysis shows that the control of the scattering length, the external harmonic, and the linear trapping potentials allows one to manage the motion and the background of dissipative rogue matter waves in BEC systems. We show that the wave amplitudes depend on the absolute value of s-wave scattering and the bias magnetic field, while its motion depends on the external trapping potentials. We show that unlike classical rogue waves, the nonzero continuous wave backgrounds of non-autonomous forced (damped) rogue matter waves in BECs with time-dependent complicated potential increases (decreases) during the wave motion. Our results also reveal that neither the gain nor the loss of the BEC atoms affects the amplitude of the rogue matter waves during their propagation. Our results may help to control and manage experimentally dissipative rogue waves in a BEC systems.

Optical solitons and stability analysis with coupled nonlinear schrodinger’s equations having double external potentials

We consider coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation (CNLSE) of the Gross-Pitaevskii-type, with linear mixing and nonlinear cross-phase modulation. Motivated by the study of matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates and multicomponent (vectorial) nonlinear optical systems, we investigate the eigenvalue problem of the CNLSE with double external potentials in a self-defocusig Kerr medium. For this system, we obtain different kinds of wave structures induced by two injected beams, of physical relevance in nonlinear optics and Bose-Einstein condensation. Exact solutions are found by the extended unified method. The linear stability of these solutions is analyzed through the formulation of an eigenvalue problem. The spectral problem is constructed by perturbing the frequency of stationary solutions and by linearizing the resulting equations near the stationary (or steady) states. Our study may simulate experimental work on multiple injected laser beams in a medium with Kerr-type nonlinearity.

Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates: Exact Representation and Topological Classification of Coherent Matter Waves

By using the bifurcation theory of dynamical systems, we present the exact representation and topological classification of coherent matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), such as solitary waves and modulate amplitude waves (MAWs). The existence and multiplicity of such waves are determined by the parameter regions selected. The results show that the characteristic of coherent matter waves can be determined by the “angular momentum” in attractive BECs while for repulsive BECs; the waves of the coherent form are all MAWs. All exact explicit parametric representations of the above waves are exhibited and numerical simulations support the result.

Localized nonlinear matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates with spatially and spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities

The novel phenomena arising from Bose-Einstein condensates with spatially and spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities in external potential is reviewed from a theoretical viewpoint. We first present theoretical analysis and numerical studies of the localized nonlinear matter waves in one-dimensional single and two-component BECs with spatially and spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearities, respectively. It is shown that the spatially or spatiotemporally modulated nonlinearity can support stable novel localized nonlinear matter waves such as the breathing solitons and moving solitons. Then the quasi-two-dimensional BEC with spatially modulated nonlinearity is investigated and we show that all of the BECs, similar to the linear harmonic oscillator, can have an arbitrary number of localized nonlinear matter waves with discrete energies. Their properties are determined by the principal quantum number and secondary quantum number. Moreover, we investigate the quantized vortices in a rotating BEC with spatiotemporally modulated interaction in harmonic and anharmonic potentials, respectively. The exact quantized vortex and giant vortex solutions are constructed explicitly by similarity transformation. Their stability behavior is examined by numerical simulation, which shows that a new series of stable vortex states which are defined by radial and angular quantum numbers, can be supported by the spatiotemporally modulated interaction in this system. We find that there exist stable quantized vortices with large topological charges in repulsive condensates with spatiotemporally modulated interaction.

Impact of Quantum Fluctuations on the Modulational Instability of a Modified Gross-Pitaevskii Equation with Two-Body Interaction

Modulational instability conditions for the generation of localized structures in the context of matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates are investigated analytically and numerically. The model is based on a modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which account for the energy dependence of the two-body scattering amplitude. It is shown that the modified term due to the quantum fluctuations modify significantly the modulational instability gain. Direct numerical simulations of the full modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation are performed, and it is found that the modulated plane wave evolves into a train of pulses, which is destroyed at longer times due to the effects of quantum fluctuations.

Nonautonomous matter waves in a waveguide

We present a physical model that describes the transport of Bose-Einstein-condensed atoms from a reservoir to a waveguide. By using the similarity and M\"obius transformations, we study nonautonomous matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of an inhomogeneous source. Then, we find its various types of exact nonautonomous matter-wave solutions, including the W-shaped bright solitary waves, W-shaped and U-shaped dark solitary waves, periodic wave solutions, and rational solitary waves. The results show that these different types of matter-wave structures can be generated and effectively controlled by modulating the amplitude of the source. Our results may raise the possibility of some experiments and potential applications related to Bose-Einstein condensates in the presence of an inhomogeneous source.

Soliton Eigenvalue Control in Optical Lattices

We address the dynamics of higher-order solitons in optical lattices, and predict their self-splitting into the set of their single-soliton constituents. The splitting is induced by the potential introduced by the lattice, together with the imprinting of a phase tilt onto the initial multisoliton states. The phenomenon allows the controllable generation of several coherent solitons linked via their Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalues. Application of the scheme to the generation of correlated matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates is discussed.

Modulational instability of Gross-Pitaevskii-type equations in1+1dimensions

The modulational stability of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger (NLS) equation is examined in the case with a quadratic external potential. This study is motivated by recent experimental studies in the context of matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The theoretical analysis invokes a lens-type transformation that converts the Gross-Pitaevskii into a regular NLS equation with an additional growth term. This analysis suggests the particular interest of a specific time-varying potential ((t+t*)^{-2}). We examine both this potential, as well as the time independent one numerically and conclude by suggesting experiments for the production of solitonic wave-trains in BEC.
