چکیده
We analyze spatiotemporal structures in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study the dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with mean-field interactions. A coherent structure ansatz yields a parametrically forced nonlinear oscillator, to which we apply Lindstedt's method and multiple-scale perturbation theory to determine the dependence of the intensity of periodic orbits ("modulated amplitude waves") on their wave number. We explore BEC band structure in detail using Hamiltonian perturbation theory and supporting numerical simulations.

A perturbative analysis of modulated amplitude waves in Bose-Einstein condensates.
We apply Lindstedt's method and multiple scale perturbation theory to analyze spatio-temporal structures in nonlinear Schrödinger equations and thereby study the dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with mean-field interactions. We determine the dependence of the amplitude of modulated amplitude waves on their wave number. We also explore the band structure of Bose-Einste...
متن کاملModulated Amplitude Waves in Collisionally Inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein Condensates
We investigate the dynamics of an effectively one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with scattering length a subjected to a spatially periodic modulation, a = a(x) = a(x + L). This “collisionally inhomogeneous” BEC is described by a Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation whose nonlinearity coefficient is a periodic function of x. We transform this equation into a GP equation with constant coef...
متن کاملBose-Einstein Condensates in Superlattices
We consider the Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation in the presence of periodic and quasi-periodic superlattices to study cigar-shaped Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in such potentials. We examine spatially extended wavefunctions in the form of modulated amplitude waves (MAWs). With a coherent structure ansatz, we derive amplitude equations describing the evolution of spatially modulated states of...
متن کاملRemoval of excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates by space- and time-modulated potentials
We propose that periodically in spaceand time-modulated potentials (dynamic lattices) can efficiently remove the excited (the high-energy and large momentum) components of the trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and, consequently, can result in efficient cleaning of the BECs. We prove the idea by numerically solving the mean-field models (the Schrödinger equation for noninteracting condens...
متن کاملNormal-superfluid interaction dynamics in a spinor bose gas.
Coherent behavior of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates is studied in the presence of a significant uncondensed (normal) component. Normal-superfluid exchange scattering leads to near-perfect local alignment between the spin fields of the two components. We observe that, through this spin locking, spin-domain formation in the condensate is vastly accelerated as the spin populations in the condens...
