Dynamics of matter-wave solitons in a ratchet potential.

چکیده
We study the dynamics of bright solitons formed in a Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive atomic interactions perturbed by a weak bichromatic optical lattice potential. The lattice depth is a biperiodic function of time with a zero mean, which realizes a flashing ratchet for matter-wave solitons. We find that the average velocity of a soliton and the soliton current induced by the ratchet depend on the number of atoms in the soliton. As a consequence, soliton transport can be induced through scattering of different solitons. In the regime when matter-wave solitons are narrow compared to the lattice period the dynamics is well described by the effective Hamiltonian theory.

Ratchet-induced matter–wave transport and soliton collisions in Bose–Einstein condensates
We study the dynamics of bright matter–wave solitons in a Bose–Einstein condensate with negative scattering length under the influence of a time-periodic ratchet potential. The potential is formed by a one-dimensional bichromatic optical lattice which flashes on and off so that the time average of its amplitude vanishes. Due to the broken space and time-reversal symmetries of the potential, the...
متن کاملControlled transport of matter waves in driven optical lattices
The idea of controlled manipulation of stable, spatially localized matter-wavepackets is attractive from the point of view of the developing atomic interferometry and precise measurement techniques based on the use of the Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). In the recent years optical lattices were suggested as a means of achieving controlled transport of matter waves. In particular, theoretical ...
