Formation of matter-wave soliton trains by modulational instability

JHV Nguyen, D Luo, RG Hulet - Science, 2017 - science.org
Nonlinear systems can exhibit a rich set of dynamics that are inherently sensitive to their
initial conditions. One such example is modulational instability, which is believed to be one …

Controllable soliton emission from a Bose-Einstein condensate

MI Rodas-Verde, H Michinel, VM Pérez-García - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We demonstrate, through numerical simulations, the controllable emission of matter-wave
bursts from a Bose-Einstein condensate in a shallow optical dipole trap. The process is …

Matter-wave soliton interferometer based on a nonlinear splitter

H Sakaguchi, BA Malomed - New Journal of Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We elaborate a model of the interferometer which, unlike previously studied ones, uses a
local (δ-functional) nonlinear repulsive potential, embedded into a harmonic-oscillator …

Enhanced quantum reflection of matter-wave solitons

C Lee, J Brand - Europhysics Letters, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
Matter-wave bright solitons are predicted to reflect from a purely attractive potential well
although they are macroscopic objects with classical particle-like properties. The non …

Symbiotic solitons in heteronuclear multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensates

VM Perez-Garcia, JB Beitia - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2005 - APS
We show that bright solitons exist in quasi-one-dimensional heteronuclear multicomponent
Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive self-interaction and attractive interspecies …
