We obtain analytic solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with negative scattering length in highly asymmetric traps. find that these traps Bose--Einstein condensates behave like quasiparticles and do not expand when trapping one direction is eliminated. The results can be applicable control of motion condensates.
We solve the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation by a variational ansatz to calculate excitation spectrum of Bose-Einstein condensate in trap. The trial wave function is Gaussian which allows an essentially analytical treatment problem. Our results reproduce numerical calculations over whole range from small large particle numbers, and agree exactly with Stringari strong interaction limit. Excellent agreement obtained recent JILA experiment predictions for negative scattering length...

An optical vortex is a screw dislocation in light field that carries quantized orbital angular momentum and, due to cancellations of the twisting along propagation axis, experiences zero intensity at its center. When viewed perpendicular plane appears as dark region center surrounded by bright concentric ring light. We give detailed instructions for generating vortices and structures computer-generated holograms describe various methods manipulating resulting structures.
We demonstrate, through numerical simulations, the controllable emission of matter-wave bursts from a Bose-Einstein condensate in shallow optical dipole trap. The process is triggered by spatial variations scattering length along trapping axis. In our approach, outcoupling mechanisms are atom-atom interactions and thus, trap remains unaltered. Once emitted, matter wave forms robust soliton. calculate analytically parameters for experimental implementation these solitons.

We discuss the dynamics of interacting dark-bright two-dimensional vector solitons in multicomponent immiscible bulk Bose-Einstein condensates. describe matter-wave molecules without a scalar counterpart that can be seen as bound states objects. also analyze possibility using these structures building blocks for design switchers.
We have investigated the dynamics of optical beams in a cubic (focusing)–quintic (defocusing) nonlinear medium. In particular, we found that strong can show long-lived elliptical oscillations, whereas other cases, i.e., for weak or cylindrical decay quickly. This finding explains observed higher efficiency fusion two beams. also investigated, numerically and analytically, robustness to an initial phase chirp.
We study the cubic- (focusing-)quintic (defocusing) nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two transverse dimensions. discuss a family of stationary traveling waves, including rarefaction pulses and vortex-antivortex pairs, background critical amplitude. show that these can be generated inside flattop soliton when smaller bright collides with it. The fate evolution strongly depends on relative phase solitons. Among several possibilities, we find dark pulse reemerge as soliton.
