Symmetry breaking in a localized interacting binary BEC in a bi-chromatic optical lattice
arXiv:1001.4667 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.81.023620
Abstract
By direct numerical simulation of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation using the split-step Fourier spectral method we study different aspects of the localization of a cigar-shaped interacting binary (two-component) Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a one-dimensional bi-chromatic quasi-periodic optical-lattice potential, as used in a recent experiment on the localization of a BEC [Roati et al., Nature 453, 895 (2008)]. We consider two types of localized states: (i) when both localized components have a maximum of density at the origin x=0, and (ii) when the first component has a maximum of density and the second a minimum of density at x=0. In the non-interacting case the density profiles are symmetric around x=0. We numerically study the breakdown of this symmetry due to inter-species and intra-species interaction acting on the two components. Where possible, we have compared the numerical results with a time-dependent variational analysis. We also demonstrate the stability of the localized symmetry-broken BEC states under small perturbation.
