Quasi-one-dimensional approximation for Bose-Einstein condensates transversely trapped by a funnel potential
arXiv:1910.07001 · doi:10.1088/1361-6455/ab4fb7
Abstract
Starting from the standard three-dimensional (3D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and using a variational approximation, we derive an effective one-dimensional nonpolynomial Schrödinger equation (1D-NPSE) governing the axial dynamics of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) under the action of a singular but physically relevant funnel-shaped transverse trap, i.e., an attractive 2D potential (where is the radial coordinate in the transverse plane), in combination with the repulsive self-interaction. Wave functions of the trapped BEC are regular, in spite of the potential's singularity. The model applies to a condensate of particles (small molecules) carrying a permanent electric dipole moment in the field of a uniformly charged axial thread, as well as to a quantum gas of magnetic atoms pulled by an axial electric current. By means of numerical simulations, we verify that the effective 1D-NPSE provides accurate static and dynamical results, in comparison to the full 3D GPE, for both repulsive and attractive signs of the intrinsic nonlinearity.
