i-SPin 2: An integrator for general spin-s Gross-Pitaevskii systems
arXiv:2305.01675 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.108.055305
Abstract
We provide an algorithm for evolving general spin- Gross-Pitaevskii / non-linear Schrödinger systems carrying a variety of interactions, where the components of the `spinor' field represent the different spin-multiplicity states. We consider many nonrelativistic interactions up to quartic order in the Schrödinger field (both short and long-range, and spin-dependent and spin-independent interactions), including explicit spin-orbit couplings. The algorithm allows for spatially varying external and/or self-generated vector potentials that couple to the spin density of the field. Our work can be used for scenarios ranging from laboratory systems such as spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), to cosmological/astrophysical systems such as self-interacting bosonic dark matter. As examples, we provide results for two different setups of spin- BECs that employ a varying magnetic field and spin-orbit coupling, respectively, and also collisions of spin- solitons in dark matter. Our symplectic algorithm is second-order accurate in time, and is extensible to the known higher-order accurate methods.
