arXiv:cond-mat/0107298 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.65.016703

Abstract

Quantized vortex states of weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms with attractive interatomic interaction in an axially symmetric harmonic oscillator trap are investigated using the numerical solution of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation obtained by the semi-implicit Crank-Nicholson method. Collapse of the condensate is studied in the presence of deformed traps with a larger frequency along the radial as well as along the axial directions. The critical number of atoms for collapse is calculated as a function of vortex quantum . The critical number increases with angular momentum of the vortex state but tends to saturate for large .
