Feshbach resonance induced shock waves in Bose-Einstein condensates

arXiv:cond-mat/0311076 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.220403

Abstract

We propose a method for generating shock waves in Bose-Einstein condensates by rapidly increasing the value of the nonlinear coefficient using Feshbach resonances. We show that in a cigar-shaped condensate there exist primary (transverse) and secondary (longitudinal) shock waves. We analyze how the shocks are generated in multidimensional scenarios and describe the phenomenology associated with the phenomenon.
