On the infrared cutoff for dipolar droplets

Liang-Jun He, Fabian Maucher, Yong-Chang Zhang

The beyond mean-field physics due to quantum fluctuations is often described by the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) correction, which can be approximately written as a simple analytical expre…

Metastable Patterns in one- and two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates

Yong-Chang Zhang, Thomas Pohl, Fabian Maucher

In this paper we study metastable states in single- and two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that this system supports a rich spectrum of symmetries that are re…

Aberration-driven tilted emission in degenerate cavities

S. V. Gurevich, F. Maucher, J. Javaloyes

The compensation of chromatic dispersion opened new avenues and extended the level of control upon pattern formation in the \textit{temporal domain}. In this manuscript, we propose…

Exploring Bifurcations in Bose-Einstein Condensates via Phase Field Crystal Models

Alina B. Steinberg, Fabian Maucher, Svetlana V. Gurevich +1

To facilitate the analysis of pattern formation and of the related phase transitions in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) we present an explicit approximate mapping from the nonloca…

Phases of supersolids in confined dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

Yong-Chang Zhang, Thomas Pohl, Fabian Maucher

Dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates represent a powerful platform for the exploration of quantum many-body phenomena arising from long-range interactions. A series of recent experime…

Colonies of threaded rings in excitable media

Fabian Maucher, Paul Sutcliffe

A thring is a recent addition to the zoo of spiral wave phenomena found in excitable media and consists of a scroll ring that is threaded by a pair of counter-rotating scroll waves…

Threaded rings that swim in excitable media

Antonio Cincotti, Fabian Maucher, David Evans +6

Cardiac tissue and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction provide two notable examples of excitable media that support scroll waves, in which a filament core is the source of spiral wav…

Supersolidity around a critical point in dipolar Bose Einstein condensates

Yong-Chang Zhang, Fabian Maucher, Thomas Pohl

We explore spatial symmetry breaking of a dipolar Bose Einstein condensate in the thermodynamic limit and reveal a critical point in the phase diagram at which crystallization occu…

An intuitive approach to structuring the three polarization components of light

F. Maucher, S. Skupin, S. A. Gardiner +1

This paper presents intuitive interpretations of tightly focused beams of light by drawing analogies to two-dimensional electrostatics, magnetostatics and fluid dynamics. We use a…

Rings on strings in excitable media

Fabian Maucher, Paul Sutcliffe

We study the dynamics and interaction of coaxial vortex rings in the FitzHugh-Nagumo excitable medium. We find that threading vortex rings with a vortex string results in significa…

Quasiperiodic oscillations and homoclinic orbits in the nonlinear nonlocal Schrödinger equation

F. Maucher, E. Siminos, W. Krolikowski +1

Quasiperiodic oscillations and shape-transformations of higher-order bright solitons in nonlinear nonlocal media have been frequently observed in recent years, however, the origin…

Elementary excitations of ultracold soft-core bosons across the superfluid-supersolid phase transition

Tommaso Macri, Fabian Maucher, Fabio Cinti +1

We investigate the zero-temperature excitation spectrum of two-dimensional soft-core bosons for a wide range parameters and across the phase transition from a superfluid to a super…

Stability of solitary waves in random nonlocal nonlinear media

F. Maucher, W. Krolikowski, S. Skupin

We consider the interplay between nonlocal nonlinearity and randomness for two different nonlinear Schrödinger models. We show that stability of bright solitons in presence of rand…
