Creating two-dimensional bright solitons in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

Patrick Köberle, Damir Zajec, Günter Wunner +1

We propose a realistic experimental setup for creating quasi-two-dimensional (2D) bright solitons in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the existence of which was proposed i…

Variational methods with coupled Gaussian functions for Bose-Einstein condensates with long-range interactions. II. Applications

Stefan Rau, Jörg Main, Holger Cartarius +2

Bose-Einstein condensates with an attractive 1/r interaction and with dipole-dipole interaction are investigated in the framework of the Gaussian variational ansatz introduced by S…

Pitchfork bifurcations in blood-cell shaped dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

Stefan Rau, Jörg Main, Patrick Köberle +1

We demonstrate that the method of coupled Gaussian wave packets is a full-fledged alternative to direct numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation of condensates with ele…

Phonon instability and self-organized structures in multi-layer stacks of confined dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices

Patrick Köberle, Günter Wunner

In calculations to date [1,2] of multi-layer stacks of dipolar condensates, created in one-dimensional optical lattices, the condensates have been assumed to be two-dimensional. In…

Nonlinear Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Long-Range Interactions

G. Wunner, H. Cartarius, T. Fabčič +3

The motto of this paper is: Let's face Bose-Einstein condensation through nonlinear dynamics. We do this by choosing variational forms of the condensate wave functions (of given sy…
