Controllable Soliton Emission from a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Controllable Soliton Emission from a Bose-Einstein Condensate
We demonstrate, through numerical simulations, the controllable emission of matter-wave bursts from a Bose-Einstein condensate in a shallow optical dipole trap. The process is triggered by spatial variations of the scattering length along the trapping axis. In our approach, the outcoupling mechanisms are atom-atom interactions and thus, the trap remains …
