Mean-field analysis of collapsing and exploding Bose-Einstein condensates

The dynamics of collapsing and exploding Bose-Einstein condensates caused by a sudden switch of interactions from repulsive to attractive are studied by numerically integrating the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with atomic loss for an axially symmetric trap. We investigate the decay rate of condensates and the phenomena of bursts and jets of …
