The paper is devoted to the equation + () + () 3 = 0. The equations of such kind have been used to describe stationary modes in the models of Bose-Einstein condensate. It is known that under some conditions for () and (), the "most part" of solutions for such equations are singular, i.e. tend to infinity at some point of the real axis. In some situations this fact allows us to apply the methods of symbolic dynamics to describe non-singular solutions of this equation and to construct comprehensive classification of these solutions. In the paper we present (i) necessary conditions for existence of singular solutions as well as conditions for their absence; (ii) the results of numerical study of the case when () is a constant and () is an alternate periodic function. Basing on these results, we formulate a conjecture that all the non-singular solutions of the equation can be coded by bi-infinite sequences of symbols of a countable alphabet.
We consider finite temperature effects in a non-standard Bose-Hubbard model for an exciton- polariton Josephson junction (JJ) that is characterised by complicated potential energy landscapes (PEL) consisting of sets of barriers and wells. We show that the transition between thermal activation (classical) and tunneling (quantum) regimes exhibits universal features of the first and second order phase transition (PT) depending on the PEL for two polariton condensates that might be described as transition from the thermal to the quantum annealing regime. In the presence of dissipation the relative phase of two condensates exhibits non-equilibrium PT from the quantum regime characterized by efficient tunneling of polaritons to the regime of permanent Josephson or Rabi oscillations, where the tunneling is suppressed, respectively. This analysis paves the way for the application of coupled polariton condensates for the realisation of a quantum annealing algorithm in presently experimentally accessible semiconductor microcavities possessing high (105 and more) Q-factors.
We study localized modes (LMs) of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii/nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a harmonic-oscillator (parabolic) confining potential, and a periodically modulated coefficient in front of the cubic term (nonlinear lattice pseudopotential). The equation applies to a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate loaded in the combination of a magnetic trap and an optical lattice which induces the periodic pseudopotential via the Feshbach resonance. Families of stable LMs in the model feature specific properties which result from the interplay between spatial scales introduced by the parabolic trap and the period of the nonlinear pseudopotential. Asymptotic results on the shapes and stability of LMs are obtained for small-amplitude solutions and in the limit of a rapidly oscillating nonlinear pseudopotential. We show that the presence of the lattice pseudopotential may result in: (i) creation of new LM families which have no counterparts in the case of the uniform nonlinearity; (ii) stabilization of some previously unstable LM species; (iii) evolution of unstable LMs into a pulsating mode trapped in one well of the lattice pseudopotential.
