Abstract:The existence and dynamics of solitons in quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and attractive two-body interactions are described for two coupled atomic pseudo-spin components with slowly and rapidly varying time-dependent Raman frequency. By varying the Raman frequency linearly in time, it was shown that ordinary nonlinear Schrödingertype bright solitons can be converted to striped bright solitons and vice versa. The internal Josephson oscillations between atom-… Show more
“…This will give us an opportunity to examine the role of spin-orbit coupling in localizing or de-localizing the atomic density distribution in BECs. The spectral properties noted here have also been found to play a role in studying localization properties of the ground state of SOC BEC [20,21] in optical lattices as well as in controlling Josephson-type oscillation between solitonic components [22] in the BEC.…”
{We consider a spin-orbit coupled (SOC) one dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with attractive atom-atom interaction and make use of Shannon entropy $(S)$, and Fisher information $(I)$ to study the response of atomic density profiles to changes in $\kappa_L$, the strength of the spin-orbit coupling for fixed values of Rabi frequency $(\Omega)$.} Density profiles of our interest are characterized by (i) $\kappa_L^2<\Omega$ (region 1) and (ii) $\kappa_L^2>\Omega$ (region 2). We also pay attention to a spatially modulated density profile representing stripe phase of the condensate. Our numbers for $S$ and $I$ show that in region 1 the profile becomes localized as $\kappa_L$ increases while in region 2 we observe delocalization. Values of $I$ in the stripe phase provide an evidence for the supersolid properties of the SOC BEC and indicate that supersolidity is a purely quantum phenomenon.

“…Recently, the study of SOC-BEC has gained significant attention [13][14][15][16]. In terms of coupling, different forms of Rashba (inverse spin Hall effect in SOC systems) and Dresselhaus SOC [17], and a mixture of the former two, are realized [18]. SOC-BEC is interesting because it has a similar Dirac band structure [19].…”
Vector gap solitons in quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate loaded in a square optical lattice with spin-orbit and Rabi coupling are investigated theoretically. The solitons are obtained by the Newton-Conjugate Gradient method for various physical parameters. The stability properties of gap solitons are theoretically analyzed by direct nonlinear dynamical evolution. It is found that the existence of gap solitons is sensitive to the spin-orbit and Rabi coupling strength. Smaller Rabi coupling strength is beneficial for the excitation of solitons in the semi-infinite gap. Conversely, larger Rabi coupling strength is beneficial for the soliton excitation in the first gap. The dynamical stability of these gap solitons depends on the spin-orbit and Rabi coupling strength, and the location of the soliton in the bandgap. These findings may contribute to understanding the topological excitations in condensed matter systems.
