Phys. 36 (2003) 2501-2514 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter; Pattern Formation and Solitons; Numerical Analysis | cond-mat.soft math.NA nlin.PS | | Abstract: | We suggest a pseudospectral method for solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation and use it to study the resonance dynamics of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate induced by a periodic variation in the atomic scattering length. When the frequency of oscillation of the scattering length is an even multiple of one of the trapping frequencies along the $x$, $y$, or $z$ direction, the corresponding size of the condensate executes resonant oscillation. Using the concept of the differentiation matrix, the partial-differential GP equation is reduced to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations which is solved by a fourth-order adaptive step-size control Runge-Kutta method. The pseudospectral method is contrasted with the finite-difference method for the same problem, where the time evolution is performed by the Crank-Nicholson algorithm. The latter method is illustrated to be more suitable for a three-dimensional standing-wave optical-lattice trapping potential. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0210177 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
