Spatially modulated two- and three-component Rabi-coupled Gross-Pitaevskii systems

Abstract

Vector rogue wave (RW) formation and their dynamics in Rabi coupled two- and three-species Bose-Einstein condensates with spatially varying dispersion and nonlinearity are studied. For this purpose, we obtain the RW solution of the two- and three-component inhomogeneous Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) systems with Rabi coupling by introducing suitable rotational and similarity transformations. Then, we investigate the effect of inhomogeneity (spatially varying dispersion, trapping potential and nonlinearity) on vector RWs for two different forms of potential strengths, namely periodic (optical lattice) with specific reference to hyperbolic type potentials and parabolic cylinder potentials. First, we show an interesting oscillating boomeronic behaviour of dark-bright solitons due to Rabi coupling in two component-condensate with constant nonlinearities. Then in the presence of inhomogeneity but in the absence of Rabi coupling we demonstrate creation of new daughter RWs co-existing with dark (bright) soliton part in first (second) component of the two-component GP system. Further, the hyperbolic modulation (sech type) of parameter along with Rabi effect leads to the formation of dromion (two-dimensional localized structure) trains even in the (1+1) dimensional two-component GP system, which is a striking feature of Rabi coupling with spatial modulation. Next, our study on three-component condensate, reveals the fact that the three RWs can be converted into broad based zero background RW appearing on top of a bright soliton by introducing spatial modulation only. Further, by including Rabi coupling we observe beating behaviour of solitons with internal oscillations mostly at the wings. Also, we show that by employing parabolic cylinder modulation with model parameter $n$, one can produce $(n+1)$ RWs.

Routes to chaos in a mass-conserving two-species reaction-diffusion model

Mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems with two species correspond to a seemingly simple case where pattern formation occurs under the influence of a conservation law. Here, we first revisit their linear stability behavior and point out that generically two instabilities can occur: a stationary large-scale mass-conserving (Cahn-Hilliard) instability and an instability that combines features of a stationary large-scale non-mass-conserving (Allen-Cahn) instability and a oscillatory large-scale mass-conserving (conserved-Hopf) instability. We term it an Allen-Cahn-Hopf instability. Second, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics for a specific model related to the formation of cell polarization where only a Cahn-Hilliard instability can occur, i.e., all primary bifurcations are stationary. We analyze how secondary and further bifurcations subsequently give rise to various oscillatory states. The emerging rich spectrum of spatiotemporal behavior includes several period-doubling cascades related to different forms of spatial and temporal symmetry breaking. Beside regular states, three types of low-dimensional spatiotemporal chaos occur and involve transitions like fusion and an outer crises. Our results demonstrate the importance of nonlinear interactions in the dynamics of mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems, and show that even a simple two-species system with primary bifurcations of Cahn-Hilliard type can show complex spatiotemporal behavior.

Duck hunting with quantum mechanics

We bridge two sides of singular perturbation theory: the classical theory of slow-fast systems and the semi-classical approach to quantum mechanical systems. For a specific but physically important class of dynamical systems, we show that purely classical and exotic objects, so-called canard solutions, are shadows of instantons in the corresponding quantum system. We demonstrate that canard solutions exist in a domain of parameter space whose boundaries are determined by an instanton action. We illustrate our statements analytically for the relevant example, the overdamped Josephson junction, and confirm them numerically. For the Josephson junction, the canard window is the exponentially narrow gap between consecutive Shapiro steps.
