We introduce 1D and 2D models of a degenerate bosonic gas composed of ions with positive and negative charges (cations and anions). The system may exist in the mean-field condensate state, enabling the competition of the Coulomb coupling, contact repulsion, and kinetic energy of the particles, provided that their effective mass is reduced by means of a lattice potential. The model combines the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equations for the two-component wave function of the cations and anions, coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential mediating the Coulomb coupling. The contact interaction in the GP system can be derived, in the Thomas-Fermi approximation, from a system of three GP equations, which includes the wave function of heavy neutral atoms. In the system with fully repulsive contact interactions, we construct stable spatially periodic patterns (density waves, DWs). The transition to DWs is identified by analysis of the modulational instability of a uniformly mixed neutral state. The DW pattern, which represents the systems ground state (GS), is predicted by a variational approximation. In 2D, a stable pattern is produced too, with a quasi-1D shape. The 1D system with contact self-attraction in each component produces bright solitons of three types: neutral ones, with fully mixed components; dipoles, with the components separated by the inter-species contact repulsion; and quadrupoles, with a layer of one component sandwiched between side lobes formed by the other. The transition from the neutral solitons to dipoles is accurately modeled analytically. A chart of the GSs of the different types (neutral solitons, dipoles, or quadrupoles) is produced. Different soliton species do not coexist as stable states. Collisions between traveling solitons are elastic for dipole-dipole pairs, while dipole-antidipole ones merge into stable quadrupoles via multiple collisions.

We show that the Josephson plasma frequency for a condensate in a double-well potential, whose dynamics is described by the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation, can be obtained with great precision by means of the usual Bogoliubov approach, whereas the tw o-mode model - commonly constructed by means of a linear combinations of the low-lying states of the GP equation - generally provides accurate results only for weak interactions. A proper two-mode model in terms of the Bogoliubov functions is also discussed, revealing that in general a two-mode approach is formally justified only for not too large interactions, even in the limit of very small amplitude oscillations. Here we consider specifically the case of a one-dimensional system, but the results are expected to be valid in arbitrary dimensions.
We review the stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii approach for non-equilibrium finite temperature Bose gases, focussing on the formulation of Stoof; this method provides a unified description of condensed and thermal atoms, and can thus describe the physics of the critical fluctuation regime. We discuss simplifications of the full theory, which facilitate straightforward numerical implementation, and how the results of such stochastic simulations can be interpreted, including the procedure for extracting phase-coherent (`condensate) and density-coherent (`quasi-condensate) fractions. The power of this methodology is demonstrated by successful ab initio modelling of several recent atom chip experiments, with the important information contained in each individual realisation highlighted by analysing dark soliton decay within a phase-fluctuating condensate.
We examine on the static and dynamical properties of quantum knots in a Bose-Einstein condensate. In particular, we consider the Gross-Pitaevskii model and revise a technique to construct ab initio the condensate wave-function of a generic torus knot . After analysing its excitation energy, we study its dynamics relating the topological parameter to its translational velocity and characteristic size. We also investigate the breaking mechanisms of non shape-preserving torus knots confirming an evidence of universal decaying behaviour previously observed.
We consider an effective scaling approach for the free expansion of a one-dimensional quantum wave packet, consisting in a self-similar evolution to be satisfied on average, i.e. by integrating over the coordinates. A direct comparison with the solut ion of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation shows that the effective scaling reproduces with great accuracy the exact evolution - the actual wave function is reproduced with a fidelity close to unity - for arbitrary values of the interactions. This result represents a proof-of-concept of the effectiveness of the scaling ansatz, which has been used in different forms in the literature but never compared with the exact evolution.
Many of the static and dynamic properties of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) are usually studied by solving the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation, which is a nonlinear partial differential equation for short-range atomic interaction. More recently, BEC of atoms with long-range dipolar atomic interaction are used in theoretical and experimental studies. For dipolar atomic interaction, the GP equation is a partial integro-differential equation, requiring complex algorithm for its numerical solution. Here we present numerical algorithms for both stationary and non-stationary solutions of the full three-dimensional (3D) GP equation for a dipolar BEC, including the contact interaction. We also consider the simplified one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) GP equations satisfied by cigar- and disk-shaped dipolar BECs. We employ the split-step Crank-Nicolson method with real- and imaginary-time propagations, respectively, for the numerical solution of the GP equation for dynamic and static properties of a dipolar BEC. The atoms are considered to be polarized along the z axis and we consider ten different cases, e.g., stationary and non-stationary solutions of the GP equation for a dipolar BEC in 1D (along x and z axes), 2D (in x-y and x-z planes), and 3D, and we provide working codes in Fortran 90/95 and C for these ten cases (twenty programs in all). We present numerical results for energy, chemical potential, root-mean-square sizes and density of the dipolar BECs and, where available, compare them with results of other authors and of variational and Thomas-Fermi approximations.
