We study the interaction-induced localization -- the so-called self-trapping -- of a neutral impurity atom immersed in a homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Based on a Hartree description of the BEC we show that -- unlike repulsive impurities -- attractive impurities have a singular ground state in 3d and shrink to a point-like state in 2d as the coupling approaches a critical value. Moreover, we find that the density of the BEC increases markedly in the vicinity of attractive impurities in 1d and 2d, which strongly enhances inelastic collisions between atoms in the BEC. These collisions result in a loss of BEC atoms and possibly of the localized impurity itself.

We investigate the formation of a Bose polaron when a single impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate is quenched from a non-interacting to an attractively interacting state in the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance. We use a beyond-Frohlich Hamiltonian
to describe both sides of the resonance and a coherent-state variational ansatz to compute the time evolution of boson density profiles in position space. We find that on the repulsive side of the Feshbach resonance, the Bose polaron performs long-lived oscillations, which is surprising given that the two-body problem has only one bound state coupled to a continuum. They arise due to interference between multiply occupied bound states and therefore can be only found with many-body approaches such as the coherent-state ansatz. This is a distinguishing feature of the Bose polaron compared to the Fermi polaron where the bound state can be occupied only once. We derive an implicit equation for the frequency of these oscillations and show that it can be approximated by the energy of the two-body bound state. Finally, we consider an impurity introduced at non-zero velocity and find that, on the repulsive side, it is periodically slowed down or even arrested before speeding up again.
We observe a sudden breakdown of the transport of a strongly repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate through a shallow optical lattice of finite width. We are able to attribute this behavior to the development of a self-trapped state by using accurate num
erical methods and an analytical description in terms of nonlinear Bloch waves. The dependence of the breakdown on the lattice depth and the interaction strength is investigated. We show that it is possible to prohibit the self-trapping by applying a constant offset potential to the lattice region. Furthermore, we observe the disappearance of the self-trapped state after a finite time as a result of the revived expansion of the condensate through the lattice. This revived expansion is due to the finite width of the lattice.
A general stability criterion is derived for the D-dimensional ground states of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which describes attractive Bose-Einstein condensates confined in a magnetic trap. These ground states are shown to avoid the collapse in fi
nite time and are proven to be stable in two and three spatial dimensions.
We examine the phase diagram of a Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms, interacting with an attractive pseudopotential, in a quadratic-plus-quartic potential trap rotating at a given rate. Investigating the behavior of the gas as a function of interacti
on strength and rotational frequency of the trap, we find that the phase diagram has three distinct phases, one with vortex excitation, one with center of mass excitation, and an unstable phase in which the gas collapses.
We present a new theoretical treatment of macroscopic quantum self-trapping (MQST) and quantum coherent atomic tunneling in a zero-temperature two-species Bose-Einstein condensate system in the presence of the nonlinear self-interaction of each speci
es, the interspecies nonlinear interaction, and the Josephson-like tunneling interaction. It is shown that the nonlinear interactions can dramatically affect the MQST and the atomic tunneling, and lead to the collapses and revivals (CR) of population imbalance between the two condensates. The competing effects between the self-interaction of each species and the interspecies interaction can lead to the quenching of the MQST and the suppression of the CR and the Shapiro-like steps of the atomic tunneling current. It is revealed that the interatomic nonlinear interactions can induce the coherent atomic tunneling between two condensates even though there does not exist the interspecies Josephson-like tunneling coupling.
