We propose a method to split the ground state of an attractively interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate into two bright solitary waves with controlled relative phase and velocity. We analyze the stability of these waves against their subsequent re-collisions at the center of a cylindrically symmetric, prolate harmonic trap as a function of relative phase, velocity, and trap anisotropy. We show that the collisional stability is strongly dependent on relative phase at low velocity, and we identify previously unobserved oscillations in the collisional stability as a function of the trap anisotropy. An experimental implementation of our method would determine the validity of the mean field description of bright solitary waves, and could prove an important step towards atom interferometry experiments involving bright solitary waves.

A study of bright matter-wave solitons of a cesium Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is presented. Production of a single soliton is demonstrated and dependence of soliton atom number on the interatomic interaction is investigated. Formation of soliton
trains in the quasi one-dimensional confinement is shown. Additionally, fragmentation of a BEC has been observed outside confinement, in free space. In the end a double BEC production setup for studying soliton collisions is described.
We consider the ground state of an attractively-interacting atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a prolate, cylindrically symmetric harmonic trap. If a true quasi-one-dimensional limit is realized, then for sufficiently weak axial trapping this ground
state takes the form of a bright soliton solution of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Using analytic variational and highly accurate numerical solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation we systematically and quantitatively assess how soliton-like this ground state is, over a wide range of trap and interaction strengths. Our analysis reveals that the regime in which the ground state is highly soliton-like is significantly restricted, and occurs only for experimentally challenging trap anisotropies. This result, and our broader identification of regimes in which the ground state is well-approximated by our simple analytic variational solution, are relevant to a range of potential experiments involving attractively-interacting Bose-Einstein condensates.
Motivated by recent experiments, we model the dynamics of bright solitons formed by cold gases in quasi-1D traps. A dynamical variational ansatz captures the far-from equilibrium excitations of these solitons. Due to a separation of scales, the radia
l and axial modes decouple, allowing for closed-form approximations for the dynamics. We explore how soliton dynamics influence atom loss, and find that the time-averaged loss is largely insensitive to the degree of excitation. The variational approach enables us to perform high precision calculations of the critical atom number (ie. the maximum number of atoms that can exist in a single soliton before the attractive forces overwhelm quantum pressure, leading to collapse).
A vortex-bright soliton can precess around a fix point. Here, we find numerically that the fixed point and the associated precessional orbits can be shifted by applying a constant driving force on the bright component, the displacement is proportiona
l to the force with a minus sign. This robust dynamics is then discussed theoretically by treating the vortex-bright soliton as an effective point particle, explaining the observed dynamics and predicting new ones that are subsequently confirmed. By appropriately tuning the force, the vortex-bright soliton can be guided following an arbitrary trajectory, including that it can be pinned and released at will. This finding opens a highly flexible and controllable approach of engineering the dynamics of vortical structures in Bose-Einstein condensates.
We use an effective one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation to study bright matter-wave solitons held in a tightly confining toroidal trapping potential, in a rotating frame of reference, as they are split and recombined on narrow barrier potential
s. In particular, we present an analytical and numerical analysis of the phase evolution of the solitons and delimit a velocity regime in which soliton Sagnac interferometry is possible, taking account of the effect of quantum uncertainty.
