Topic:        Numerical Simulation for Rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate

Abstract:


 
  In this talk, we present efficient and stable numerical methods to compute ground states and dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) in a rotational frame. As preparatory steps, we take the 3D Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) with an angular momentum rotation, scale it to obtain a four-parameter model and show how to reduce it to 2D GPE in certain limiting regimes. Then we study numerically and asymptotically the ground states, excited states and quantized vortex states as well as their energy and chemical potential diagram in rotating BEC. Some very interesting numerical results are observed. Finally, we study numerically stability and interaction of quantized vortices in rotating BEC. Some interesting interaction patterns will be reported.  

This talk is based on joint work with Qiang Du, Peter Markowich, Hanquan Wang and Yanzhi Zhang.
