Controllable Behavior of Self-Similar Matter Waves in Exotic Transient Trap Variations

In this paper, we study the controllable behaviour of nonautonomous matter waves in different “smart” transient trap variations in the context of the cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates. By utilizing a self-similarity transformation we reduce the nonautonomous Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation to the elliptic equation that admits soliton solutions. This procedure leads to a consistency equation which is in the form of Riccati equation. The connection between the Riccati and the linear Schrödinger equation, through the Cole-Hopf transformation, is exploited profitably here to introduce temporal trap variations. For our study, we explore the possibility of using one dimensional exactly solvable (ES) potentials and their newly constructed rational extensions, as functions of time to introduce interesting temporal trap modulations. The fact that the regular potentials and their rational extensions being structurally different, leads to different temporal modulations. It is exhibited that the soliton behaviour with respect to compression in both these cases is quite different.
