Exact results on the dynamics of multi-component Bose-Einstein condensate
Abstract
Description
We study the time-evolution of the two dimensional multi-component Bose-Einstein condensate in an external harmonic trap with arbitrary time-dependent frequency. We show analytically that the time-evolution of the total mean-square radius of the wave-packet is determined in terms of the same solvable equation as in the case of a single-component condensate. The dynamics of the total mean-square radius is also the same for the rotating as well as the non-rotating multi-component condensate. We determine the criteria for the collapse of the condensate at a finite time. Generalizing our previous work on a single-component condensate, we show explosion-implosion duality in the multi-component condensate.
