Physical Review Letters 101 (15) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.150403 | Abstract: | We study the dynamics of bright solitons formed in a Bose-Einstein condensate with attractive atomic interactions perturbed by a weak bichromatic optical lattice potential. The lattice depth is a biperiodic function of time with a zero mean, which realizes a flashing ratchet for matter-wave solitons. We find that the average velocity of a soliton and the soliton current induced by the ratchet depend on the number of atoms in the soliton. As a consequence, soliton transport can be induced through scattering of different solitons. In the regime when matter-wave solitons are narrow compared to the lattice period the dynamics is well described by the effective Hamiltonian theory. © 2008 The American Physical Society. | Source Title: | Physical Review Letters | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/96279 | ISSN: | 00319007 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.150403 |
