Coupled matter-wave solitons in optical lattices (Q1024396)

The paper deals with the dynamics of two coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) bright solitons trapped in optical lattices. Firstly one bears in mind the equations of these two coupled BECs in optical lattices, and then one derives a variational formulation for the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations (GPE). It is assumed that each BEC satisfies its own GPE coupled to the other by mean-field interaction. The remaining of the paper provides numerical results in the form of plots for such parameters like effective potential, effective lattice potential, total effective potential, coupled BEC soliton density profiles.
