Nonlinear Phenomena in Bose-Einstein condensates

POSTER

Abstract

We present a medley of results from the last three years on nonlinear phenomena in BECs [1]. These include exact dynamics of multi-component condensates in optical lattices [2], vortices and ring solitons [3], macroscopic quantum tunneling [4], nonlinear band theory [5], and a pulsed atomic soliton laser [6]. 1. {\it Emergent Nonlinear Phenomena in Bose-Einstein Condensates: Theory and Experiment}, ed.
