Springer Emergent Nonlinear Phenomena in Bose-Einstein Condensates

Explore the unexpected developments in the field of Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases. Since the first realization of these condensates in 1995, the scientific community has discovered that they serve as a pristine platform for various scientific studies beyond original expectations of equilibrium properties and dynamics. This book provides a deep look into how the condensate acts as a well-controlled medium for nonlinear wave phenomena. Readers will examine topics such as four-wave mixing, dark and bright solitons, and dynamic instabilities. Additionally, the text covers the physics of vortices through the study of rotating condensates. Part of the Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics, this volume is a significant resource for those studying the evolution of atomic gas research.
