| Bose-Einstein condensate, Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Optics. | Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is established as a highly tunable system with larger coherence time. Hence, controlling BEC by engineering various kinds of external trap has become extremely important for future technology in this system. We have provided novel exact analytical models for couple of recent remarkable experiments: BEC in bi-chromatic optical lattices, atom-interferometry in BEC at Negative temperature etc. In addition, we have given a theoretical model, unified in the level of external trap, to obtain localised solitary wave excitations. These studies pave the possibility of technological applications with better transparency in the dynamics. An intense numerical study on the chopping of BEC with potential knives is also in place. Moreover, we have provided a classical-quantum correspondence through diffraction limit of the quantum interference structures of Generalized cat state. |
