We investigate the dynamics of two miscible superfluids experiencing fast counterflow in a narrow channel. The superfluids are formed by two distinguishable components of a trapped dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The onset of counterflow-induced modulational instability throughout the cloud is observed and shown to lead to the proliferation of dark-dark vector solitons. These solitons do not exist in single-component systems, exhibit intriguing beating dynamics, and can experience a…

Dark-bright solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates at finite temperatures
We study the dynamics of dark-bright (DB) solitons in binary mixtures of Bose gases at finite temperature using a system of two coupled dissipative Gross?Pitaevskii equations. We develop a…
Beating dark–dark solitons in Bose–Einstein condensates
Motivated by recent experimental results, we study beating dark?dark (DD) solitons as a prototypical coherent structure that emerges in two-component Bose?Einstein condensates. We showcase their…

Three-Component Soliton States in Spinor F=1 Bose-Einstein Condensates.
TLDR
It is experimentally demonstrated the existence of robust dark-bright-bright (DBB) and dark-dark-bright solitons in a multicomponent F=1 condensate and theoretical analysis shows that small-amplitudesolitons of these types obey universal long-short wave resonant interaction models, namely, Yajima-Oikawa systems.
Statics and dynamics of atomic dark-bright solitons in the presence of impurities
Adopting a mean-field description for a two-component atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, we study the statics and dynamics of dark-bright solitons in the presence of localized impurities. We use…
Observation of Spin Superfluidity in a Bose Gas Mixture.
The spin dynamics of a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensed binary mixture of sodium atoms is experimentally investigated at finite temperature. In the collisional regime the motion of the…
Impact of higher-order nonlinearity on modulational instability in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates.
TLDR
A system of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations with residual nonlinearity that rule the dynamics of the mixture is presented and it is found that the MI can be excited in miscible condensates and altered in immisciblecondensates due to the effect of residual non linearity.
Critical Spin Superflow in a Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensate.
TLDR
Another critical point for spin superflow is identified, in which transverse magnon excitations are dynamically generated via spin-exchanging collisions, which leads to the transient formation of axial polar spin domains.
Density profiles of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates interacting with a Laguerre–Gaussian beam
The density profiles of trapped two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) and its microscopic interaction with Laguerre Gaussian (LG) beam are studied. We consider the $^{87}$Rb BEC in two…
Exotic complexes in two-component one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates
