Abstract

We propose efficient and accurate numerical methods for computing the ground-state solution of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates subjected to a uniform magnetic field. The key idea in designing the numerical method is based on the normalized gradient flow with the introduction of a third normalization condition, together with two physical constraints on the conservation of total mass and conservation of total magnetization. Different treatments of the Zeeman energy terms are found to yield different numerical accuracies and stabilities. Numerical comparison between different numerical schemes is made, and the best scheme is identified. The numerical scheme is then applied to compute the condensate ground state in a harmonic plus optical lattice potential, and the effect of the periodic potential, in particular to the relative population of each hyperfine component, is investigated through comparison to the condensate ground state in a pure harmonic trap.

Main findings

The authors propose numerical methods based on a normalized gradient flow with an added normalization condition and constraints conserving total mass and total magnetization. Different treatments of Zeeman energy terms produced different numerical accuracies and stabilities, and a best-performing scheme was identified. The scheme was applied to compute ground states in harmonic plus optical lattice potentials and to investigate effects on relative hyperfine-component populations versus a pure harmonic trap.
