Dipolar BEC
• Matter in bulk is stable because of short-range repulsion of fundamental interactions in nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics.
• Nonlinear long-range anisotropic interaction (partially attractive and partially repulsive) and short-range repulsion make the BEC robust.
• This makes dipolar BEC solitons more robust than normal BEC solitons.

Soliton in one dimension (1D)
• An 1D soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed.
• It is generated from a balance between repulsive kinetic energy and attractive nonlinear interaction.
• It is robust and two 1D solitons can penetrate through each other in collision.
• They appear in many physical systems as well as many mathematical models.

Solitons in three dimensions (3D)
• 3D solitons can be formed with supporting harmonic traps (potential) in transverse directions and no trap in axial direction.
• 3D solitons are more fragile than 1D solitons.
• Dipolar BEC soliton in 3D is more stable than normal soliton.
![Page 24: Critical stability of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate: Bright and vortex solitons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56813298550346895d992e43/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Experiment and 1D model of BEC soliton
• Use harmonic traps in transverse directions and assume that BEC is in the ground state of transverse traps
• Substitute in the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation and integrate out the transverse coordinates.
• Hence obtain a 1D GP equation, commonly used in the study of solitons.

Dipolar soliton in 3D • Can be more stable due to short-range atomic
repulsion and long-range dipolar attraction as in matter in bulk.
• When a, add = positive, and a transverse trap is placed perpendicular to polarization direction.
• Bright and vortex solitons can be formed for repulsive atomic interactions.

Soliton-soliton Interaction
• Frontal collision at medium to high velocities. • Numerical simulation in 3D shows that the two
dipolar solitons pass through each other.• Molecule formation at low velocities. Soliton2
• If two solitons in 3D are kept side-by-side at rest, due to long range dipolar interaction they attract and slowly move towards each other. They penetrate, coalese and never come out and form a soliton molecule.
