• Title: Dimers and discrete breathers in Bose-Einstein condensates in a quasi-periodic potential
• Authors: Vladimir V. Konotop,
• Abstract summary: A quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a quasi-periodic potential created by two sub-lattices of comparable amplitudes and incommensurate periods is considered. Families of nonlinear modes are described with a special focus on dimers, which correspond to breather solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a quasi-periodic potential.

• Abstract: A quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a quasi-periodic potential created by two sub-lattices of comparable amplitudes and incommensurate periods is considered. Although the conventional tight-binding approximation is not applicable in this setting, the description can still be reduced to a discrete model that accounts for the modes below the mobility edge. In the respective discrete lattice, where no linear hopping exists, solutions and their dynamics are governed solely by nonlinear interactions. Families of nonlinear modes, including those with no linear limit, are described with a special focus on dimers, which correspond to breather solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a quasi-periodic potential. The breathers are found to be stable for negative scattering lengths. Localization and stable propagation of breathers are also observed for positive scattering lengths at relatively weak and moderate nonlinearities.

  This equation represents a novel discrete system in which the nearest-neighbor coupling is combined with long-range interactions. The dispersion relation for lattice waves and the corresponding propagation band in the system's linear spectrum are found in an exact form for all values of LI. Formation of single-site and two-site discrete solitons is explored, starting from the anti-continuum limit. Mobility of the discrete solitons is considered too, by means of an estimate of the system's Peierls-Nabarro potential barrier.

  We deal with a class of nonlinear Schr"odinger lattices with random potential and subquadratic power nonlinearity.

The limit of quadratic power nonlinearity is also discussed and shown to result in a delocalization border.

  We study the nonlinear perturbation of a high-order exceptional point (EP) of the order equal to the system site number $L$ in a Hatano-Nelson model. We find a class of discrete breathers that aggregate to one boundary, here named as it skin discrete breathers (SDBs) The nonlinear spectrum of these SDBs shows a hierarchical power-law scaling near the EP.

  interacting bosons in the ground state exist either in the superfluid or insulating phases. Superfluidity corresponds to frictionless flow of the matter field, and in optical conductivity is revealed through a distinct $delta$-functional peak. In insulating phases, defined by zero static optical conductivity, this characteristic low-frequency feature is instead absent.
