Adhikari, S. K.2014-05-202014-05-202002-04-15Physics Letters A. Amsterdam: Elsevier B.V., v. 296, n. 2-3, p. 145-150, 2002.0375-9601http://hdl.handle.net/11449/23504Recently, Donley et al. performed an experiment on the dynamics of collapsing and exploding Bose-Einstein condensates by suddenly changing the scattering length of atomic interaction to a large negative value on a preformed repulsive condensate of Rb-85 atoms in an axially symmetric trap. Consequently, the condensate collapses and ejects atoms via explosions, We show that the accurate numerical solution of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation with axial symmetry can explain some aspects of the dynamics of the collapsing condensate.
