Dynamics and stability of matter-wave solitons in cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates dragged by Poschl-Teller potential

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the dynamics and stability of matter-wave solitons (MWS) in a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) consisting of atoms with attractive interatomic interactions trapped by Poschl-Teller (PT) potential. In this scenario, we propose the idea of the BEC being dragged by PT potential at a constant speed. The BEC was modeled by the quasi-one-dimensional Gross-Piteaevskii Equation (1D-GPE). In addition, an analytical (time-dependent variational method) and numerical (split-step Crank-Nicolson method) approach has been proposed to investigate the dynamic properties of solitons during the temporal evolution of this system. Both analytical and numerical results demonstrated that MWSs dragged by PT potential can be stable. From a general point of view, the results obtained in this paper can motivate both theoretical and experimental investigations on the dynamics and stability of solitons in dilute and ultracold unitary Bose gases trapped by PT potential, nonlinear optical properties in PT quantum wells, and propagation of solitons in nonlinear media.
