We show that an explicit time-marching method previously developed for the numerical study of the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates can be profitably adapted to the numerical determination of their ground state. After reduction to a one-dimensional model, we first reproduce and test known results on condensates in harmonic traps and then determine the ground state of a condensate in a harmonically bound optical lattice in the range of parameters which are relevant to existing experiments.

Abstract

We show that an explicit time-marching method previously developed for the numerical study of the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates can be profitably adapted to the numerical determination of their ground state. After reduction to a one-dimensional model, we first reproduce and test known results on condensates in harmonic traps and then determine the ground state of a condensate in a harmonically bound optical lattice in the range of parameters which are relevant to existing experiments.
