Domain formation of modulation instability in spin-orbit-Rabi coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation with cubic-quintic interactions

Abstract: The effect of two- and three-body interactions on the modulation instability (MI) domain formation of a spin-orbit (SO) and Rabi-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate is studied within a quasi-one-dimensional model. To this aim, we perform numerical and analytical investigations of the associated dispersion relations derived from the corresponding coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The interplay between the linear (SO and Rabi) couplings with the nonlinear cubic-quintic interactions are explored in the mixture, considering miscible and immiscible configurations, with a focus on the impact in the analysis of experimental realizations with general binary coupled systems, in which nonlinear interactions can be widely varied together with linear couplings.
