Download or read book Nonlinear Waves: Classical and Quantum Aspects written by Fatkhulla Abdullaev and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-02 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading scientists discuss the most recent physical and experimental results in the physics of Bose-Einstein condensate theory, the theory of nonlinear lattices (including quantum and nonlinear lattices), and nonlinear optics and photonics. Classical and quantum aspects of the dynamics of nonlinear waves are considered. The contributions focus on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and on the quantum nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Recent experimental results on atomic condensates and hydrogen bonded systems are reviewed. Particular attention is given to nonlinear matter waves in periodic potential.
