Figure 3
(Color online) Numerical simulations of the cases of Figs. 2c, 2b. Figure 2c is to the left of vertical line. Each image shows the GP wave function density, in arbitrary units, integrated through the tight trap direction. Density is indicated by the colobar at the bottom of the figure, with black and white corresponding to zero and high density, respectively. Each image is
in both directions. From top to bottom the rows are

is the beginning of the first rf pulse. The columns from left to right are the
states. The top-left image therefore shows the trapped position of the initial
condensate. Figure 2b is to the right of vertical line. Only the
state is shown. The rows are as before but the rf pulses occur at
and
. Each image is
vertically and
horizontally. The rightmost image shows the
state density on a slice plane through the tight trap direction, just after the third rf pulse. It is
horizontally and about
vertically, allowing the first pulse to be seen. Simulation parameters:
