Nonlinear dynamics and solitonic structures of two-component BECs

POSTER

Abstract

We present ongoing experimental studies of the rich nonlinear dynamics of two-component $^{87}$Rb BECs. These dynamics range from counterflow induced modulational instabilities to the formation of spin domains and novel solitonic structures, including soliton clusters. We report on the current status of the experiment.
