Since the presence of chaos in Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) systems plays a destructive role that can under-
mine the stability of the condensates, controlling the chaos is of great importance for the creation of the BEC.
In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to synchronize the chaotic dynamics of two identical master-slave
BEC systems has been proposed. Unlike the conventional approaches, where expert knowledge is directly used
to construct the fuzzy rules and membership functions, the fuzzy rules have been constructed using Lyapunov
stability theorem ensuring the synchronization process. The effectiveness of the proposed controller has been
demonstrated numerically.
Key words: fuzzy logic controller, synchronization, chaos, Bose-Einstein condensate
1. Introduction
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is a process, in which the system forms a single coherent matter
wave after the temperature of boson gases is reduced below a critical level. The theoretical background
of BEC was set by Einstein in [1, 2], with the idea that the boson gases will experience a phase transition
at their critical temperature, whereas the idea was experimentally verified in 1995 using the dilute atomic
vapor of rubidium and sodium [3, 4].
Despite the fact that the temperatures obtained with lasers are quite low, to be able to form BEC,
an additional cooling method is required to enable the atoms with relatively higher energy to escape
from the trap [5]. In this cooling method, which reduces the kinetic energy of the entire system, the
magneto-optical trap and lasers are turned off while another magnetic field is activated at the same time.
The energy of the atoms at the center of the trap is considerably smaller than the energy of the atoms at
the corners of the trap. Trapped dilute boson gases interact with each other due to their physical properties
or due to collisions. In the interacting gases, only weakly interacting states caused by binary collisions
(𝑠-wave scattering) are considered, as it is not possible to express the system macroscopically with a
single wave function in non-weak interactions.
Radiofrequency is used to enable atoms with higher energies to escape from the trap, which provides
a change in the spinning direction of the atoms. This process generates a repulsive force for atoms, where
the magnetic field and the magnetic moment are parallel. An attractive force occurs among the atoms due
to opposite magnetic moments. The repulsive force separates the atomic cloud as trapped and untrapped,
and allows the atoms with more energy standing at the corners to be thrown out of the trap. The atoms
in the trap collide and transfer their momentum to each other; and they come into equilibrium at a new
low thermal energy called back thermalization. This process is repeated until the critical temperature is
reached [6].
