Nonequilibrium dynamics of two-component Bose gas with tunable Rydberg interactions: From ring dark soliton to self-structured pattern formation

We explore the nonequilibrium dynamics of ring dark solitions in a two-dimensional binary Bose–Einstein condensate with tunable Rydberg interactions by numerical simulation of the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation. Our results show that both the vortex dynamics and self-structured pattern formation show strong dependence on the periodic modulation of Rydberg interactions. For the cases without periodic modulation of the interactions, or the periodic modulation part is almost equal to the fixed part, the system exhibits exotic vortex dynamics without self-structured pattern formation. Finally, the effect of periodically varying Rydberg interactions on the lifetime of ring dark soliton is also considered.
