The three-component Gross–Pitaevskii equation with an angular momentum rotational term can be served as a model to study spinor Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) with time–space modulated interactions. Vortex solutions of the spinor BECs with spatiotemporally modulated interactions are worked out by similarity transformation. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of vortex states are demonstrated. Stable vortex states are obtained by adjusting the frequency of the external potential and the spatiotemporally modulated interaction.

The density distributions |Ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams at t = 0 of the vortex solution (9) of the rotating spin-1 BECs for topological charge α = 1. (a1)–(a4) Evolution of the density distributions |Ψ1(x,y,0)|2 for different radial quantum numbers n and the phase diagram.

The density profiles |Ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams at t = 0 for the vortex solution (9) of the rotating spin-1 BECs for different topological charge α and fixed quantum number n = 1. The blue lines denote the density profiles |Ψ± 1,0|2 for the topological charge α = 1, respectively. The green lines denote the density profiles |Ψ± 1,0|2 for the topological charge α = 2 and the red lines denote the density profiles |Ψ± 1,0|2 for the topological charge α = 3, respectively.

The evolution of density distributions |ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams for the vortex solution (9) of the rotating spin-1 BECs for different values of topological charge α and fixed quantum number n = 1. The first column is stable vortex for the topological charge α = 1. The second and third columns are unstable vortex for the topological charge α = 2 and α = 3, respectively.

Time evolution of density distributions |ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams for the vortex solution (9) of the rotating spin-1 BECs for different values of topological charge α and quantum number n. The first three lines show the evolution of density distributions |ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams for n = α = 1. The three lines in the middle show the evolution of density distributions |ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams for n = 1 and α = 2. The last three lines demonstrate the evolution of density distributions |ψ± 1,0|2 and phase diagrams for n = 2 and α = 1. The parameters are Ω = 0.5, μ1 = 8, μ2 = 4, ϵ = 0.1 and ω0 = 0.2.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
