Findings

Exact dark state solutions exist in double-well, periodic, and harmonic potentials.

Dark states are robust across a wide parameter space including nonlinear collisions and atom-molecule coupling.

Results suggest feasible experimental setups for observing dark states in coupled BECs.

Abstract

We consider a coupled nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations describing an atomic Bose-Einstein condensates coupled to a molecular condensates through the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage loaded in an external potential. The existence of dark state are investigated within the full parameter space accounts for all the nonlinear collisions, together with the atom-molecule conversion coupling and external potential. The results show that there are a class of external potentials such as double-well, periodical and double periodical, and harmonic potentials, where the exact dark solutions can be formed. Our results may raise the possibility of relative experiments for dark state in the coupled atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensates.
