الوصف: The large-scale expansion dynamics of quantum gases is a central tool for ultracold gas experiments and poses a significant challenge for theory. In this work we provide an exact reformulation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the ultracold Bose gas in a coordinate frame that adaptively scales with the system size during evolution, enabling simulations of long evolution times during expansion or similar large-scale manipulation. Our approach makes no hydrodynamic approximations, is not restricted to a scaling ansatz, harmonic potentials, or energy eigenstates, and can be generalized readily to non-contact interactions via the appropriate stress tensor of the quantum fluid. As applications, we simulate the expansion of the ideal gas, a cigar-shaped condensate in the Thomas-Fermi regime, and a linear superposition of counter propagating Gaussian wavepackets. We recover known scaling for the ideal gas and Thomas-Fermi regimes, and identify a linear regime of aspect-ratio preserving free expansion; analysis of the scaling dynamics equations shows that an exact, aspect-ratio invariant, free expansion does not exist for nonlinear evolution. Our treatment enables exploration of nonlinear effects in matter-wave dynamics over large scale-changing evolution.
