Abstract

The free particle Schrodinger equation admits a non-trivial self-accelerating Airy wave packet solution. Recently, the Airy beams that freely accelerate in space was experimentally realized in photonics community. Here we present self-accelerating waves for the Bose-Einstein condensate in a time dependent harmonic oscillator potential. We show that parity and time reversal symmetries for self accelerating waves are spontaneously broken.
