Abstract

We consider an inverse problem of recovering the unknown coefficients β(t,x)\beta(t,x) and V(t,x)V(t,x) appearing in a time-dependent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (it+Δ+V)u+βu2=0 (\mathrm{i} \partial_t +\Delta +V)u + \beta u^2=0 in (0,T)×M(0,T) \times M, on Euclidean geometry as well as on Riemannian geometry. We consider measurements in ΩM\Omega \subset M that is a neighborhood of the boundary of MM and the source-to-solution map Lβ,V L_{\beta, V} that maps a source ff supported in Ω×(0,T) \Omega\times (0,T) to the restriction of the solution uu in Ω×(0,T) \Omega\times (0,T) . We show that the map Lβ,VL_{\beta, V} uniquely determines the time-dependent potential and the coefficient of the non-linearity, for the above non-linear Schr\"odinger equation and for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, with a cubic non-linear term βu2u\beta |u|^2 \, u, that is encountered in quantum physics.
