Abstract: The collapse of quasi-two-dimensional pseudospin-1/2 Bose-Einstein condensate of attract-
ing atoms with intra- and cross-spin interaction is studied in the presence of the Rabi coupling. The
condensate dynamics is presented as a function of the self-interaction and Rabi frequency. The evolu-
tion of two components of the condensate by using the Gross-Pitaevskii equations is investigated.
The initial Gaussian ansatz for two-component wave functions is selected for the better interpretation
of the numerical results. The intra-spin-coupling modifies the critical number of atoms causing the
collapse while the collapse is observed only in a single pseudospin component. It is demonstrated
that for cross-spin-coupling only double spin-components collapse can occur.

1. Introduction
Understanding of behavior of nonlinear quantum systems, including solitons and in-
stantons, is critically important for understanding of quantum field and particles physics [1].
Thus, studies of experimentally available nonlinear quantum condensed matter systems
can shed light on variety of processes occuring on much smaller spatial scales and involv-
ing much higher energies. One of those nonlinear quantum condensed matter systems
is Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of interacting atoms [2]. The BECs open new research
avenues in low-energy quantum physics as well as in astrophysics and cosmology, where
they are actively studied for the understanding of the nature of mysterious Dark Matter [3]
and possible alternatives of the relativistic neutron stars as boson stars. The nonlinear
self-interaction that can be “repulsive” or “attractive” due to the Feshbach resonance [4] or
dipolar interactions [5,6] is critically important for the BECs properties. The attractive inter-
action in the BEC can produce solitons [7], quantum droplets [8,9], collapse processes [10],
and many other phenomena.
The BEC collapse is a dynamical process, corresponding to the squeezing of the char-
acteristic size of the condensate into a point and sequentially an explosion as occurs in
the experiments [11–14]. The collapse process depends on the dimension of the system
and interatomic interaction. For instance, in a one-dimensional system, a cubic inter-
atomic attraction in the condensate characterizes soliton dynamics [15] rather than the
collapse. However, in the presence of the stronger quintic nonlinearity, the condensate can
collapse [16]. In three dimensional systems with cubic nonlinearity attractive interaction
always leads to the BEC collapse while in two dimensions a critical number of atoms is
