Area of Science:

  • Quantum physics
  • Atomic physics
  • Nonlinear dynamics

Background:

  • Matter-wave bright solitons are coherent matter-wave packets.
  • Stabilizing solitons in free space is challenging due to delocalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a method for stabilizing matter-wave bright solitons in two-dimensional (2D) free space.
  • To explore the use of rapidly oscillating interactions for soliton stabilization.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Feshbach resonance to rapidly modulate the interaction strength between atoms.
  • Implementing rapid oscillations between repulsive and attractive interaction regimes.
  • Theoretical and/or numerical modeling of soliton dynamics under oscillating interactions.
