Abstract:
We review the general features of particles, waves and solitons in dynamical cavities formed by oscillating cavity mirrors. Considered are the dynamics of classical particles in one-dimensional geometry of a dynamical billiard, taking into account the non-elastic collisions of particles with mirrors, the (quasi-energy) states of a single quantum particle in a potential well with periodically oscillating wells, and nonlinear structures, including nonlinear Rabi oscillations, cavity optical solitons and solitons of Bose-Einstein condensates, in dynamical cavities or traps.
