Towards controlling matter wave lattice solitons — •Anna Sanpera — Department of Physics, ICREA, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona

The field of Bose-Einstein Condensation has stimulated a renewed interest in solitonic models, starting from the first experimental demonstration of continuous dark and bright solitons in condensates. The possibility, nowadays, to load the condensate in an optical lattice or to change its scattering length opens the path towards a control of such structures hardly achievable in other areas of physics.
