We investigate magnetic solitons in an immiscible binary Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), where the intraspecies interactions are slightly weaker than the interspecies interactions. While their density and phase profiles are analogous to…

Bright solitary waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate contain thousands of identical atoms held together despite their only weakly attractive contact interactions. They nonetheless behave like a compound object, staying whole in collisions,…

Merging of isolated Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is an important topic due to its relevance to matter-wave interferometry and the Kibble-Zurek mechanism. Many past research focused on merging of BECs with uniform initial phases. In our…

The existence of solitons -- stable, long-lived, and localized field configurations -- is a generic prediction for ultralight dark matter. These solitons, known by various names such as boson stars, axion stars, oscillons, and Q-balls…

We experimentally generate two-dimensional Jones-Roberts solitons in a three-dimensional atomic Bose-Einstein condensate by imprinting a triangular phase pattern. By monitoring their dynamics we observe that this kind of solitary waves are…

I point out how coherence vortices, i.e., topological defects in a correlation function, could help explore new physics if they are created in matter waves. Vortex dynamics could be studied in up to six dimensions, and spin topological…
