We introduce four basic two-dimensional (2D) plaquette configurations with onsite cubic nonlinearities, which may be used as building blocks for 2D PT -symmetric lattices. For each configuration, we develop a dynamical model and examine its…

We explore the properties of bosonic atoms loaded into the d bands of an isotropic square optical lattice. Following the recent experimental success reported in [Y. Zhai et al., Phys. Rev. A 87, 063638 (2013)], in which populating d bands…

We construct families of ordinary and gap solitons (GSs), including solitary vortices, in the two-dimensional (2D) system based on the nonlinear-Schr\"Aodinger/Gross-Pitaevskii equation with the 2D or quasi-1D (Q1D) periodic linear…

Quasi-one-dimensional solitons that may occur in an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate become unstable at high particle density. We study two basic modes of instability and the corresponding bifurcations to genuinely three-dimensional…

We consider as base flow the stationary vortex filament solution obtained by Castillo- Castellanos et al. (2021) in the far-wake of a rotor with tip-splitting blades. The cases of a single blade and of two blades with a hub vortex are…

The Mott-insulating phase of the two-dimensional (2d) Bose-Hubbard model is expected to be characterized by a non-local brane parity order. Parity order captures the presence of microscopic particle-hole fluctuations and entanglement, whose…

We analyze vortex nucleation in mezoscopic 2D Bose superfluid in a rotating trap. We explicitly include a weakly anisotropic stirring potential, breaking thus explicitly the axial symmetry. As the rotation frequency passes the critical…
