We consider a basic model of the lossless interaction between a moving two-level atom and a standing-wave single-mode laser field. Classical treatment of the translational atomic motion provides the semiclassical Hamilton-Schrodinger…

The scattering between light and individual saturable quantum emitters can induce strong optical nonlinearities and correlations between individual light quanta. Typically, this leads to an effective attraction that can generate exotic…

We consider the problem of the formation of soliton states from a modulationally unstable initial condition in the framework of the Schr\"odinger-Poisson (or Newton-Schr\"odinger) equation accounting for gravitational interactions. We…
