Abstract
We propose a scheme to generate solitons in arbitrary dimensions, in a matter-wave interferometer, without the need of quantum degeneracy. In our setting, solitons emerge by balancing the single-particle dispersion with engineered cavity-mediated exchange interactions between two wave packets, which, at the appropriate conditions, remain bound to each other and dispersion-free. For detection in thermal gases, we propose an interferometric probing scheme instead of traditional time-of-flight imaging.
