This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in the fundamental
understanding and active control of quantum fluids of light in nonlinear optical systems. In …

This paper reviews the recent theoretical and experimental advances in the study of ultra-
cold gases made of bosonic particles interacting via the long-range, anisotropic dipole …

The current research into solitons and their use in fiber optic communications is very
important to the future of communications. Since the advent of computer networking and …

We present a detailed overview of the physics and applications of optical dark solitons:
localized nonlinear waves (orholes') existing on a stable continuous wave (or extended finite …

This review paper presents an overview of the theoretical and experimental progress on the
study of matter-wave dark solitons in atomic Bose–Einstein condensates. Upon introducing …

We have created spatial dark solitons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in
which the soliton exists in one of the condensate components and the soliton nodal plane is …

The phenomenon of Bose–Einstein condensation is a phase transition originally predicted
by Bose and Einstein in 1924. In particular, it was shown that below a critical temperature T …

We have used an extension of our slow light technique to provide a method for inducing
small density defects in a Bose-Einstein condensate. These sub-resolution, micrometer …

We give an overview of the basic physical concepts and analytical methods for investigating
the symmetry-breaking instabilities of solitary waves. We discuss self-focusing of spatial …

Optical vortices in linear and nonlinear media may exhibit propagation dynamics similar to
hydrodynamic vortex phenomena. Analytical and numerical methods are used to describe …
