• Abstract: We study the pumping of matter-wave solitons formed in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with attractive atomic interactions that are loaded into optical superlattices in which one of the lattices is moving with respect to the other. We find that solitons exhibit the remarkably similar pumping properties in both shallow and deep lattices, and that for exactly the same soliton initially excited, switching between integer (fractional) pumping and trapping can be achieved by simply adjusting the lattice parameters. In addition, we find that the gap solitons, which bifurcate from the lowest energy band in a semi-infinite band gap, also exhibit this lattice-parameter-dependent pumping and trapping. The treatment of solitons as classical particles with effective centre-of-mass equations of motion provides a good description of this parameter-dependent integer (fractional) pumping and trapping of solitons.

  We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

  We consider a condensate of ultra cold bosonic atoms in a linear optical cavity illuminated by a two-pump configuration. We show such configuration allows a smooth transition from a one-dimensional quantum optical lattice configuration to a two-dimensional quantum optical lattice configuration induced by the cavity-atom interaction.

  We consider the open two-site Bose-Hubbard dimer for photons in two coupled photonic crystal nanocavities. For large numbers of photons, the model gives rise to a limiting semiclassical model in the form of a four-dimensional vector field. Even for small numbers of photons, the fingerprint of the semiclassical bifurcations can be recognised reliably in observables of quantum trajectories.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
