- Abstract: Experiments on attractive Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have unlocked many intriguing out-of-equilibrium dynamics through the interplay between matter-wave dispersion and nonlinear attractive interaction. Competition between these effects leads to fascinating phenomena such as wave collapse, modulational instability, and formation of multidimensional bright solitons. This chapter reviews experimental studies on attractive condensates, with a primary focus on alkali atoms featuring two-body contact interactions. We review recent experimental advances in optical trapping and interaction control techniques, which have enabled new studies on attractive condensates in three and also in lower dimensions. Specifically, we discuss pioneering and recent experimental observations on the dynamics and stability of attractive BECs, including the formation of bright solitons, their collisions, and excitations in quasi-one-dimensional traps. Recent observations of the elusive two-dimensional Townes solitons and vortex solitons are also discussed in this Chapter. We then highlight an experimental technique revealing the nonclassical signatures of modulational instability in an attractive condensate.

Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement.
We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.
