Quench-produced solitons in a box-trapped Bose-Einstein condensate

We describe a protocol to prepare solitons in a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) box-trapped Bose-Einstein condensate using a quench of the isotropic s-wave scattering length. A quench to exactly four times the initial 1D coupling strength creates one soliton at each boundary of the box, which then...
