Nonlocal Pair Correlations in a Higher-Order Bose Gas Soliton

Abstract

The truncated Wigner and positive-P phase-space representations are used to study the dynamics of a one-dimensional Bose gas. This allows calculations of the breathing quantum dynamics of higher-order solitons with 103-105 particles, as in realistic Bose-Einstein condensation experiments. Although classically stable, these decay quantum mechanically. Our calculations show that there are large nonlocal correlations and nonclassical quantum entanglement.
