Abstract
We report a droplet to a soliton crossover by tuning the external confinement potential in a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate by numerically solving the modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The testimony of such a crossover is presented via studying the fractional density of the condensate which smoothly migrates from being a flat-head curve at weak confinement to a bright soliton at strong confinement. Such a transition occurs across a region of the potential whose strength varies over an order of magnitude and thus should be fit to be termed as a crossover. We supplement our studies via exploring the size of the bound pairs and the ramifications of the particle density therein. Eventually, all of these aid us in arriving at a phase diagram in a space defined by the trap strength and the particle number that shows the formation of two phases consisting of droplets and solitons, along with a regime of coexistence of these two.
