Abstract
We theoretically study the coherent expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a confining impenetrable hard-wall potential. The nonlinear dynamics of the macroscopically coherent matter field results in rich and complex spatio-temporal interference patterns demonstrating the formation of vorticity and solitonlike structures, and the fragmentation of the condensate into coherently coupled pieces.
