Abstract
In this paper, quantum solitons in the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam (FPU) model are investigated analytically. By using the canonical transform method and number-conserving approximation, we obtain the normal form of the phonon-conserving quantized Hamiltonian. In order to convert the quantized Hamiltonian into the coordinate space, we employ the inverse Fourier transform. With the help of the Hartree approximate and the semidiscrete multiple-scale method, the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is derived. The results show that quantum solitons may exist in the FPU model. Moreover, it is found that moving quantum solitons become quantum intrinsic localized modes under certain condition. In addition, we obtain the energy level of quantum solitons, which indicates that the energy of such quantum solitons is quantized.
