Abstract

We study Thouless pumping and arresting of gap solitons in a two-component Bose gas loaded into an optical superlattice. We show that, depending on the atomic interactions and chemical potentials, the two solitons can be simultaneously pumped or trapped, but we also identify regimes where one soliton is pumped and the other arrested. These behaviors can be understood by considering an effective model of the system based on a variational approach, which reveals that the soliton width is a suitable qualifier for the observed behaviors: solitons with a larger width get transported, while solitons with a smaller width get trapped. Since these widths can be controlled by tuning interactions, it should be possible to observe all behaviors experimentally. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
