Abstract

In this Letter, we show that a three-dimensional Bose-Einstein solitary wave can become stable if the dispersion law is changed from quadratic to quartic. We suggest a way to realize the quartic dispersion, using shaken optical lattices. Estimates show that the resulting solitary waves can occupy as little as ∼1/20-th of the Brillouin zone in each of the three directions and contain as many as N=¹⁰³ atoms, thus representing a fully mobile macroscopic three-dimensional object.
