| Sumario: | We study a gas of interacting ultracold bosons held in a parabolic trap in the presence of an optical lattice potential. Treating the system as a discretized Gross-Pitaevskii model, we show how Floquet engineering, by rapidly "shaking" the lattice, allows the ground state of the system to be converted into a train of bright solitons by inverting the sign of the hopping energy. We study how the number of solitons produced depends on the system's nonlinearity and the curvature of the trap, show how the technique can be applied in both the high-and low-driving-frequency regimes, and demonstrate the phenomenon's stability against noise. We conclude that the Floquet approach is a useful and stable method of preparing solitons in cold-atom systems |
