Abstract
Optical solitons in fibres are attractive macro-scopical quantum objects, which are particle-like pulses propagating over large distances without distortion due to the balance between Kerr nonlinearity and group velocity dispersion effects. However, in the frame of the quantum theory, they exhibit a complicated internal quantum structure with non-trivial nonlinear dynamics.
