Quantization of weakly nonlinear lattices: Envelope solitons
A method of quantizing weakly nonlinear lattices is proposed. It is based on introducing ``pseudofield'' operators. In this formalism quantum envelope solitons together with phonons are regarded as elementary quasiparticles making up a boson gas. In the classical limit the excitations corresponding to frequencies above a linear cutoff frequency are …
