The Dynamics Of Dark-Bright (DB) Solitons Beyond The Mean-Field Approximation Is Investigated. We First Examine The Case Of A Single DB Soliton And Its Oscillations Within A Parabolic Trap. Subsequently, We Move To The Setting Of Collisions, Comparing The Mean-Field Approximation To That Involving Multiple Orbitals In Both The Dark And The Bright Component. Fragmentation Is Present And Significantly Affects The Dynamics, Especially In The Case Of Slower Solitons And In That Of Lower Atom Numbers. It Is Shown That The Presence Of Fragmentation Allows For Bipartite Entanglement Between The Distinguishable Species. Most Importantly The Interplay Between Fragmentation And Entanglement …

The existence, stability, and dynamics of bound pairs of symbiotic matter waves in the form of dark-bright soliton pairs in two-component mixtures of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates is investigated. Motivated by the tunability of the atomic interactions in recent experiments, we explore in detail the impact that changes in the interaction strengths have on these bound pairs by considering significant deviations from the integrable limit. It is found that dark-bright soliton pairs exist as stable configurations in a wide parametric window spanning both the miscible and the immiscible regime of interactions. Outside this parameter interval, two unstable regions are identified and …
