Here we present, to our knowledge, the first experimental realization of a Peregrine soliton in a dilute-gas BEC. Compared to water tank and optical experiments, our system has very different time and length scales and affords a very rich tool set for the controlled, reproducible creation and detailed investigation of these features. Our experiments are corroborated by one- and three-dimensional matching numerics.
This work opens up a new path towards experimental studies of spatio-temporal solitons.
