Abstract
We investigate bright matter-wave solitons in the presence of a spatially varying scattering length. It is demonstrated that a soliton can be confined due to the inhomogeneous collisional interactions. Moreover, we observe the enhanced transmission of matter-wave solitons through potential barriers for suitably chosen spatial variations of the scattering length. The results indicate that the manipulation of atomic interactions can become a versatile tool to control matter-wave dynamics.
