We simulate and analyze an experimental method of loading interacting ultracold atoms onto nontrivial quantum states such as nonlinear Bloch wave and soliton solutions in a 1-dimensional bichromatic lattice. Of standard bands, inverted bands, and bands with Dirac-like points permitted by a bichromatic lattice, we consider the case of an inverted band and examine the loading process in terms of nonlinear Bloch waves formed by an aggregate of ultracold atoms described by the mean-field model. Specifically, we solved the Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically and found an appropriate standing wave-pulse sequence for the inverted band, which sequence proved to be a suitable protocol for producing soliton solutions. In addition, we examined the effect of an external potential and dynamical instabilities for the post-loading process. We also provide an appropriate data set for future experimental realization of our findings.
