This brief review summarizes recent theoretical and experimental results which predict and establish the existence of quantum droplets (QDs), i.e., robust two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) self-trapped states in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), which are stabilized by effective selffirepulsion induced by quantum fluctuations around the mean-field (MF) states [alias the Lee-Huang--Yang (LHY) effect]. The basic models are presented, taking special care of the dimension crossover, 2D -> 3D. Recently reported experimental results, which exhibit stable 3D and quasi-2D QDs in binary BECs, with the inter-component attraction slightly exceeding the MF self-repulsion in each component, and in single-component condensates of atoms carrying permanent magnetic moments, are presented in some detail. The summary of theoretical results is focused, chiefly, on 3D and quasi-2D QDs with embedded vorticity, as the possibility to stabilize such states is a remarkable prediction. Stable vortex states are presented both for QDs in free space, and for singular but physically relevant 2D modes pulled to the center by the inverse-square potential, with the quantum collapse suppressed by the LHY effect.
We study two-dimensional (2D) vortex quantum droplets (QDs) trapped by a thicker transverse confinement with a>1um. Under this circumstance, the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) term should be described by its original form in the three-dimensional (3D) configur ation. Previous studies have demonstrated that stable 2D vortex QDs can be supported by a thin transverse confinement with a<<1um. In this case, the LHY term is described by a logarithm. Hence, two kinds of confinement features result in different mechanisms of the vortex QDs. The stabilities and characteristics of the vortex QDs must be re-identified. In the current system, we find that stable 2D vortex QDs can be supported with topological charge number up to at least 4. We reformulated their density profile, chemical potential and threshold norm for supporting the stable vortex QDs according to the new condition. Unlike the QDs under thin confinement, the QDs in the current system strongly repel each other because the LHY term features a higher-order repulsion than that of the thin confinement system. Moreover, elastic and inelastic collisions between two moving vortex QDs are studied throughout the paper. Two kinds of collisions can be characterized by exerting different values of related speed. The dynamics of the stable nested vortex QD, which is constructed by embedding one vortex QD with a smaller topological number into another vortex QD with a larger number of topological charge, can be supported by the system.
Ultracold dipolar droplets have been realized in a series of ground-breaking experiments, where the stability of the droplet state is attributed to beyond-mean-field effects in the form of the celebrated Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) correction. We scrutinize the dipolar droplet states in a one-dimensional context using a combination of analytical and numerical approaches, and identify experimentally viable parameters for accessing our findings for future experiments. In particular we identify regimes of stability in the restricted geometry, finding multiple roton instabilities as well as regions supporting quasi-one-dimensional droplet states. By applying an interaction quench to the droplet, a modulational instability is induced and multiple droplets are produced, along with bright solitons and atomic radiation. We also assess the droplets robustness to collisions, revealing population transfer and droplet fission.
Recently achieved two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates open exciting possibilities for the study of mixtures of ultra-dilute quantum liquids. While non-dipolar self-bound mixtures are necessarily miscible with an approximately fixed ratio between the two densities, the density ratio for the dipolar case is free. As a result, self-bound dipolar mixtures present qualitatively novel and much richer physics, characterized by three possible ground-state phases: miscible, symmetric immiscible and asymmetric immiscible, which may in principle occur at any population imbalance. Self-bound immiscible droplets are possible due to mutual non-local inter-component attraction, which results in the formation of a droplet molecule. Moreover, our analysis of the impurity regime, shows that quantum fluctuations in the majority component crucially modify the miscibility of impurities. Our work opens intriguing perspectives for the exploration of spinor physics in ultra-dilute liquids, which should resemble to some extent that of 4He-3He droplets and impurity-doped helium droplets.
The structure and dynamics of one-dimensional binary Bose gases forming quantum droplets is studied by solving the corresponding amended Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Two physically different regimes are identified, corresponding to small droplets of an approximately Gaussian shape and large `puddles with a broad flat-top plateau. Small droplets collide quasi-elastically, featuring the soliton-like behavior. On the other hand, large colliding droplets may merge or suffer fragmentation, depending on their relative velocity. The frequency of a breathing excited state of droplets, as predicted by the dynamical variational approximation based on the Gaussian ansatz, is found to be in good agreement with numerical results. Finally, the stability diagram for a single droplet with respect to shape excitations with a given wave number is drawn, being consistent with preservation of the Weber number for large droplets.
