Abstract
Quantized vortices have been observed in a variety of superfluid systems, from ^4e to Bose-Einstein condensates and ultracold Fermi gases along the BEC-BCS crossover. In this article we study the stability of singly quantized vortex lines in dilute dipolar self-bound droplets. We first discuss the energetic stability region of dipolar vortex excitations within a variational ansatz in the generalized nonlocal Gross-Pitaevskii functional that includes quantum fluctuation corrections. We find a wide region where an absolute minimum corresponding to a vortex state exists. We then show via large scale dynamical simulations that such vortices are subject to fragmentation into two droplets with equal particle number when the splitting energy, defined as the energy difference of the droplet with vortex and two non-overlapping ground state droplets, is positive. When the splitting energy is negative droplets hosting a vortex do not fragment but develop Kelvin waves, leading eventually to a bending of the vortex line. We conclude with some experimental considerations for the observation of such states and suggest possible extensions of this work.

Quantum droplets are small clusters of atoms self-bound by the balance of attractive and repulsive forces. Here, we report on the observation of droplets solely stabilized by contact interactions in a mixture of two Bose-Einstein condensates. We demonstrate that they are several orders of magnitude more dilute than liquid helium by directly measuring their size and density via in situ imaging. We show that the droplets are stablized against collapse by quantum fluctuations and that they require ...

We calculate the collective excitations of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in the regime where it self-binds into droplets stabilized by quantum fluctuations. We show that the filament-shaped droplets act as a quasi-one-dimensional waveguide along which low-angular-momentum phonons propagate. The evaporation (unbinding) threshold occurring as the atom number N is reduced to the critical value N_{c} is associated with a monopolelike excitation going soft as e_{0}∼(N-N_{c})^{1/4}. Considering t...

We study theoretically and experimentally the behavior of a strongly confined dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in the regime of quantum-mechanical stabilization by beyond-mean-field effects. Theoretically, we demonstrate that self-organized striped'' ground states are predicted in the framework of the extended Gross-Pitaevskii theory. Experimentally, by tilting the magnetic dipoles we show that self-organized striped states can be generated, likely in their metastable state. Matter-wave interf...

Laser induced transitions between internal states of atoms have been playing a fundamental role to manipulate atomic clouds for many decades. In absence of interactions each atom behaves independently and their coherent quantum dynamics is described by the Rabi model. Since the experimental observation of Bose condensation in dilute gases, static and dynamical properties of multicomponent quantum gases have been extensively investigated. Moreover, at very low temperatures quantum fluctuations cr...

We consider weakly interacting bosonic gases with local and non-local multi-body interactions. By using the Bogoliubov approximation, we first investigate contact interactions, studying the case in which the interparticle potential can be written as a sum of N-body {\delta}-interactions, and then considering general contact potentials. Results for the quasi-particle spectrum and the stability are presented. We then examine non-local interactions, focusing on two different cases of 3-body non-loc...

AbstractDuring the last decade, density function theory (DFT) in its static and dynamic time dependent forms, has emerged as a powerful tool to describe the structure and dynamics of doped liquid helium and droplets. In this review, we summarise the activity carried out in this field within the DFT framework since the publication of the previous review article on this subject [M. Barranco et al., J. Low Temp. Phys. 142, 1 (2006)]. Furthermore, a comprehensive presentation of the actual implement...

Abstract We systematically study the properties of dipolar Bose gases with two- and three-body contact interactions at finite temperature using the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov–Popov approximation. In uniform case, we obtain an exciting new extension of the seminal Lee–Huang–Yang corrected equation of state that depends explicitly on the thermal fluctuations and on the coupling constant of the three-body interaction. We investigate, on the other hand, the effects of thermal fluctuations on the occurr...

Reconnections and interactions of filamentary coherent structures play a fundamental role in the dynamics of fluids, plasmas and nematic liquid crystals. In fluids, vortex reconnections redistribute energy and helicity among the length scales and induce fine-scale turbulent mixing. Unlike ordinary fluids where vorticity is a continuous field, in quantum fluids vorticity is concentrated into discrete (quantized) vortex lines turning vortex reconnections into isolated events, making it conceptuall...

Abstract null null We consider the dynamical model of quantum droplets (QDs) launched in a deep optical lattice. This setting is modeled by a one-dimensional discrete Gross-Pitaevskii equation with Lee-Huang-Yang corrections. We find that the hopping rate, null null null C null null , plays a dominant role in characterizing the properties of the system. The system can be divided into two regions: the quasicontinuum (QC) and tightly-bound (TB) regions. In the QC region, where the hopping rate nul...

We predict a new type of two- and three-dimensional stable quantum droplets persistently rotating in broad external two-dimensional and weakly anharmonic potential. Their evolution is described by the system of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations with Lee-Huang-Yang quantum corrections. Such droplets resemble whispering-gallery modes localized in the polar direction due to nonlinear interactions and, depending on their chemical potential and rotation frequency, they appear in rich variety of shapes, ...

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 self-repulsion 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. Rece...

In this work, we present the study of the stationary structures and the breathing mode behavior of a two-dimensional self-bound binary Bose droplet. We employ an analytical approach using a variational ansatz with a super-Gaussian trial order parameter and compare it with the numerical solutions of the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We find that the super-Gaussian is superior to the often used Gaussian ansatz in describing the stationary and dynamical properties of the system. We find that ...

We study the stability of zero-vorticity and vortex lattice quantum droplets (LQDs), which are described by a two-dimensional (2D) Gross–Pitaevskii (GP) equation with a periodic potential and Lee–Huang–Yang (LHY) term. The LQDs are divided in two types: onsite-centered and offsite-centered LQDs, the centers of which are located at the minimum and the maximum of the potential, respectively. The stability areas of these two types of LQDs with different number of sites for zero-vorticity and vortic...

Abstract We study two-dimensional (2D) vortex quantum droplets (QDs) trapped by a thicker transverse confinement with a ⊥ > 1 μ m . Under this circumstance, the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) term should be described by its original form in the three-dimensional (3D) configuration. Previous studies have demonstrated that stable 2D vortex QDs can be supported by a thin transverse confinement with a ⊥ ≪ 1 μ m . In this case, the LHY term is described by a logarithm. Hence, two kinds of confinement features ...
