Abstract

The authors propose a Gaussian-based theory to study dipolar droplets that reveals the onset of liquid-gas phase transition as well as showing the emergence of a self-bound gas-phase dominated by the squeezed condensate.

Self-bound dipolar droplets and supersolids in molecular Bose-Einstein condensates

Matthias Schmidt, Lucas Lassablière, Goulven Quéméner +1 more

We numerically study the many-body physics of molecular Bose-Einstein condensates with strong dipole-dipole interactions. We observe the formation of self-bound droplets, and explore phase diagrams that feature a variety of exotic supersolid states. In all of these cases, the large and tunable molecular dipole moments enable the study of unexplored regimes and phenomena, including liquidlike density saturation and universal stability scaling laws for droplets, as well as pattern formation and the limits of droplet supersolidity. We discuss a realistic experimental approach to realize both the required collisional stability of the molecular gases and the independent tunability of their contact and dipolar interaction strengths. Our work provides both a blueprint and a benchmark for near-future experiments with bulk molecular Bose-Einstein condensates.

Ground-state properties and elementary excitations of quantum droplets in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates

F. Wächtler, Luis Santos

The ground state of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) is studied in the regimes of three different phases, where a characteristic growth of the peak density of the BEC is predicted when the dipolar quantum droplets are formed.

Quantum phases of self-bound droplets of Bose-Bose mixtures

Junqiao Pan, Su Yi, Tao Shi

We systematically investigate the ground-state properties of self-bound droplets of quasi-two-dimensional binary Bose gases by using the Gaussian state theory. We find that quantum droplets consists of two macroscopic squeezed phases and a macroscopic coherent phase. We map out the phase diagram and determine all phase boundaries via both numerical and nearly analytical methods. In particular, we find three easily accessible signatures for the quantum phases and the stabilization mechanism of the self-bound droplets by precisely measuring their radial size. Our studies indicate that binary droplets represent an ideal platform for in-depth investigations of the quantum nature of the droplet state.

Self-bound dipolar droplet: A localized matter wave in free space

D. Baillie, Ryan Wilson, R. N. Bisset +1 more

A liquid droplet is a self-bound phase of matter that holds itself together in the absence of a container. Without a container a gas will normally expand to fill space. A method is proposed to produce a self-bound dilute quantum gaseous dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate.

Self-bound droplets in quasi-two-dimensional dipolar condensates

Yuqi Wang, Tao Shi, Su Yi

We study the ground-state properties of self-bound dipolar droplets in quasi-two-dimensional geometry by using the Gaussian state theory. We show that there exist two quantum phases corresponding to the macroscopic squeezed vacuum and squeezed coherent states. We further show that the radial size versus atom number curve exhibits a double-dip structure, as a result of the multiple quantum phases. In particular, we find that the critical atom number for the self-bound droplets is determined by the quantum phases, which allows us to distinguish the quantum state and validates the Gaussian state theory.
