Dipolar droplets
Danny Baillie (University of Otago, New Zealand)
Experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates of dysprosium [1] and erbium [2] atoms have observed the formation of dilute quantum gas droplets that can preserve their form, even in the absence of any external confinement [3]. These droplets are stabilized by Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) quantum fluctuation corrections to meanfield theory [4]. We discuss the regimes in which such self-bound droplet states are stable [5], and examine the properties of their collective excitations. Notably we observe that the elongated filament-shaped droplets act as a quasi-one-dimensional waveguide along which low angular momentum phonons propagate [6].
