Investigation of Quantum Droplets: An Analytical Approach

Abstract Recent observations of droplets in dipolar and binary Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) gives motivation to study the theory of droplet formation in detail. Specifically, the authors are interested in investigating the possibility of droplet formation in a quasi‐1D geometry. Recent observations have suggested that droplets are stabilized by competition between effective mean‐field and beyond mean‐field interaction. Hence, it is possible to map the effective equation of motion to a cubic‐quartic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLSE). Two analytical solutions of the modified Gross–Pitaevskii equation or CQNLSE are obtained and they are verified numerically. Based on their stability, the parameter regime for which droplets can form is investigated. The effective potential allows for conclusions about the regions of soliton domination and self‐bound droplet formations.
