Comment on "Absence of a consistent classical equation of motion for a mass-renormalized point charge"

Here we comment on the paper by Arthur D. Yaghjian, Phys. Rev. E 78, 046606 (2008) (arXiv:0805.0142). The author provides an equation of motion for a point charged particle in a certain regime of system parameters (on the other hand, claiming that in a different regime the classical equation of motion does not exist). The solutions of this equation (in the regime where it exists) presented in the paper show instantaneous jumps in the particle's velocity. We show that such jumps, in the case of a point particle, would generate infinite energy in the radiated electromagnetic field. Therefore, we claim that the point-particle limit used by the author is incorrect.

Dipolar Droplets at 3D-1D Crossover

We investigate beyond-mean-field corrections to the energy of an elongated homogeneous Bose gas strongly confined in two directions, with dipoles aligned along the long axis of the system. When the dipolar interaction reaches its critical strength, the mean-field approach predicts instability. However, similar to the free-space case, beyond-mean-field effects significantly alter the ground state of the system, leading to the formation of a self-bound atomic cloud known as a quantum droplet. Our analysis demonstrates that the beyond-mean-field contribution to the energy in the quasi-1D region, in addition to the confinement induced shift of the mean field energy, is proportional to the third power of the density $\sim n^3$. Therefore, it can be interpreted as an effective three-body repulsion that stabilizes the gas, preventing collapse and leading to a finite-density solution. We also show that the same effect plays a crucial role in the binding of strongly elongated dipolar droplets under harmonic confinement.

Self-consistent Description of Bose-Bose Droplets: Modified Gapless Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Method

We define a formalism of a self-consistent description of the ground state of a weakly interacting Bose system, accounting for higher order terms in expansion of energy in the diluteness parameter. The approach is designed to be applied to a Bose-Bose mixture in a regime of weak collapse where quantum fluctuations lead to stabilization of the system and formation of quantum liquid droplets. The approach is based on the Generalized Gross -- Pitaevskii equation accounting for quantum depletion and anomalous density terms. The equation is self-consistently coupled to modified Bogoliubov equations. The modification we introduce resolves the longstanding issue of missing phonon-branch excitations when higher order terms are included. Our method ensures a gapless phononic low-energy excitation spectrum, crucial to correctly account for quantum fluctuations. We pay particular attention to the case of droplets harmonically confined in some directions. The method allows to determine the Lee-Huang-Yang-type contribution to the chemical potential of inhomogeneous droplets when the local density approximation fails.

Self-consistent Description of Bose-Bose Droplets: Harmonically Trapped Quasi-2D Droplets

We describe a quantum droplet of a Bose-Bose mixture squeezed by an external harmonic forces in one spatial direction. Our approach is based on the self-consistent method formulated in [1]. The true spatial droplet profile in the direction of confinement is accounted for, however local density approximation is assumed in the free directions. We define a numerical approach to find the beyond-mean-field contribution to the chemical potential (Lee-Huang-Yang chemical potential) -- the quantity that determines the droplet's profile. In addition to the numerical approach, we find the Lee-Huang-Yang potential in the analytic form in two limiting cases: a perturbative result for a strong confinement and a semiclassical expression when confinement is very weak.

Zero-energy modes of two-component Bose-Bose droplets

Bose-Bose droplets are self-bound objects emerging from a mixture of two interacting Bose-Einstein condensates when their interactions are appropriately tuned. During droplet formation three continuous symmetries of the system's Hamiltonian are broken: translational symmetry and two U1 symmetries, allowing for arbitrary choice of phases of the mean-field wavefunctions describing the two components. Breaking of these symmetries must be accompanied by appearance of zero-energy excitations in the energy spectrum of the system recovering the broken symmetries. Normal modes corresponding to these excitations are the zero-energy modes. Here we find analytic expressions for these modes and introduce Hamitonians generating their time evolution -- dynamics of the droplet's centers of mass as well as dynamics of the phases of the two droplet's wavefunctions. When internal types of excitations (quasiparticles) are neglected then the very complex system of a quantum droplet is described using only few "global" degrees of freedom - the position of the center of mass of the droplet and two phases of two wave-functions, all these being quantum operators. This gives the possibility of describing in a relatively easy way processes of interaction of these quantum droplets, such as collisions.

Revisiting a stability problem of two-component droplets

We study the problem of the stability of a two-component droplet. The standard solution known from the literature is based on a particular form of the mean field energy functional, in particular on distinction of hard mode and soft mode contributions. By imposing the constraint on densities of the two species which minimizes the hard mode energy, the problem is reduced to a stability analysis of a one component system. As opposed to this, we address the issue in full generality. Our analysis is valid for arbitrary forms of energy density. We formulate constraints which correspond to the physically relevant situation of a system which has unconstrained volume and may evaporate particles. For the specific case of a two component Bose-Bose droplet we find approximate analytic solutions and compare them to the standard result. We show that the densities of both components of a stable droplet are limited to a range depending on interaction strength, in contrast to the original unique solution.

Self-bound Bose-Fermi liquids in lower dimensions

We study weakly interacting mixtures of ultracold atoms composed of bosonic and fermionic species in 2D and 1D. When interactions between particles are appropriately tuned, self-bound quantum liquids can be formed. We show that while formation of these droplets in 2D is due to the higher order correction terms contributing to the total energy and originating in quantum fluctuations, in 1D geometry the quantum fluctuations have a negligible role on formation of the self-bound systems. The leading mean-field interactions are then sufficient for droplet formation in 1D. We analyse stability conditions for 2D and 1D systems and predict values of equilibrium densities of droplets.

The influence of the interaction between quasiparticles on parametric resonance in Bose-Einstein quasicondensates

We perform a simulation of the experiment [1] where the temporal modification of the effective one dimensional interaction constant was used to create pairs of atoms with opposite velocities. The simulations clearly demonstrate huge impact of interaction between quasiparticles due to finite temperature on the pair production process, explaining relatively small atom pair production and the absence of the number squeezing in the experiment.
