Front-based construction of quantum droplets, bubbles, and hole states in a Bose mixture

We study nonlinear holes, bubbles, kink fronts, and quantum-droplet-like states in an elongated Bose mixture governed by an extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation with attractive cubic mean-field interactions and repulsive quartic Lee-Huang-Yang contribution. We classify the constant-amplitude backgrounds: the Bogoliubov-de Gennes spectrum shows that the upper branch is modulationally stable, whereas the lower branch is unstable to long-wavelength perturbations. Grand-potential and pressure determine the vacuum-finite-density coexistence point and the unique background supporting stationary kink and antikink fronts. Symmetric holes on the stable background have a density deficit and integral width that diverge near coexistence as the hole separates into two nonlinear fronts. A multiplicative kink-antikink construction connects bell-shaped states to broad flat-top droplets and approaches the stationary quantum-droplet family as the front separation increases. An antikink-kink sum with equal signs generates bubble-like density depletions without a phase jump, whereas their difference produces dark-hole-like profiles with a $π$ phase difference between the asymptotic backgrounds. Bubble depth increases with front separation, distinguishing gray-like and dark-like profiles. Real-time simulations show that deep bubbles persist under weak random perturbations, demonstrating finite-time robustness without establishing spectral stability. In the asymmetric two-component model, localized relative-density modes can induce spinor-driven breakup on a modulationally stable background, while robust holes persist near the kink limit. Collisions of kink-antikink droplet-like states display phase-dependent merging, asymmetric particle transfer, and effective reflection. These results connect nonlinear fronts with bubbles, phase-jump holes, and self-bound droplets in beyond-mean-field Bose mixtures.

Quantum scattering of droplets by wells and barriers in one-dimensional Bose-Bose mixtures

We investigate, both analytically and numerically, the scattering of quasi-one-dimensional quantum droplets from Pöschl-Teller potential wells and barriers. For attractive wells, we find a sharp transition between complete reflection and transmission at a critical incident velocity for both small and large flat-top droplets. The scattering interactions differ: small, soliton-like droplets form a spatially symmetric trapped mode at the critical velocity, showing their compressibility and coherence characteristics, while large droplets develop a spatially asymmetric trapped state, revealing incompressibility and internal structure. The critical velocity depends non-monotonically on atom number: it rises in the small, compressible-droplet regime, falls in the incompressible, flat-top regime, and turns at the crossover point. We also show that the reflectionless well generates a $π$-phase shift, strongly altering droplet-droplet collisions relative to free space. The persistence of a confined mode after collisions between trapped and incident droplets depends sensitively on their relative phase. For the repulsive barrier, we identify regimes of complete reflection, partial return, and full transmission, depending on incident velocity, barrier height, and particle number. Our predictions match direct numerical simulations in all cases.

Josephson Dynamics of 2D Bose-Einstein Condensates in Dual-Core Trap: Homogeneous, Droplet-Droplet, and Vortex-Vortex Regimes

The dynamics of a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate mixture, loaded into a dual-core trap, when beyond-mean-field effects are taken into account, are considered. The effects of quantum fluctuations are described by the Lee-Huang-Yang correction terms in the extended coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The spatially uniform and inhomogeneous BEC cases are studied. In the first case, the parameter regimes associated with macroscopic quantum tunnelling, self-trapping, and revival-like localisation dynamics are found. The Josephson oscillation frequencies for both the zero-phase and the $π$-phase modes are derived. As the total atom number varies, the dynamics exhibit a nontrivial bifurcation structure: along the zero-phase branch, two pitchfork bifurcations generate bistability and hysteresis, while the $π$-phase branch shows a single pitchfork bifurcation. In the second case, the Josephson dynamics for quantum droplets and vortices are investigated. Predictions for the oscillation frequencies of the atomic population between quantum droplets are obtained and fully validated by direct numerical simulations of coupled extended GP equations. The existence of the Andreev-Bashkin nondissipative drag through simulations of droplet-droplet interactions is shown. The Josephson dynamics of vortex states are studied. Vortices with topological charge $S$ and sufficiently small particle number are typically unstable, breaking up into $S+1$ (occasionally $S+2$) fundamental fragments, with the breakup time increasing as the particle number grows. Unstable asymmetric vortices show splitting and/or crescent-like instability. For vortices with sufficiently large norms, long-time simulations confirm robust stability against small perturbations; in this regime, Josephson oscillations and Andreev-Bashkin-type entrainment for vortex states with charges $S=1, 2$, and $3$ are investigated.

Modulational instability and discrete quantum droplets in a deep quasi-one-dimensional optical lattice

We study the properties of modulational instability and discrete breathers arising in a quasi-one-dimensional discrete Gross-Pitaevskii equation with Lee-Huang-Yang corrections. Conditions for modulation instability and instability regions of nonlinear plane waves are determined in parameter space. We analytically investigate the existence of different quantum droplet solutions, including intersite, onsite, front-like, flat-top and dark localized modes, using the Page method and variational approach. Their stability is checked using linear stability analyses and numerical simulations. The analytical predictions corroborated with the numerical simulations.

Beyond mean-field effects in Josephson oscillations and self-trapping of Bose-Einstein condensates in two-dimensional dual-core traps

We study a binary Bose gas in a symmetric dual-core, pancake-shaped trap, modelled by two linearly coupled two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equations with Lee-Huang-Yang corrections. Two different cases are considered. First, we consider a spatially uniform condensate, where we identify the domains of parameters for macroscopic quantum tunnelling, self-trapping and localisation revivals. The analytical formulas for the Josephson frequencies in the zero- and $π$-phase modes are derived. As the total atom number varies, the system displays a rich bifurcation structure. In the zero-phase, two successive pitchfork bifurcations generate bistability and hysteresis, while the $π$-phase exhibits a single pitchfork bifurcation. The second case is when the quantum droplets are in a dual-core trap. Analytical predictions for the oscillation frequencies are derived via a variational approach for the coupled dynamics of quantum droplets, and direct numerical simulations validate the results. We identify critical values of the linear coupling that separate Josephson and self-trapped regimes as the particle number changes. We also found the Andreev-Bashkin superfluid drag effect in numerical simulations of the droplet-droplet interactions in the two-core geometry.

Dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional quantum droplets in Bose-Bose mixtures

The properties of quasi-one-dimensional quantum droplets of Bose-Einstein condensates are investigated analytically and numerically, taking into account the contribution of quantum fluctuations. Through the development of a variational approach employing the super-Gaussian function, we identify stationary parameters for the quantum droplets. The frequency of breathing mode oscillations in these quantum droplets is estimated. Moreover, the study reveals that periodic modulation in time of the atomic scattering length induces resonance oscillations in quantum droplet parameters or the emission of linear waves, contingent on the amplitude of the external modulation. A similar analysis is conducted for the Lee-Huang-Yang fluid, confined in a parabolic potential. Theoretical predictions are corroborated through direct numerical simulations of the governing extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Additionally, we study the collision dynamics of quasi-one-dimensional quantum droplets.

Modulational instability in a quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

In this work, we investigate the modulational instability of plane wave solutions within a modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation framework. The equation features cubic and quartic nonlinearity. It models the behaviour of quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in symmetric Bose-Bose mixtures of ultra-dilute cold atoms. Our study demonstrates the pivotal role of the competition between mean-field attractions and quantum fluctuation-induced repulsions. This competition significantly affects the emergence and evolution of modulational instability. By employing linear stability analysis, we identify the essential conditions that lead to modulational instability. We find that the stability of plane wave solutions significantly depends on the interaction among system parameters. Further development of the instability leads to the fragmentation of the BEC into a chain of quantum droplets. We calculated the quantity of quantum droplets generated during the nonlinear phase of the instability. Our analytical results are corroborated by numerical simulations of the modified quasi-1D Gross-Pitaevskii equation. These simulations vividly depict the formation, interaction, and coalescence of droplets during the nonlinear phase of modulational instability. The investigation shows that linear stability analysis of the modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation, considering quantum fluctuations, precisely forecasts modulational instability phenomena across different domains of parameter spaces.

Quantum droplets in three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

The properties of 3D Bose-Einstein condensate have been studied with variational and numerical methods. In the variational approach, we use the super-Gaussian trial function, and it is demonstrated that this trial function gives a good approach for the descriptions of the quantum droplets. The analytical equations for the variational parameters are obtained. The frequency of small oscillations of quantum droplets near the equilibrium position is estimated. It is also found that periodic modulation of the coupling constants leads to the resonance oscillations of the quantum droplets parameters or emission of waves depending on the amplitude of the modulations. The predictions are supported by direct numerical simulation of governing equation.

Modulational instability and quantum droplets in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate

Modulational instability of a uniform two-dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the presence of quantum fluctuations is studied. The analysis is based on the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. It is shown that quantum fluctuations can induce instability when the BEC density is below a threshold. The dependence of the growth rate of modulations on the BEC parameters is found. It is observed that an asymmetry of the interaction parameters and/or initial densities of the components typically decreases the growth rate. Further development of the instability results in a break-up of the BEC into a set of quantum droplets. These droplets merge dynamically with each other so that the total number of droplets decreases rapidly. The rate of this decrease is evaluated numerically for different initial parameters.

The variational approximation for two-dimensional quantum droplets

The dynamics of a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate in a presence of quantum fluctuations is studied. The properties of localized density distributions, quantum droplets (QDs), are analyzed by means of the variational approach. It is demonstrated that the super-Gaussian function gives a good approximation for profiles of fundamental QDs and droplets with non-zero vorticity. The dynamical equations for parameters of QDs are obtained. Fixed points of these equations determine the parameters of stationary QDs. The period of small oscillations of QDs near the stationary state is estimated. It is obtained that periodic modulations of the strength of quantum fluctuations can actuate different processes, including resonance oscillations of the QD parameters, an emission of waves and a splitting of QDs into smaller droplets.

Stationary and dynamical properties of one-dimensional quantum droplets

The dynamics of quantum droplets in 1D is analyzed on the basis of the variational approach (VA). It is shown that the VA based on the super-Gaussian function gives a good approximation of stationary states. The period of small oscillations of the perturbed droplet is obtained. It is found numerically that oscillations are almost undamped for many periods. Based on the VA, an existence of stable localized states for different combinations of signs of nonlinearities is demonstrated.
