Mixed bubbles in a binary mixture of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates

In mean-field theory, the ground state of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a uniform system is either uniformly mixed or totally separated. Beyond-mean-field effects introduce an additional phase, the mixed-bubble state, in which the two components remain mixed within one of the separated domains. Here we show that a mixed-bubble state can emerge in a binary mixture of spin-1 ${}^{7}{\rm{Li}}$ and ${}^{23}{\rm{Na}}$ BECs even within the mean-field framework. We further demonstrate the existence of a metastable uniformly-mixed state, which undergoes a transition to the mixed-bubble state triggered by a local perturbation.

Phase separation and metastability in a mixture of spin-1 and spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate the ground state and dynamics of a mixture of spin-1 and spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates of ${}^{87}{\rm{Rb}}$ atoms. For the experimentally measured interaction coefficients, the ground state exhibits phase separation between the spin-1 ferromagnetic state and the spin-2 nematic state. At the interface between them, a partially polarized spin state emerges. The uniformly mixed state of the spin-1 polar state and spin-2 biaxial nematic state is metastable, and the phase separation via nucleation can be triggered by a local perturbation.

Long lifetime supersolid in a two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

Recent studies on supersolidity in a single-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) have relied on the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) correction for stabilization of self-bound droplets, which however involves a high density inside the droplets, limiting the lifetime of the supersolid. Here we propose a two-component mixture of dipolar and nondipolar BECs, such as an $^{166}$Er-$^{87}$Rb mixture, to create and stabilize a supersolid without the LHY correction, which can suppress the atomic loss and may allow observation of the long-time dynamics of the supersolid. In such a system, supersolidity can be controlled by the difference in the trap centers between the two components.
