Dipolar quantum droplets are exotic quantum objects that are self-bound due to the subtle balance of attraction, repulsion and quantum correlations. Here we present a systematic study of the critical atom number of these self-bound droplets, comparing the experimental results with extended mean-feld Gross-Pitaevskii equation (eGPE) and quantum Monte-Carlo simulations of the dilute system. The respective theoretical predictions differ and we show that the experiment supports the quantum Monte…

Self-Bound Doubly Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates.

By varying the angle between the two dipoles, a dimensional crossover from quasi-one-dimensional to quasi-two-dimensional self-bound droplets is found, which opens a so far unique scenario in condensate physics, in which adimensional crossover is solely driven by interactions in the absence of any confinement.
