Self-bound dipolar droplet: a localized matter-wave in free space

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We demonstrate that a dipolar condensate can be prepared into a three-dimensional wavepacket that remains localized when released in free-space. Such self-bound states arise from the interplay of the two-body interactions and quantum fluctuations. We develop a phase diagram for the parameter regimes where these self-bound states are stable, examine their properties, and demonstrate how they can be produced in current experiments.
