Abstract Progress in understanding quantum systems has been driven by the exploration of geometry, topology, and dimensionality ultracold atomic systems. The NASA Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) aboard International Space Station enabled study bubbles, a terrestrially-inaccessible topology. Proof-of-principle bubble experiments have performed on CAL with an radiofrequency-dressing technique; alternate technique (dual-species interaction-driven bubbles) also proposed. Both techniques can drive...

The recent developments of microgravity experiments with ultracold atoms have produced a relevant boost in the study shell-shaped ellipsoidal Bose-Einstein condensates. For realistic bubble-trap parameters, here we calculate critical temperature condensation, which, if compared to one bare harmonic trap same frequencies, shows strong reduction. We simulate zero-temperature density distribution Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and free expansion hollow condensate. While part expands outward...

Ultracold quantum gases are highly controllable and thus capable of simulating difficult many-body problems ranging from condensed matter physics to astrophysics. Although experimental realizations have so far been restricted flat geometries, recently also curved systems, with the prospect exploring tunable produced in microgravity facilities as ground-based experiments technically limited. Here, we analyze bubble-trapped condensates, which atoms confined on surface a thin spherically...

Recent experimental and theoretical results show that weakly interacting atomic Bose-Bose mixtures with attractive interspecies interaction are stabilized by beyond-mean-field effects. Here we consider the peculiar properties of these systems in a strictly one-dimensional configuration, taking also into account nontrivial role spin-orbit Rabi couplings. We when value inter- intraspecies strengths such mean-field contributions to energy cancel, self-bound bright soliton fully governed quantum...

We consider the problem of $N$ identical fermions interacting via a zero-range attractive potential with lighter atom in one dimension. Using few-body approach based on Skorniakov and Ter-Martirosian equation, we determine energies critical mass ratios for emergence tetramer, pentamer, hexamer. For large $N$, solve analytically by using mean-field theory Thomas-Fermi approximation. The system becomes bound when heavy-to-light ratio exceeds value, which grows as ${N}^{3}$ at $N$. also employ...

We investigate an ultracold and dilute Bose gas by taking into account a finite-range two-body interaction. The coupling constants of the resulting Lagrangian density are related to measurable scattering parameters following effective-field-theory approach. A perturbative scheme is then developed up Gaussian level, where both quantum thermal fluctuations crucially affected corrections. In particular, relation between spontaneous symmetry breaking onset superfluidity emphasized recovering...

We derive the two-dimensional equation of state for a bosonic system ultracold atoms interacting with finite-range effective interaction. Within functional integration approach, we employ an hydrodynamic parametrization field to calculate superfluid equations motion and zero-temperature pressure. The ultraviolet divergences, naturally arising from interaction, are regularized improved dimensional regularization technique.

We study binding of $N$ identical heavy fermions by a light atom in two dimensions assuming zero-range attractive heavy-light interactions. By using the mean-field theory valid for large we show that $N+1$ cluster is bound when mass ratio exceeds $1.074N^2$. The theory, being scale invariant dimensions, predicts only shapes clusters leaving their sizes and energies undefined. taking into account beyond-mean-field effects find closed-form expressions these quantities. also discuss differences...
