Not just a droplet: Explaining one dimensional quantum liquid formation
22 Jan 2021 Share: A new type of quantum droplet - the most dilute liquids ever experimentally observed - helps unravel the mechanism leading to the formation of one dimensional self-bound quantum liquids in free space. Researchers present a microscopic theory of lattice quantum droplets. Image: One dimensional quantum lattice liquids. Credit: I. Morera et al. Phys. Rev. Lett Liquids are ubiquitous in Nature: from the water that we consume daily to superfluid helium which is a quantum liquid appearing at temperatures as low as only a few degrees above the absolute zero. A common feat...
