Collisions of self-bound quantum droplets
arXiv:1812.09151 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.090401
Abstract
We report on the study of binary collisions between quantum droplets formed by an attractive mixture of ultracold atoms. We distinguish two main outcomes of the collision, i.e. merging and separation, depending on the velocity of the colliding pair. The critical velocity that discriminates between the two cases displays a different dependence on the atom number for small and large droplets. By comparing our experimental results with numerical simulations, we show that the non-monotonic behavior of is due to the crossover from a compressible to an incompressible regime, where the collisional dynamics is governed by different energy scales, i.e. the droplet binding energy and the surface tension. These results also provide the first evidence of the liquid-like nature of quantum droplets in the large limit, where their behavior closely resembles that of classical liquid droplets.
