An impurity in a heteronuclear two-component Bose mixture

arXiv:2109.07451 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.023301

Abstract

We study the fate of an impurity in an ultracold heteronuclear Bose mixture, focusing on the experimentally relevant case of a K-Rb mixture, with the impurity in a K hyperfine state. Our work provides a comprehensive description of an impurity in a BEC mixture with contact interactions across its phase diagram. We present results for the miscible and immiscible regimes, as well as for the impurity in a self-bound quantum droplet. Here, varying the interactions, we find novel, exotic states where the impurity localizes either at the center or at the surface of the droplet.
