Engineering quantum droplet formation by cavity-induced long-range interactions
arXiv:2409.18215 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.7.023204
Abstract
We investigate a dilute Bose gas with both a short-range contact and an effective long-range interaction between the atoms. The latter is induced by the strong coupling to a cavity light mode and is spatially characterized by a periodic signature and a tunable envelope rooted in the pumping of the cavity. We formulate a Bogoliubov theory based on a homogeneous mean-field description and quantum fluctuations around it. The competition between the repulsive contact interaction and the long-range interaction allows the formation of self-bound quantum droplets. This generic approach is applied to two cavity setups, one without and one with a momentum-conserving effective long-range interaction between the atoms in the form of a driven dispersive cavity mode and a multimode cavity, respectively. For both cases we show analytically how the size and the central density of the cavity-induced quantum droplets depend on the contact interaction strength and on the shape of the spatial envelope of the long-range interaction.
