Wetting of quantum fluids: a route to free-standing shell-shaped quantum droplets
Francesco Ancilotto
We investigate wetting phenomena between self-bound quantum fluids in a three-component Bose mixture of Na, K, and K atoms. Within a density-functional approac…
Quantum diatomic chain: a supersolid structure in three-component Bose mixture
Francesco Ancilotto
The formation and properties of a supersolid structure in a three-component ultracold Bose gas mixture at T=0 are investigated theoretically. The system consists of 23Na, 39K, and…
Suppression of capillary instability in a confined quantum liquid filament
Francesco Ancilotto, Michele Modugno, Chiara Fort
Quantum Bose-Bose mixtures with strong attraction can form self-bound, liquid-like droplets stabilized by quantum fluctuations. Despite equilibrium densities much lower than those…
Comment on "Shell-Shaped Quantum Droplet in a Three-Component Ultracold Bose Gas"
Francesco Ancilotto
In a recent paper (Y. Ma and X. Cui, Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 043402 (2025)), a new type of shell-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate with a self-bound character has been proposed, made o…
Dynamical formation of multiple quantum droplets in a Bose-Bose mixture
L. Cavicchioli, C. Fort, F. Ancilotto +3
We report on the formation of multiple quantum droplets in a heteronuclear K-Rb mixture released in an optical waveguide. By a sudden change of the interspecies inter…
Borophane as substrate for adsorption of He-4: A journey across dimensionality
Stefania De Palo, Saverio Moroni, Francesco Ancilotto +2
In search of substrates for adsorption of He atoms allowing for novel quantum phases in restricted geometry we study the case of borophane. We focus on two allotropes of borophane,…
Controlling quantum vortex dynamics and vortex-antivortex annihilation in Bose-Einstein condensates with optical lattices
Francesco Ancilotto, Luciano Reatto
Superfluids with strong spatial modulation can be experimentally produced in the area of cold atoms under the influence of optical lattices. Here we address Rb bosons at T=0…
Dilute quantum liquid in a K-Rb Bose mixture
Viktor Cikojević, Elena Poli, Francesco Ancilotto +2
A quantum liquid in a heterogeneous mixture of K and Rb atoms is studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and Density Functional Theory. The perturbative Lee-Hu…
Effective expression of the Lee-Huang-Yang energy functional for heteronuclear mixtures
F. Minardi, F. Ancilotto, A. Burchianti +3
We consider a homogeneous heteronuclear Bose mixture with contact interactions at the mean-field collapse, i.e. with interspecies attraction equal to the mean geometrical intraspec…
