Self-Evaporation Dynamics of Quantum Droplets in a 41K-87Rb Mixture

Chiara Fort, Michele Modugno

Applied Sciences· Volume 11· Issue 2

Abstract

We theoretically investigate the self-evaporation dynamics of quantum droplets in a 41K-87Rb mixture, in free-space. The dynamical formation of the droplet and the effects related to the presence of three-body losses are analyzed by means of numerical simulations. We identify a regime of parameters allowing for the observation of the droplet self-evaporation in a feasible experimental setup.
