Solitary waves in a quantum droplet-bearing system (2302.07767v3)

Abstract: We unravel the existence and stability properties of dark soliton solutions as they extend from the regime of trapped quantum droplets towards the Thomas-Fermi limit in homonuclear symmetric Bose mixtures. Leveraging a phase-plane analysis, we identify the regimes of existence of different types of quantum droplets and subsequently examine the possibility of black and gray solitons and kink-type structures in this system. Moreover, we employ the Landau dynamics approach to extract an analytical estimate of the oscillation frequency of a single dark soliton in the relevant extended Gross-Pitaevskii model. Within this framework, we also find that the single soliton immersed in a droplet is stable, while multisoliton configurations exhibit parametric windows of oscillatory instabilities. Our results pave the way for studying dynamical features of nonlinear multisoliton excitations in a droplet environment in contemporary experimental settings.
