Droplet formation in ultracold dipolar molecules!

Jul 21, 2025

Our latest preprint is out - we report the first observation of self-bound droplets and droplet arrays in a degenerate gas of dipolar ground state molecules. We demonstrate versatile control of dipolar interactions  and observe a phase diagram of droplet formation. The droplets reach densities up to 100 times higher than the BEC, entering the strongly interacting regime, and suggesting the possibility of new quantum-liquid and crystalline phases. Thank you to the entire NaCs team - past and present members - on the monumental work that enabled these observations! https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.15208
