Quantum Bubbles

Ultracold quantum gases confined in curved geometries are promising systems to explore new physics of many-body quantum systems on shell structures such as Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, vortex dynamics. Recent, pioneering experiments realizing quantum bubbles with RF-decoupled condensed atoms demonstrated the experimental possibility to access these non-trivial topologies. In this Special Topic Collection of AVS Quantum Science, we welcome theoretical and experimental contributions promoting the possibilities and challenges in this new field. Original research as well as perspective and method articles are welcome.
