| Popis: | We explore ultradilute Bose-Bose liquid droplets squeezed by an external harmonic potential in one spatial direction. Our theoretical study is based on a functional that is built using quantum Monte Carlo results of the bulk phase and incorporates finite-range effects. A characteristic feature of these drops is the existence of a critical atom number, that is the minimum number of particles to have a many-body bound state. We report results on the critical atom numbers for different magnetic fields and applying confinement strengths towards a quasi-two-dimensional setup. In the regime where the local density approximation is expected to be valid, we find that the critical atom number decreases linearly with the harmonic oscillator length of the confining potential. With the largest squeezing explored in our work, we predict stable drops at the level of one thousand atoms. Our functional reduces the critical numbers for any confinement and applied magnetic field with respect to the estimations based on the Lee-Huang-Yang model. We observe saturated drops when the number of atoms in the drop is much larger than the critical value, their central density being higher for the quantum Monte Carlo functional than for the Lee-Huang-Yang one.
