Abstract: (APS)

According to the mean-field theory a condensed Bose-Bose mixture collapses when the interspecies attraction becomes stronger than the geometrical average of the intraspecies repulsions, {g}_{12}^{2}>{g}_{11}{g}_{22}. We show that instead of collapsing such a mixture gets into a dilute liquidlike droplet state stabilized by quantum fluctuations thus providing a direct manifestation of beyond mean-field effects. We study various properties of the droplet and find, in particular, that in a wide range of parameters its excitation spectrum lies entirely above the particle emission threshold. The droplet thus automatically evaporates itself to zero temperature, the property potentially interesting by itself and from the viewpoint of sympathetic cooling of other systems.

see also Ref. [18]. Neglecting boundary effects the result is the so-called modified GP equation with cubic and quartic nonlinearities, which are, in contrast to those in Eq. (10), both positive, and the quartic term should necessarily be subleading
