Rotating Multidimensional Quantum Droplets

We predict a new type of two- and three-dimensional stable quantum droplets persistently rotating in broad external two-dimensional and weakly anharmonic potential. Their evolution is described by the system of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations with Lee-Huang-Yang quantum corrections. Such droplets resemble whispering-gallery modes localized in the polar direction due to nonlinear interactions and, depending on their chemical potential and rotation frequency, they appear in rich variety of shapes, ranging from nearly flat-top or strongly localized rotating wave packets, to crescentlike objects extending nearly over the entire range of polar angles. Above critical rotation frequency quantum droplets transform into vortex droplets (in two dimensions) or vortex tori (in three dimensions), whose topological charge gradually increase with the increase of the modulus of chemical potential, and therefore they belong to the family of nonlinear modes connecting fundamental and vortex quantum droplets. Rotating quantum droplets are exceptionally robust objects, stable practically in the entire range of their existence.
