| Summary: | We investigate a Bose-Bose mixture across the miscible-immiscible phase transition governed by quantum fluctuations in one dimension. We find the recently predicted so-called mixed bubbles as ground states close to the mean-field miscible-immiscible threshold. These bubbles form a pocket of miscibility, separated by one of the components. The collective excitations reflect the symmetry breaking resulting from the bubble formation. The partial miscibility of the system allows for persistent currents in an annular confinement. Intriguingly, the mixed bubble acts like an intrinsic weak link, connecting the rotational behavior of the mixed bubble state to current efforts in atomtronic applications.
