Observation of quantum droplets in a heteronuclear bosonic mixture

We report on the formation of heteronuclear quantum droplets in an attractive bosonic mixture of ^{41}K and ^{87}Rb. We observe long-lived self-bound states, both in free space and in an optical waveguide. In the latter case, the dynamics under the effect of a species-dependent force confirms their...
