| Outline of Research at the Start |
Fluids in everyday life are viscous - there is some resistance to their flow. However the world of atoms is quite different, as they can move without resistance - a property called superfluidity. This research aims to understand superfluids interacting with small numbers of extra impurity atoms.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Quantum liquid states of matter have been realized in experiments with ultracold Bose gases. We identify the criteria for the existence of dark solitons in beyond-mean-field binary condensates, revealing how these excitations exist for both repulsive and attractive interactions, the latter leading to dark quantum droplets with properties intermediate between a dark soliton and quantum droplet. The phenomenology of these excitations is explored within the full parameter space of the model, revealing a spatial profile of the excitation that differs from the Zakharov-Shabat soliton, leading to a negative effective mass enhanced in the presence of the quantum fluctuations. The dynamics of pairs of excitations shows nonintegrable dynamics and dark soliton bound states in the attractive regime.
