We perform a full three-dimensional study on miscible-immiscible conditions for coupled dipolar and non-dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), confined in anisotropic traps. In view of recent experimental studies, our focus was the atomic erbium-dysprosium (168 Er-164 Dy) and dysprosiumdysprosium (164 Dy-162 Dy) mixtures. The miscibility is quantified by the overlap of the twocomponent densities, using an appropriate defined parameter. By verifying that stable regimes for pure-dipolar coupled BECs are only possible in pancake-type traps, we obtain some non-trivial local minimum biconcave-shaped states with density oscillations in both components. For non-dipolar systems with repulsive interactions, we show that immiscible stable configurations are also possible in cigar-type geometries. The main role of the trap aspect ratio and inter-species contact interaction for the miscibility is verified for different configurations, from non-dipolar to pure dipolar systems.

The momentum-space structure of the Faddeev-Yakubovsky (FY) components of weakly bound tetramers is investigated at the unitary limit using a renormalized zero-range two-body interaction. The results, obtained by considering a given trimer level with binding energy $B_3$, provide further support to a universal scaling function relating the binding energies of two successive tetramer states. The correlated scaling between the tetramer energies comes from the sensitivity of the four-boson system to a short-range four-body scale. Each excited $N$th tetramer energy $B_4^{\left(N\right)}$ moves as the short-range four-body scale changes, while the trimer properties are kept fixed, with the next excited tetramer $B_4^{(N+1)}$ emerging from the atom-trimer threshold for a universal ratio $B_4^{\left(N\right)}/B_3=B_4^{\left(N\right)}/B_4^{(N+1)}\simeq 4.6$, which does not depend on $N$. We show that both channels of the FY decomposition [atom-trimer ($K$ type) and dimer-dimer ($H$ type)] present high-momentum tails that reflect the short-range four-body scale. We also found that the $H$ channel is favored over the $K$ channel at low momentum, when the four-body momentum scale largely overcomes the three-body scale.

The trajectory of the first excited Efimov state is investigated by using a renormalized zero-range three-body model for a system with two bound and one virtual two-body subsystems. The approach is applied to n–n–¹⁸C, where the $n\text{–}n$ virtual energy and the three-body ground state are kept fixed. It is shown that such three-body excited state goes from a bound to a virtual state when the n–¹⁸C binding energy is increased. Results obtained for the n–¹⁹C elastic cross-section at low energies also show dominance of an S-matrix pole corresponding to a bound or virtual Efimov state. It is also presented a brief discussion of these findings in the context of ultracold atom physics with tunable scattering lengths.

We are pointing out relevant anisotropic effects, related to spatial separation and miscibility, due to dipole-dipole interactions in rotating binary dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates by considering symmetric (${}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}-{}^{162}\mathrm{Dy}$) and asymmetric (${}^{168}\mathrm{Er}-{}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}, {}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}-{}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$) dipolar mixtures. The binary mixtures are kept in a strong pancake-shaped trap, with repulsive two-body interactions and fixed rotation, modeled by an effective two-dimensional coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The anisotropy of the dipolar interactions on miscibility and vortex-lattice structures is studied by tuning the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) from repulsive to attractive by varying the dipole polarization angle. A clear spatial separation is verified in the densities for attractive DDI, when the inter- to intraspecies contact interaction ratio is larger than 1, being angular for symmetric mixtures and radial for asymmetric ones. The signature of hidden vortices is evidenced in the particular dipolar-symmetric case. Another relevant outcome is the observed mass-imbalance sensibility verified by the vortex-pattern binary distributions in symmetric and asymmetric-dipolar mixtures, which requires the use of a relation for nonhomogeneous mixtures to estimate the miscibility of two components.

Dynamics and stability of solitons in two-dimensional (2D) Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), with one-dimensional (1D) conservative plus dissipative nonlinear optical lattices, are investigated. In the case of focusing media (with attractive atomic systems), the collapse of the wave packet is arrested by the dissipative periodic nonlinearity. The adiabatic variation of the background scattering length leads to metastable matter-wave solitons. When the atom feeding mechanism is used, a dissipative soliton can exist in focusing 2D media with 1D periodic nonlinearity. In the defocusing media (repulsive BEC case) with harmonic trap in one direction and nonlinear optical lattice in the other direction, the stable soliton can exist. Variational approach simulations are confirmed by full numerical results for the 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
