Abstract

Solitonic excitations of the one-dimensional quantum droplets are obtained, which smoothly connect vacuum with the flat-top droplet, akin to compactons in classical liquids. These solitons are of the kink type, necessarily residing on a constant pedestal, determined by the mean-field (MF) repulsion and beyond mean field quantum correction and having exactly one-third of the uniform condensate amplitude. Akin to the kinks, the propagating modes occur in pairs and are phase-locked with the background. The lowest chemical potential and condensate amplitude at the flat-top boundary matches with the self-trapped quantum droplet. More general excitations of analogous kind are obtained through the Möbius transform, which connect the required solutions to elliptic functions in general.
