Abstract
Ultracold quantum gases confined in three-dimensional bubble traps are promising tools for exploring many -body effects on curved manifolds. As an alternative to the conventional technique of radio-frequency dressing, we propose to create such shell-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates in microgravity based on dual-species atomic mixtures, and we analyze their properties as well as the feasibility of realizing symmetrically filled shells. Beyond similarities with the radio-frequency dressing method, as in the collective excitation spectrum, our approach has several natural advantages like the robustness of the created quantum bubbles and the possibility of magnifying shell effects through an interaction-driven expansion.
