title = "Perspective on quantum bubbles in microgravity",
abstract = "Progress in understanding quantum systems has been driven by the exploration of the geometry, topology, and dimensionality of ultracold atomic systems. The NASA Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) aboard the International Space Station has enabled the study of ultracold atomic bubbles, a terrestrially-inaccessible topology. Proof-of-principle bubble experiments have been performed on CAL with an radiofrequency-dressing technique; an alternate technique (dual-species interaction-driven bubbles) has also been proposed. Both techniques can drive discovery in the next decade of fundamental physics research in microgravity.",

note = "Funding Information: A portion of the CAL research was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (80NM0018D0004). A part of this work was supported by the German Space Agency (DLR) with funds provided by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) due to an enactment of the German Bundestag under Grant Nos. 50WP1705, 50WM2253A, 50WM2263A and 50WM2245A-B. The research of the IQST is financially supported by the Ministry of Science, Research and Arts Baden-W{\"u}rttemberg. A B acknowledges funding provided by the Institute of Physics Belgrade through the grant by the Ministry of Science, Technological Development, and Innovations of the Republic of Serbia. A T acknowledges support from ANR Grant Droplets No. ANR-19-CE30-0003-02. We thank JPL/NASA for the use of the image of astronaut Christina Koch installing a CAL upgrade on the ISS in figure .
