The first experimental realization of quantum droplets in dipolar condensates [1] has highlighted the importance of quantum fluctuations [2], which were later shown to be the main source of system’s stability against the dipolar collapse. The droplets were predicted and shown to be self-bound beyond the critical atom number even without the trap. However, there is a systematic difference in theoretical estimates of the critical atom number and experimental results [3]. Here we use an approach based on the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which includes quantum depletion and beyond-LDA gradient corrections, to numerically and variationally study their effects on the critical atom number.
