Abstract
The beyond-mean-field corrections appropriate to a bosonic many-body system experiencing a density-dependent gauge potential are derived, and from this the dimensional hierarchy of quantum droplet solutions are explored. Non-stationary quantum droplet solutions are supported by a single interaction parameter characterising the strength of the gauge potential, while in one dimension the beyond-mean-field theory can be solved exactly to yield chiral quantum droplets and dark soliton-like excitations. Numerical simulations of single and pairs of chiral droplets indicate a rich dynamics in the beyond-mean-field regime.
