Abstract : We investigate the formation, stability, and dynamics of three-dimensional ring-shaped and multipole vortical quantum droplets (QDs) in nonrotating dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates held in a toroidal trapping potential. The QD dynamics are investigated in the framework of the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which includes long-range dipole-dipole interactions (DDIs) and the beyond-mean-field Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) term, revealing the emergence of self-bound states. Stable stationary solutions for multipole QDs with different values of the topological charge (vorticity 𝑆) are shaped as necklacelike modes, with the number of “beads” (multipole order) 𝑛=2⁢𝑆, up to 𝑆=6. The stability area of the multipoles shrinks with the increase of 𝑆. For higher values of 𝑆 the centrifugal effect associated with the phase winding destabilizes the ring-shaped QDs and drives the formation of fragmented multipole droplet states. The dependence of the chemical potential, total energy, and peak density on the norm (number of particles) and 𝑆 is produced. These findings uncover the stabilizing effect of the LHY correction and DDI anisotropy in maintaining complex QD states in the nonrotating configurations.
