Abstract We study the formation of quantum droplets in the mixture of a single-component Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), and a two-species Fermi superfluid across a wide Feshbach resonance. With repulsive boson-boson and attractive boson-fermion interactions, we show that quantum droplets can be stabilized by attractive fermion-fermion interactions on the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) side of the resonance, and can also exist in the deep BEC regime under weak boson-fermion interactions. We map out the phase diagram for stable droplets with respect to the boson-boson and boson-fermion interactions, and discuss the role of different types of quantum fluctuations in the relevant regions of the BCS-BEC crossover. Our work reveals the impact of fermion pairing on the formation of quantum droplets in Bose–Fermi mixtures, and provides a useful guide for future experiments.
