We study the rotational properties of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a quasi-twodimensional anisotropic trap, for an arbitrary orientation of the dipoles with respect to their plane of motion. Within the mean-field approximation we find that the lowest-energy state of the system depends strongly on the relative strength between the dipolar and the contact interactions, as well as on the size and the orientation of the dipoles, and the size and the orientation of the deformation of the trapping potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
