“…The advent of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in 52 Cr [1,2], 164 Dy [3,4] and 168 Er [5] accompanied by long-range dipole-dipole (DD) interactions superimposed on the contact interatomic collisions has impacted the investigation of ultracold quantum gases [6]. The anisotropic character and long-range nature of DD interactions endows the dipolar BECs (DBECs) with several distinct features such as the subordination of stability on the trap geometry [1,2], rotonmaxon character of the excitation spectrum [7,8], new dispersion relations for elementary excitations [9,10], novel quantum phases [11,12], explicit [13,14] and hidden vortices [15], specific vortex-antivortex pairs [16], anisotropic multidimensional solitons [17,18], quantum droplets stabilized by beyond-mean-field effects [19,20,21], etc. The above phenomena arise due to the interplay between the contact s-wave interactions and the dipolar attraction or repulsion [22].…”
