"Quantum phases of dipolar quantum gases in reduced dimensions"



Abstract

 

We discuss several quantum and classical phases that can be realized with molecular and atomic gases with dipolar interactions.  In particular, we have in mind groundstate polar molecules and Rydberg-dressed alkali atoms confined to low dimensions, which are becoming available in experiments.  Various solids and novel supersolid phases are shown to be stable in these systems.
