Mesoscopic supersolid of dipoles in a trap

Understand

A mesoscopic system of indirect dipolar bosons trapped by a harmonic potential is considered.

• The system has a number of physical realizations including dipole excitons, atoms with large dipolar moment, polar molecules, Rydberg atoms in inhomogenious electric field.
• We carry out a diffusion Monte Carlo simulation to define the quantum properties of a two-dimensional system of trapped dipoles at zero temperature.
• In dimensionless units the system is described by two control parameters, namely the number of particles and the strength of the interparticle interaction.
