Merging dipolar supersolids in a double-well potential

| Abstract |
We theoretically investigate the merging behavior of two identical supersolids through dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates confined within a double-well potential. By adiabatically tuning the barrier height and the spacing between the two wells for specific trap aspect ratios, the two supersolids move toward each other and lead to the emergence of a variety of ground-state phases, including a supersolid state, a macrodroplet state, a ring state, and a labyrinth state. We construct a phase diagram that characterizes various states seen during the merging transition. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
