Two-dimensional Dipolar Quantum Gases: Fluctuations and Orders.
Ordering in two-dimensional (2D) worlds is fundamentally different from what we know in 3D: Thermal fluctuations preclude conventional long-range order. An unconventional ordering mechanism based on topological defects may occur. The resulting order is topological, remains fluctuating, and intimately depends on the interparticle interactions. Many systems, including frustrated magnets, superconductors, colloids, and quantum gases, exhibit such orders. Their topological origin confers them exotic properties, of high technological interest, yet still partly enigmatic. In ultracold Bose gases of magnetic atoms, short-range and long-range anisotropic dipolar interactions compete. Recently, such…
