"Supersolid" self-bound Bose condensates via laser-induced interatomic forces

Condensed Matter 2015-06-24 v1

Abstract

We show that the dipole-dipole interatomic forces induced by a single off-resonant running laser beam can lead to a self-bound pencil-shaped Bose condensate, even if the laser beam is a plane-wave. For an appropriate laser intensity the ground state has a quasi-one dimensional density modulation --- a Bose "supersolid".
