Epitaxial growth on a surface vicinal to a high-symmetry crystallographic plane occurs through the propagation of atomic steps, a process called step-flow growth. In some instances, the steps tend to form close groups (or bunches), a…
Two types of long range interactions, dipolar interaction and cavity-mediated interaction lead to exotic quantum phases. Both interactions have been realized and observed in optical lattice setups. Here, we study quantum phases of dipolar…
