Abstract

We investigate the classicality of linear dipolar droplet arrays through a normal mode analysis of the dynamical properties in comparison to the supersolid regime. The vibrational patterns of isolated-droplet crystals that time-evolve after a small initial kick closely follow the properties of a linear droplet chain. For larger kick velocities, however, droplets may coalesce and separate again, showing distinct deviations from classicality. In the supersolid regime the normal modes are eliminated by a counter-flow of mass between the droplets, signaled by a reduction of the center-of-mass motion.
