Quantum Droplets of Dipolar Molecules

Many-body systems with long-range dipolar interactions promise the realization of novel forms of self-organization and pattern formation in nature. Following the creation of a weakly interacting BEC of dipolar molecules [1], we report on the study of molecular quantum liquids with increased dipolar interactions. By precisely controlling anisotropic dipolar interactions, we observe the emergence of novel quantum states, including macrodroplet and droplet array phases. Our work manifests the great potential of dipolar molecules for studying novel exotic many-body phenomena with strong dipolar interactions.
