Transient Supersolid Properties in an Array of Dipolar Quantum Droplets

We study theoretically and experimentally the emergence of supersolid properties in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. The theory reveals a ground state phase diagram with three distinct regimes—a regular Bose-Einstein condensate and incoherent and coherent arrays of quantum droplets. The coherent...
