Physical Review Letters 111, no. 18: 185304.0031-90071079-7114http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:13421148We study quasi-two-dimensional dipolar Bose gases in which the bosons experience a Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that the degenerate dispersion minimum due to the spin-orbit coupling, combined with the long-range dipolar interaction, can stabilize a number of quantum crystalline and quasicrystalline ground states. Coupling the bosons to a fermionic species can further stabilize these phases. We estimate that the crystalline and quasicrystalline phases should be detectable in realistic dipolar condensates, e.g., dysprosium, and discuss their symmetries and excitations.en-USJournal Article2014-11-2410.1103/PhysRevLett.111.185304
