| In this talk, I would like to review some new developments in the physics of Chromium and in general dipolar condensates. I would discuss first the effects of the dipolar interaction on the expansion of Chromium condensates. I will then discuss the possibility of obtain 2D solitary waves in two dimensional dipolar BEC, and analyze their stability. Finally, I will discuss the physics of spin-3 Chromium BEC. I will first discuss the possible ground-state phases, and later I will discuss the spinor dynamics. In particular, it will be shown how the dipole-induced spin relaxation leads to an effect similar to the well-known Einstein-de Haas effect. |
