Spin-3 Chromium Bose-Einstein Condensates — •Luis Santos — Institut für theoretische Physik III, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, D-70550 Stuttgart

We will discuss the physics of spin-3 Chromium Bose-Einstein condensates. We shall first discuss the ground-state properties, and the possible spin phases at low magnetic fields. Later, we shall discuss the dynamics of the spinor condensate, and in particular the possibility of observing the equivalent of the Einstein-de Haas effect due to spin relaxation induced by the dipole-dipole interaction.
