Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates in Weak Anisotropic Disorder Potentials — •Branko Nikolić1, Antun Balaž1, and Axel Pelster21Scientific Computing Laboratory, Institute of Physics Belgrade, University of Belgrade, Serbia — 2Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg, Delmenhorst, Germany

We explore the peculiar properties of ultracold Bose gases which emerge from the delicate interplay between an anisotropic two-particle interaction and an anisotropic random potential. To this end we consider homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensates with both dipolar and contact interaction in weak disorder potentials which are characterized by an anisotropic Lorentzian correlation distribution in Fourier space. Solving perturbatively the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to second order with respect to the disorder potential allows to calculate analytically the disorder-ensemble averages for the condensate and superfluid depletion, the equation of state, and the sound velocity. Apart from reproducing previous special cases [1,2], these properties show characteristic anisotropies which arise from the formation of fragmented dipolar condensates in the minima of the anisotropic disorder potential.
