Rosensweig instability due to three-body interaction or quantum fluctuations?Vladimir Lončar1, Dušan Vudragović1, •Antun Balaž1, and Axel Pelster21Scientific Computing Laboratory, Institute of Physics Belgrade, University of Belgrade, Serbia — 2Physics Department and Research Center OPTIMAS, Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany

In the recent experiment [1], the Rosensweig instability was observed in a 164Dy Bose-Einstein condensate, which represents a quantum ferrofluid due to the large atomic magnetic dipole moments. After a sudden reduction of the scattering length, which is realized by tuning the external magnetic field far away from a Feshbach resonance, the dipolar quantum gas creates self-ordered surface structures in form of droplet crystals. As the underlying Gross-Pitaevskii equation is not able to explain the emergence of that Rosensweig instability, we extend it by both three-body interactions [2-4] and quantum fluctuations [5]. We then use extensive numerical simulations in order to study the interplay of three-body interactions as well as quantum fluctuations on the emergence of the Rosensweig instability.
