Realization of a striped superfluid with ultracold dipolar bosons : phase competition, symmetry enhancement and vortex softening

In this thesis we develop a model of ultracold dipolar bosons in a highly anisotropic quasi-one-dimensional optical lattice. We will see that the model is identical to one describing quasi-one-dimensional superconductivity in condensed matter systems giving rise to the possibility of using this ultr...
