Mott phases and superfluid-insulator transition of spin-3 bosonic atoms in an optical lattice

ORAL

Abstract

We present a theoretical study of the Mott phases and superfluid-insulator transition of spin-3 bosonic atoms with dipolar interactions in an optical lattice. We present the various broken symmetry states obtained and discuss the application of our results to Chromium atoms in optical traps.
