Abstract :
We study the groundstates of rotating atomic Bose gases with non-local interactions. We focus on the weak-interaction limit of a model involving s - and d -wave interactions. With increasing d -wave interaction, the mean-field groundstate undergoes a series of transitions between vortex lattices of different symmetries (triangular, square, “stripe” and “bubble” crystal phases). We discuss the stability of these phases to quantum fluctuations. Using exact diagonalization studies, we show that with increasing d -wave interaction, the incompressible Laughlin state at filling factor ν = 1 / 2 is replaced by compressible stripe and bubble states.
