%0 Journal Article %T Mean-field description of dipolar bosons in triple-well potentials %A David Peter %A Krzysztof Pawlowski %A Tilman Pfau %A Kazimierz Rzazewski %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1088/0953-4075/45/22/225302 %X We investigate the ground state properties of a polarized dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a triple-well potential. By solving the dipolar Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically for different geometries we identify states which reveal the non-local character of the interaction. Depending on the strength of the contact and dipolar interaction we depict the stable and unstable regions in parameter space. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.2615v2
