Abstract
We analyze the physics of self-bound droplets in a doubly dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate composed by particles with both electric and magnetic dipole moments. Using the particularly relevant case of dysprosium, we show that the anisotropy of the doubly dipolar interaction potential is highly versatile and nontrivial, depending critically on the relative orientation and strength between the two dipole moments. This opens novel possibilities for exploring intriguing quantum many-body physics. Interestingly, by varying the angle between the two dipoles we find a dimensional crossover from quasi-one-dimensional to quasi-two-dimensional self-bound droplets. This opens a so far unique scenario in condensate physics, in which a dimensional crossover is solely driven by interactions in the absence of any confinement.
