Vortices are found in a fermion system with repulsive dipole-dipole
interactions, trapped by a rotating quasi-two-dimensional harmonic oscillator
potential. Such systems have much in common with electrons in quantum dots,
where rotation is induced via an external magnetic field. In contrast to the
Coulomb interactions between electrons, the (externally tunable) anisotropy of
the dipole-dipole interaction breaks the rotational symmetry of the
Hamiltonian. This may cause the otherwise rotationally symmetric exact
wavefunction to reveal its internal structure more directly.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
