摘要
We measure the excitation spectrum of a dipolar chromium Bose-Einstein condensate with Raman-Bragg spectroscopy. The energy spectrum depends on the orientation of the dipoles with respect to the excitation momentum, demonstrating an anisotropy that originates from the dipole-dipole interactions between the atoms. We compare our results with the Bogoliubov theory based on the local density approximation and, at large excitation wavelengths, with the numerical simulations of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our results show an anisotropy of the speed of sound.
