Sumario:We report quantum Monte Carlo results of harmonically confined quantum Bose dipoles within a range of interactions covering the evolution from a gas phase to the formation of an array of droplets. Scaling the experimental setup to a computationally accessible domain we characterize that evolution in qualitative agreement with experiments. Our microscopic approach generates ground-state results free from approximations, albeit with some controlled statistical noise. The simultaneous estimation of the static structure factor and the one-body density matrix allows for a better knowledge of the quantum coherence between droplets. Our results show a narrow window of interaction strengths where diagonal and off-diagonal long-range order can coexist. This domain, which is the key signal of a supersolid state, is reduced with respect to the one predicted by the extended Gross–Pitaevskii equation. Differences are probably due to an increase of attraction in our model, observed previously in the calculation of critical atom numbers for single dipolar drops.
