Abstract

We study the effects of dipole–dipole interactions on the diffusion of an expanding atomic Bose–Einstein condensate with tunable s-wave interactions in three-dimensional disorder potentials. First-order correction due to local and nonlocal nonlinearities to the average atomic density is analytically calculated in the long expanding time limit using a perturbative theory. It is found that the diffusion coefficient exhibits a stronger anisotropy dependence due to the dipolar interactions. We show that the intriguing interplay of dipolar and nondipolar interactions and disorder potential may affect the diffusive expansion.
