Caption

Illustration of the density distribution of a rotating dipolar Bose-Einstein-Condensate (dBEC) exhibiting quantized vortices based on simulation data from the paper. The vortices, visible via their density dips in the dBEC, arrange in stripes due to the anisotropic and long-range character of the dipolar interactions between the atoms.
