Abstract
We study, by first-principles computer simulations, the low-temperature phase diagram of bosonic dipolar gases
in a bilayer geometry as a function of the two control parameters, i.e., the in-plane density and the interlayer
distance.We observe four distinct phases, namely, paired and decoupled superfluids, as well as a crystal of dimers
and one consisting of two aligned crystalline layers. A direct quantum phase transition from a dimer crystal to two
independent superfluids is observed in a relatively wide range of parameters. No supersolid phase is predicted
for this system.
