Abstract

In this Letter we suggest a method to observe remote interactions of spatially separated dipolar quantum fluids, and in particular, of dipolar excitons in GaAs bilayer based devices. The method utilizes the static electric dipole moment of trapped dipolar fluids to induce a local potential change on spatially separated test dipoles. We show that such an interaction can be used for model-independent, objective fluid density measurements, an outstanding problem in this field of research, as well as for interfluid exciton flow control and trapping. For a demonstration of the effects on realistic devices, we use a full two-dimensional hydrodynamical model.
