## TL;DR

This paper explores how rotating magnetic fields can tune dipole-dipole interactions in a Bose-Einstein condensate of magnetic atoms, analyzing the emergence of instabilities and their dependence on rotation frequency.

## Contribution

It provides simulations of realistic tuning sequences and characterizes the development of dynamic instabilities, offering insights for experimental feasibility.

## Key findings

- Instabilities develop more slowly at higher rotation frequencies
- Tuned dipole-dipole interactions are experimentally feasible
- Dynamic instabilities can be characterized through simulations

## Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate of magnetic atoms in which the dipoles are rotated by an external magnetic field. The time-averaged dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms is effectively tuned by this rotation, however recent experimental and theoretical developments show that dynamic instabilities emerge that may cause heating. We present simulations of a realistic tuning sequence in this system, and characterize the system behavior and the emergence of instabilities. Our results indicate that the instabilities develop more slowly as the rotation frequency increases, and indicate that experiments with tuned dipole-dipole interactions should be feasible.
