  We discuss a model of dipolar bosons trapped in a weakly coupled planar array
of one-dimensional tubes. We consider the situation where the dipolar moments
are aligned by an external field, and find a rich phase diagram as a function
of the angle of this field exhibiting quantum phase transitions between solid,
superfluid and supersolid phases. In the low energy limit, the model turns out
to be identical to one describing quasi-one-dimensional superconductivity in
condensed matter systems. This opens the possibility of using bosons as a
quantum analogue simulator of electronic systems, a scenario arising from the
intricate relation between statistics and interactions in quasi-one-dimensional
systems.
