We study the quantum phase transitions for the extended Bose-Hubbard model with bosons on a Kagome superlattice which can be implemented by enhancing the long wavelength laser in one direction of the optical lattice [1]. To this end we combine the virtues of a Mean-Field theory with the Laudau theory of Ref. [2] and work out a multi-component effective potential method. By comparing the corresponding analytic results with extensive quantum Monte-Carlo simulations, we find that several striped solids emerge in this system. Due to the blockade effect of such a striped order, the resulting superfluid density turns out to be anisotropic and thus, reveals its tensional property [3]. Finally, we discuss the complete quantum phase diagram.
