    For alpha>0, we saw it in the video : Theta=0° or dumbbell along z axis.

    For alpha=0, the quadrupole energy is 0 so no correction : all theta configurations have the same energy.

    For alpha<0, the quadrupole correction is the other way around : minimal at Theta=90°, maximal at Theta=0, so the dumbbell will be in the xy plane.
