We report the formation of a ring-shaped array of vortices after injection of angular momentum in a polariton superfluid. The angular momentum is injected by a $\ell= 8$ Laguerre-Gauss beam, whereas the global rotation of the fluid is…
We showed that the equations (3), (4), (5) and (6), used in the paper Total and fractional densities of states from caloric relations by S. F. Chekmarev and S. V. Krivov, Phys. Rev. E 57 2445 (1998), are incorrect, the data, presented in…
In this paper, on the basis of the model Schr\"odinger equation, we consider the tunneling mechanism of cavitation in liquid helium and obtain threshold values of negative pressure as a function of temperature for 3He and 4He. The results…
An unexpected finding two decades ago demonstrated that Shockley electron states in noble metal surfaces are spin-polarized, forming a circulating spin texture in reciprocal space. The fundamental role played by the spin degree of freedom…
We study the long-range electron and energy transfer mediated by a polaron on an $\alpha$-helix polypeptide chain coupled to donor and acceptor molecules at opposite ends of the chain. We show that for specific parameters of the system, an…
Realization of an elemental solid-state quasicrystal has remained a distant dream so far in spite of extensive work in this direction for almost two decades. Here, we report the discovery of quasiperiodic ordering in a thick layer of…
We apply the coarse-grained Hall-Vinen-Bekarevich-Khalatnikov (HVBK) equations to model the statistically steady-state, turbulent, cylindrically symmetric radial counterflow generated by a moderately large heat flux from the surface of a…
We studied the thermal conductivity of superfluid $^3$He in a 2.5 mm effective diameter and 0.15 m long channel connecting the two volumes of our experimental assembly. The main volume contained pure solid $^4$He, pure liquid $^3$He and…
We propose an exact construction for atypical excited states of a class of non-integrable quantum many-body Hamiltonians in one dimension (1D), two dimensions (2D), and three dimensins (3D) that display area law entanglement entropy. These…
Recently, a novel kind of hybrid atom-optomechanical system, consisting of atoms in a lattice coupled to a membrane, has been experimentally realized [Vochezer {\it et al.,} Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{120}, 073602 (2018)], which promises a…
The paper shows that the kinetic equations considered in [1], equilibrium distribution obtained in [1], and results and conclusions obtained on the basis of the kinetic equation derived in [1] do not correspond to the mixed Bose-Fermi…
The experimentally demonstration of Casimir force transition from attraction to repulsion is still challenging. Herein, the Casimir forces for a sphere above a plate immersed in different liquids were precisely measured using Atomic force…
The paper investigates the coexistence and interplay of spin and mass superfluidity in the antiferromagnetic spin-1 BEC. The hydrodynamical theory describes the spin degree of freedom by the equations similar to the…
When global continuous symmetries are spontaneously broken, there appear gapless collective excitations called Nambu-Goldstone modes (NGMs) that govern the low-energy property of the system. The application of this famous theorem ranges…
There are many topological faces of the superfluid phases of $^3$He. These superfluids contain various topological defects and textures. The momentum space topology of these superfluids is also nontrivial, as well as the topology in the…
We report on a combined theoretical and numerical study of counterflow turbulence in superfluid $^{4}$He in a wide range of parameters. The energy spectra of the velocity fluctuations of both the normal-fluid and superfluid components are…
We review the parity anomaly of the massless Dirac fermion in $2+1$ dimensions from the Hamiltonian, as opposed to the path integral, point of view. We have two main goals for this note. First, we hope to make the parity anomaly more…
We report on theoretical model and experimental results of the experiment made in a limit of absolute zero temperature ($\sim$ 600\,$\mu$K) studying the spin wave analogue of black/white hole horizon using spin (magnonic) superfluidity in…
The statistics and form of avalanches in a driven system reveal the nature of the underlying energy landscape and dynamics. In conventional metallic ferromagnets, eddy-current back action can dominate the dynamics. Here, we study Barkhausen…
We reassess the phase diagram of high-pressure solid hydrogen using mean-field and many-body wave function based approaches to determine the nature of phase III of solid hydrogen. To discover the best candidates for phase III, density…
