Superfluidity is a fascinating phenomenon that, at the macroscopic scale, leads to dissipationless flow and the emergence of vortices. While these macroscopic manifestations of superfluidity are well described by theories that have their…
By using a well established 'ab initio' theoretical approach developed in the past to quantitatively study the superconductivity of condensed matter systems, which is based on the Kohn-Sham Density Functional theory, I study the superfluid…
Ferrofluids show unusual hydrodynamic effects due to the magnetic nature of their constituents. For increasing magnetization a classical ferrofluid undergoes a Rosensweig instability and creates self-organized ordered surface structures or…
Superfluidity and superconductivity have many elements in common. However, I argue that their most important commonality has been overlooked: that both are kinetic energy driven. Clear evidence that superfluidity in $^4He$ is kinetic energy…
The onset mechanism of superfluidity is examined by taking the case of the capillary flow of liquid helium 4. In the capillary flow, a substantial fall of the shear viscosity has been observed in the normal phase (lambda point<T<3.7K). In…
Density-functional theory for superfluid systems is developed in the framework of the functional renormalization group based on the effective action formalism. We introduce the effective action for the particle-number and nonlocal pairing…
The standing wave model describes the well-known phenomenon of superconductivity in a new way [1]. Starting from a new definition of superconductivity, a microscopic London relation is derived from first principles. The relation between the…
The atomic Bose gas is studied across a Feshbach resonance, mapping out its phase diagram, and computing its thermodynamics and excitation spectra. It is shown that such a degenerate gas admits two distinct atomic and molecular superfluid…
We derive a controlled expansion into mean field plus fluctuations for the extended Bose-Hubbard model, involving interactions with many neighbors on an arbitrary periodic lattice, and study the superfluid-supersolid phase transition. Near…
We derive a fully quantum-mechanical equation of motion for a vortex in a 2-dimensional Bose superfluid, in the temperature regime where the normal fluid density $\rho_n(T)$ is small. The coupling between the vortex "zero mode" and the…
We present a general derivation of Hess-Fairbank effect or non-classical rotational inertial (NCRI), i.e. the refusal to rotate with its container, as well as the quantization of angular momentum, as consequences of off-diagonal long-range…
We theoretically investigate the stochastic decay of persistent currents in a toroidal ultracold atomic superfluid caused by a perturbing barrier. Specifically, we perform detailed three-dimensional simulations to model the experiment of…
We study the superfluid properties of a system of fully polarized dipolar bosons moving in the $xy$ plane. We focus on the general case where the polarization field forms an arbitrary angle $\alpha$ with respect to the $z$ axis, while the…
We investigate the superfluidity of a three-dimensional weakly interacting Bose gas with a one-dimensional Raman-type spin-orbit coupling at both zero and finite temperatures. Using the imaginary-time Green's function within the Bogoliubov…
We study the effect of commensurability (integer filling factor) on the superfluid (SF) - Bose-glass (BG) transition in a one-dimensional disordered system in the limit of weak disorder, when the effect is most pronounced and, on the other…
We construct a theory for Bose-Einstein condensation of light in nano-fabricated semiconductor microcavities. We model the semiconductor by one conduction and one valence band which consist of electrons and holes that interact via a Coulomb…

A standard perturbative expansion around the mean-field solution is used to derive the low-energy effective action for superconductors at T=0. Taking into account the density fluctuations at the outset we get the effective action where the…
