We propose a robust imaging technique that makes it possible to distinguish vortices from antivortices in quasi-two-dimensional Bose--Einstein condensates from a single image of the density of the atoms. Tilting the planar condensate prior…

Superfluid 4He, the first superfluid ever discovered, is in some ways the least well understood. Unlike 3He superfluid, or the variety of Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold gases, superfluid 4He is a very dense liquid of strongly…

We study the drag force on objects moving in a Fermi superfluid at velocities on the order of the Landau velocity $v_L$. The expectation has been that $v_L$ is the critical velocity beyond which the drag force starts to increase towards its…
