The existence of a paradoxical supersolid phase of matter, possessing the apparently incompatible properties of crystalline order and superfluidity, was predicted 50 years ago. Solid helium was the natural candidate, but there supersolidity…

Finite systems such as atomic nuclei present at phase transition specific features different from those observed at the thermodynamic limit. Several characteristic signals were found in samples of events resulting from heavy ion collisions…
Below the phase transition temperature $Tc \simeq 10^{-3}$K He-3B has a mixture of normal and superfluid components. Turbulence in this material is carried predominantly by the superfluid component. We explore the statistical properties of…
Superfluidity is a well-characterized quantum phenomenon which entails frictionless-motion of mesoscopic particles through a superfluid, such as $^4$He or dilute atomic-gases at very low temperatures. As shown by Landau, the incompatibility…
We report the first observation of superfluid $\beta$ phase of $^3$He. This phase is realized in $^3$He in nematic aerogel in presence of high magnetic field right below the superfluid transition temperature. We use a vibrating aerogel…
Distinguishing different subphases in the supercritical region is a fundamental issue in statistical physics and condensed matter physics. Traditional approaches mainly rely on static thermodynamic response functions or equilibrium…
Turbulence in superfluids depends crucially on the dissipative damping in vortex motion. This is observed in the B phase of superfluid 3He where the dynamics of quantized vortices changes radically in character as a function of temperature.…
