We numerically investigate a condensate of $^{87}$Rb atoms in an F=1 hyperfine state confined in an optical dipole trap. Assuming the magnetic moments of all atoms are initially aligned along the magnetic field we observe, after the field's…

Thermodynamic fluctuation theory originated with Einstein who inverted the relation $S=k_B\ln\Omega$ to express the number of states in terms of entropy: $\Omega= \exp(S/k_B)$. The theory's Gaussian approximation is discussed in most…

Measurement techniques based upon the Hall effect are invaluable tools in condensed matter physics. When an electric current flows perpendicular to a magnetic field, a Hall voltage develops in the direction transverse to both the current…

Crystalline solids are generally known as excellent heat conductors, amorphous materials or glasses as thermal insulators. It has thus come as a surprise that certain crystal structures defy this paradigm. A prominent example are type-I…

Electrons trapped on the surface of liquid helium is an extremely clean system which holds promise for a scalable qubit platform. However, the superfluid surface is not free from fluctuations which might cause the decay and dephasing of the…

An attempt is made to explain the nature of the electric signal observed in He II in a second-sound standing wave. Using the general quantum-mechanical principles, we show that, due to interatomic interaction, each atom of He-II acquires a…

The work of Ahn derives the noise power spectrum of a two-level fluctuator (TLF) in the case that it interacts only with a subregion of a full electron bath and thus is subject to a fluctuating temperature. However, Eq.~(1), which gives the…

The theory of hole superconductivity predicts that in superconductors the charged superfluid is about a million times more rigid than the normal electron fluid. We point out that this physics should give rise to large changes in the bulk…
