In nearly compensated graphene, disorder-assisted electron-phonon scattering or "supercollisions" are responsible for both quasiparticle recombination and energy relaxation. Within the hydrodynamic approach, these processes contribute weak…
Partly motivated by recent proposals for the detection of gravitational waves, we study their interaction with Bose-Einstein condensates. For homogeneous condensates at rest, the gravitational wave does not directly create phonons (to…
We relate the phase separation observed in many crystals with pronounced electron correlations to the regions of negative electron compressibility. They were found in several models describing strong electron correlations. At low…
We derive the equations of hydrodynamics of a fully polarized electron gas placed in a strong magnetic field. These equations reveal the existence of solitons - immobile or propagating domain wall-like defects whose plane is perpendicular…

In solids, quanta of atomic vibrations are identified in reciprocal space by their frequency and wavevector as phonons. At the opposite end of the matter spectrum, dynamics of dilute gases is conventionally described in terms of atomic or…
We study the thermal conductance across solid-solid interfaces as the composition of an intermediate matching layer is varied. In absence of phonon-phonon interactions, an added layer can make the interfacial conductance increase or…

The hydrodynamic description of a superfluid is usually based on a two-fluid picture. In this thesis, basic properties of such a relativistic two-fluid system are derived from the underlying microscopic physics of a complex scalar quantum…
Solving intractable mathematical problems in simulators composed of atoms, ions, photons or electrons has recently emerged as a subject of intense interest. Here we extend this concept to phonons that are localised in spectrally pure…
Superfluids support many different types of sound waves. We investigate the relation between the sound waves in a relativistic and a non-relativistic superfluid by using hydrodynamics to calculate the various sound speeds. Then, using a…
Interactions between mesoscopic devices induced by interface acoustic phonons propagating in the plane of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) are investigated by phonon-spectroscopy. In our experiments ballistic electrons injected from…
We derive a theory of superfluidity for a dilute Fermi gas that is valid when scattering resonances are present. The treatment of a resonance in many-body atomic physics requires a novel mean-field approach starting from an unconventional…
