Turbulence is one of the most frequently encountered non-equilibrium phenomena in nature yet characterising the transition that gives rise to it has remained an elusive task. Although in recent studies critical points marking the onset of…
Quantum coherence is a fundamental common trait of quantum phenomena, from the interference of matter waves to quantum degeneracy of identical particles. Despite its importance, estimating and measuring quantum coherence in generic, mixed…
We numerically investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a two-dimensional exciton-polariton quantum fluid coherently driven by two counter-propagating laser beams. Using an exciton-photon coupled driven-dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii framework,…
Turbulent fluid dynamics typically involves excitations on many different length scales. Classical incompressible fluids can be cleanly represented in Fourier space enabling spectral analysis of energy cascades and other turbulence…
We review fundamental problems involved in liquid theory including both classical and quantum liquids. Understanding classical liquids involves exploring details of their microscopic dynamics and its consequences. Here, we apply the same…
Turbulence in a system of nonlinearly interacting waves is referred to as wave turbulence. It has been known since seminal work by Kolmogorov, that turbulent dynamics is controlled by a directional energy flux through the wavelength scales.…
The kinetics of nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates are considered within the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A systematic derivation is given for weak small-scale perturbations of a steady confined condensate state. This…
The possibility for the occurrence in crystals of a phenomenon, resembling turbulence, is discussed. This phenomenon, called {\it heterophase turbulence}, is manifested by the fluctuational appearance inside a crystalline sample of…
This paper represents the full version of a paper published earlier in Physica A [246 (1997), 275]. The present paper includes argumentation, proofs and details omitted in the shortened version. The papers are a further development of the…
Turbulence is defined as an eddy-like state of fluid motion where the inertial-vortex forces of the eddies are larger than all the other forces that tend to damp the eddies out. Fossil turbulence is a perturbation produced by turbulence…
Shock waves are examples of the far-from-equilibrium behaviour of matter; they are ubiquitous in nature, yet the underlying microscopic mechanisms behind their formation are not well understood. Here, we study the dynamics of dispersive…
We formulate a quantum theory of vorticity (hydro)dynamics on a general two-dimensional bosonic lattice. In the classical limit of a bosonic condensate, it reduces to conserved plasma-like vortex-antivortex dynamics. The nonlocal…
The quantum tunnelling and nucleation theory of vortices in helium II is reviewed. Arguments are given that the only reliable method to calculate tunnelling probabilities in this highly correlated, strongly interacting many-body system is…
We consider the reconnection of two untwisted, linked quantised vortex rings in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that the reconnection is capable of transferring helicity, from the links present in the initial configuration, to a…
Superfluid dilute neutron matter and ultracold gas, close to the unitary regime, exhibit several similarities. Therefore, to a certain extent, fermionic ultracold gases may serve as emulators of dilute neutron matter, which forms the inner…
Superfluids can transport heat via simultaneous opposite flows of their spatially interpenetrating condensate and thermal components. While this internal convection is usually described within Landau's phenomenological two fluid…
New methods of flow visualization near absolute zero have opened the way to directly compare quantum turbulence (in superfluid helium) to classical turbulence (in ordinary fluids such as air or water) and explore analogies and differences.…
This study investigates the evolution and interaction of quantum vortex loops with a small but non-zero radius of core ${\sf a}$. The quantization scheme of the classical vortex system is based on the approach proposed by the author…
Relaxation of far-from-equilibrium quantum fluids, intimately related to the emergence of long-range order, is theoretically associated with the decay of a turbulent isotropic tangle of vortex lines. We observe and study such decaying…
We study the relaxation dynamics of quantum turbulence in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate containing half-quantum vortices. We find a temporal scaling regime for the number of vortices and the correlation lengths that at early…
