We develop a formalism to describe quasihole condensates in quantum Hall liquids and thereby extend the conformal field theory approach to the full hierarchy of spin-polarized Abelian states, and to several classes of non-Abelian…
A repulsively interacting Bose-Einstein condensate on a ring is well known to show persistent currents. For attractive interactions, however, a bound state may form that renders the rotation classical. Here we show that in a…

Despite ground-breaking observations of supersolidity in spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates, until now the dynamics of the emerging spatially periodic density modulations has been vastly unexplored. Here, we demonstrate the…
Quasicrystals lack translational symmetry, but can still exhibit long-ranged order, promoting them to candidates for unconventional physics beyond the paradigm of crystals. Here, we apply a real-space functional renormalization group…
With the rapid development of topological states in crystals, the study of topological states has been extended to quasicrystals in recent years. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of topological states in quasicrystals,…
A periodically kicked ring of a Bose-Einstein condensate is considered as a nonlinear generalization of the quantum kicked rotor. For weak interactions between atoms, periodic motion (anti-resonance) becomes quasiperiodic (quantum beating)…
The ground state of solid $^4$He is studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and a new trial wave function able to describe the supersolid. The new wave function is symmetric under the exchange of particles and reproduces the…
We generalize the concept of quantum phase transitions, which is conventionally defined for a ground state and usually applied in the thermodynamic limit, to one for \emph{metastable states} in \emph{finite size systems}. In particular, we…
Confinement can have a considerable effect on the behavior of particle systems, and is therefore an effective way to discover new phenomena. A notable example is a system of identical bosons at low temperature under an external field…
It is shown that the interface in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in which one component exhibits a dipole-dipole interaction spontaneously forms patterns similar to those formed in a magnetic liquid subject to a magnetic…

Order and disorder constitute two fundamental and opposite themes in condensed matter physics and materials science. Crystals are considered the epitome of order, characterised by long-range translational order. The discovery of…
We discuss two instances of anisotropic ordered quantum phases within QCD at finite baryon densities: (1) Fermionic deconfined three-color QCD matter with a spin one quark-quark Cooper pair condensate can exhibit distinct quantum i.e.…
Mathematicians have been interested in non-periodic tilings of space for decades; however, it was the unexpected discovery of non-periodically ordered structures in intermetallic alloys which brought this subject into the limelight. These…
Superfluidity---the suppression of scattering in a quantum fluid at velocities below a critical value---is one of the most striking manifestations of the collective behaviour typical of Bose-Einstein condensates. This phenomenon, akin to…
The order parameter of a condensate with two internal states can continuously distort in such a way as to remove twists that have been imposed along its length. We observe this effect experimentally in the collapse and recurrence of Rabi…
We study the electronic structure of quasicrystals composed of incommensurate stacks of atomic layers. We consider two systems: a pair of square lattices with a relative twist angle of $\theta=45^\circ$ and a pair of hexagonal lattices with…
