Long-range spin transport in magnetic systems can be achieved by means of exchange-mediated spin textures with robust topological winding -- a phenomenon referred to as spin superfluidity. Its experimental signatures have been discussed in…

We investigate the possibility of spin texture in the bilayer cuprate superconductor $\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ using cluster dynamical mean field theory (CDMFT). The one-band Hubbard model with a small interlayer hopping and a Rashba…
