At zero temperature, homogeneous interacting Bose-condensed fluids are entirely superfluid, with remarkable transport properties. A non-superfluid, normal component is induced by finite temperatures and spatial inhomogeneity, the combined…
We numerically compute the helicity modulus of the three-dimensional gauge glass by Monte Carlo simulations. Because the average free energy is independent of a twist angle, it is expected that the average helicity modulus, directly related…
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the two-dimensional superfluid properties of the hard-core boson model, which show a strong dependence on particle density and disorder. We obtain further evidence that a half-filled…

We present a study of the lower critical field, \hc1, of \STO as a function of carrier concentration with the aim of quantifying the superfluid density. At low carrier concentration (i.e. the underdoped side), superfluid density and the…
We introduce a novel method to circumvent Weinberg's no-go theorem for self-tuning the cosmological vacuum energy: a Lorentz-violating finite-temperature superfluid can counter the effects of an arbitrarily large cosmological constant.…
We consider the experimental properties of superconductors with a gap which is an odd function of energy $\bepsk=\epsk - \mu$, i.e.\ , a gap which vanishes everywhere on the Fermi surface; this is done within a in a BCS framework. Apart…
We study the superfluid density of hard-core bosons on quasi-one-dimensional lattices using the quantum Monte Carlo method. Because of phase slippage, the superfluid density drops quickly to zero at finite temperatures with increasing the…

Superfluid condensation can fundamentally be different from that predicted by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. In a broad class of low-carrier-density superconductors, such as granular aluminum, doped nitrides, and high-Tc…
When the intensity of turbulence is increased (by increasing the Reynolds number, e.g. by reducing the viscosity of the fluid), the rate of the dissipation of kinetic energy decreases but does not tend asymptotically to zero: it levels off…
