Weakly disordered two-dimensional superconductors undergo a Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition, where at a critical temperature vortices proliferate through the system and destroy the superconducting (SC) order. On the other hand, it was…

We study the sound velocity in cubic and non-cubic three-dimensional optical lattices. We show how the van Hove singularity of the free Fermi gas is smoothened by interactions and eventually vanishes when interactions are strong enough. For…
We present an alternative method for determining the sound velocity in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates, based on thermodynamic global variables. The total number of trapped atoms was as a function of temperature carefully studied across…
A numerical study of the neutral two-dimensional (2D) lattice Coulomb gas is performed to examine dynamic scaling, finite size effects, and the dynamic critical exponent $z$ of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition. By studying…
Experiments on dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates have recently reported the observation of supersolidity. Although quantized vortices constitute a key probe of superfluidity, their observability in dipolar supersolids is largely prevented…
