Recent experiments have detected 4He supersolidity, but the observed transition is rather unusual. In this paper, we describe a supersolid as a normal lattice suffused by a Bose gas. With this approach, we can explain the central aspects of…

We examine a Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms that rotates in a quadratic-plus-quartic potential. It is shown that states of different circulation can be metastable. As a result, we demonstrate that the gas can exhibit hysteresis as the…
