In turbulence phenomena, including the quantum turbulence in superfluids, an energy flux flows from large to small length scales, composing a cascade of energy. A universal characteristic of turbulent flows is the existence of a range of…

We propose a different type of Landau instability in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates by a helically moving environment. In the presence of quantized vortices, the instability can cause spontaneous radiation and amplification of Kelvin…

Vortices are expected to exist in a supersolid but experimentally their detection can be difficult because the vortex cores are localized at positions where the local density is very low. We address here this problem by performing numerical…
