Quantum solutions to differential equations represent quantum data -- states that contain relevant information about the system's behavior, yet are difficult to analyze. We propose a toolbox for reading out information from such data, where…

Quantum-degenerate Fermi gases provide a remarkable opportunity to study strongly interacting fermions. In contrast to other Fermi systems, such as superconductors, neutron stars or the quark-gluon plasma, these gases have low densities and…
Near absolute zero, superfluid liquid helium displays quantum properties at macroscopic length scales. One property, superfluidity, means flow with zero viscosity. Another property, the existence of a complex wavefunction, constrains the…

We study the dynamics of quantized superfluid vortices on axisymmetric compact surfaces with no holes, where the total vortex charge must vanish and the condition of irrotational flow forbids distributed vorticity. A conformal…
We consider quantized vortices in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates and three-component Fermi gases with attractive interactions. In these systems, the vortex core can be either empty (normal in the fermion case) or filled with…
Hydrodynamic interactions are transmitted by viscous diffusion and sound propagation: the temporal evolution of hydrodynamic interactions by both mechanisms is studied by direct numerical simulation in this paper. The hydrodynamic…
The forward enstrophy cascade in two-dimensional quantum turbulence in a superfluid film connected to a thermal bath is investigated using a Fokker-Planck equation based on Kosterlitz-Thouless renormalization. The steady-state cascade is…

Interactions between particles are usually a resource for quantum computing, making quantum many-body systems intractable by any known classical algorithm. In contrast, noise is typically considered as being inimical to quantum many-body…
