A supersolid is a fascinating phase of matter, combining the global phase coherence of a superfluid with hallmarks of solids, e.g. a spontaneous breaking of the translational symmetry. Recently, states with such counter-intuitive properties…

We derive the hydrodynamic equations for the supersolid and superhexatic phases of a neutral two-dimensional Bose fluid. We find, assuming that the normal part of the fluid is clamped to an underlying substrate, that both phases can sustain…
Phase fluctuations in finite thickness layered superconducting films are studied theoretically. The model consists of a set of layers, coupled to each other via a gradient-like term in the phase-only action. It is shown that the effective…
The heat capacity of a small amount of $^3$He atoms dissolved in submonolayer $^4$He film has been measured. The measured heat capacity is finite and suggests that $^3$He atoms are mobile at an areal density regime higher than that of the…
Intermittency is a hallmark of turbulence, which exists not only in turbulent flows of classical viscous fluids but also in flows of quantum fluids such as superfluid $^4$He. Despite the established similarity between turbulence in…
