In a semiconductor superlattice with long scattering times, damping of Bloch oscillations due to scattering is so small that convective nonlinearities may compensate it and Bloch oscillations persist even in the hydrodynamic regime. In this…

A repulsively interacting Bose-Einstein condensate on a ring is well known to show persistent currents. For attractive interactions, however, a bound state may form that renders the rotation classical. Here we show that in a…
