Superfluidity is a well-characterized quantum phenomenon which entails frictionless-motion of mesoscopic particles through a superfluid, such as $^4$He or dilute atomic-gases at very low temperatures. As shown by Landau, the incompatibility…
Dislocation model of the supersolid state of $^4$He was proposed in 1987 by one of the authors of the review. The model obtained strong support by numerous experimental and theoretical investigations from 2007 to date. In these…
