Oscillations on free surface of superfluids at the inviscid limit are damped by quasiparticle scattering. We have studied this effect in both superfluids $^3$He and $^4$He deep below the respective critical temperatures. Surface oscillators…
We show that a sudden change in the polarization direction of the magnetic dipole moments of the atoms in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) can serve as a useful probe to sense its superfluid and solid-like properties. We find that…
Turbulence in superfluids depends crucially on the dissipative damping in vortex motion. This is observed in the B phase of superfluid 3He where the dynamics of quantized vortices changes radically in character as a function of temperature.…

We investigate the decay of vortices in a rotating cylindrical sample of 3He-B, after rotation has been stopped. With decreasing temperature vortex annihilation slows down as the damping in vortex motion, the mutual friction dissipation…
We describe measurements of the decay of pure superfluid turbulence in superfluid 3He-B, in the low temperature regime where the normal fluid density is negligible. We follow the decay of the turbulence generated by a vibrating grid as…
The thermo-mechanical effect in superfluid helium is used to create an initial chemical potential difference, $\Delta \mu_0$, across a solid $^4$He sample. This $\Delta \mu_0$ causes a flow of helium atoms from one reservoir filled with…
The friction force on the moving interface between two different vacuum states of superfluid 3He is considered at low temperature. Since the dominating mechanism of the friction is the Andreev reflection of the massless "relativistic"…
Coherent condensates appear as emergent phenomena in many systems, sharing the characteristic feature of an energy gap separating the lowest excitations from the condensate ground state. This implies that a scattering object, moving through…
Coherent precession of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates of magnons is a sensitive probe for magnetic relaxation processes in superfluid 3He-B down to the lowest achievable temperatures. We use the dependence of the relaxation rate on the…
Superfluidity, liquid flow without friction, is familiar in helium. The first evidence for "supersolidity", its analogue in quantum solids, came from recent torsional oscillator (TO) measurements involving 4-He. At temperatures below 200…
We present data for energy dissipation factor (Q^{-1}) over a broad temperature range at various pressures of a torsion pendulum setup used to study 3He confined in a 98% open silica aerogel. Values for Q^{-1} above T_c are temperature…
We discuss a force arising from zero-temperature quantum fluctuations in a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We argue that there is a drag force on an object moving at speeds well below Landau's critical velocity, and…

The Andreev-Bashkin (AB) effect, corresponding to the dissipationless dragging of one superfluid by another, was predicted almost fifty years ago but has so far eluded experimental detection. In this work, we theoretically introduce an…
A profound change occurs in the stability of quantized vortices in externally applied flow of superfluid 3He-B at temperatures ~ 0.6 Tc, owing to the rapidly decreasing damping in vortex motion with decreasing temperature. At low damping an…
