We show that, at high densities, fully variational solutions of solid-like type can be obtained from a density functional formalism originally designed for liquid 4He. Motivated by this finding, we propose an extension of the method that…
We numerically studied the vortex dynamics at zero temperature in superfluid $^4$He confined between two parallel rough solid boundaries, one of which oscillates in a shear mode. This study was motivated by the experimental work by Barquist…
Our density functional theory calculations for Fe_{13-n}M_{n} for M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu up to n = 4 show that the icosahedral symmetry of Fe13, albeit minor changes in bond lengths, is robust despite doping and is retained…
Structures, physical and chemical properties of V doped Co$_{13}$ clusters have been studied in detail using density functional theory based first-principles method. We have found anomalous variation in stability of the doped clusters with…
Particles occupying sites of a random lattice present density fluctuations at all length scales. It has been proposed that increasing interparticle interactions reduces long range density fluctuations, deviating from random behaviour. This…
Experiments on dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates have recently reported the observation of supersolidity. Although quantized vortices constitute a key probe of superfluidity, their observability in dipolar supersolids is largely prevented…
We investigate the rotational properties of quantum droplets, which form in a mixture of two Bose-Einstein condensates, in the presence of an anharmonic trapping potential. We identify various phases as the atom number and the angular…

Acene molecules (anthracene, tetracene, pentacene) and fullerene (C$_{60}$) are embedded in He nanodroplets (He$_N$) and probed by EUV synchrotron radiation. When resonantly exciting the He nanodroplets, the embedded molecules M are…
We have studied self-sustained, deformable, rotating liquid He cylinders of infinite length. In the normal fluid $^3$He case, we have employed a classical model where only surface tension and centrifugal forces are taken into account, as…
One of the most sought-after objects in topological quantum matter systems is a vortex carrying half a quantum of circulation. They were originally predicted to exist in superfluid 3He-A, but have never been resolved there. Here we report…
We theoretically study slow collisions of NH$_3$ molecules with He atoms, where we focus in particular on the observation of scattering resonances. We calculate state-to-state integral and differential cross sections for collision energies…
Rapid new developments have occurred in superfluid hydrodynamics since the discovery of a host of unusual phenomena which arise from the diverse structure and dynamics of quantized vortices in 3He superfluids. These have been studied in…
We consider a "symmetric" quantum droplet in two spatial dimensions, which rotates in a harmonic potential, focusing mostly on the limit of "rapid" rotation. We examine this problem using a purely numerical approach, as well as a…
We calculate properties of a model of $^4$He in Vycor using the Path Integral Monte Carlo method. We find that $^4$He forms a distinct layered structure with a highly localized first layer, a disordered second layer with some atoms…
We unravel the existence and nonequilibrium response of one-dimensional harmonically trapped droplet configurations in the presence of a central potential barrier or well. For fixed negative chemical potentials, it is shown that droplets…
