Superfluid 4He, the first superfluid ever discovered, is in some ways the least well understood. Unlike 3He superfluid, or the variety of Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold gases, superfluid 4He is a very dense liquid of strongly…
We study a system with competing short- and global-range interactions in the framework of the Bose-Hubbard model. Using a mean-field approximation we obtain the phase diagram of the system and observe four different phases: a superfluid, a…
Phase transitions are ubiquitous in our three-dimensional world. By contrast most conventional transitions do not occur in infinite uniform two-dimensional systems because of the increased role of thermal fluctuations. Here we explore the…
