The question of whether a Bose solid has a superfluid fraction is discussed. We confirm and expand on the remark of Chester that quantum fluctuations make this inevitable, roughly estimate its magnitude, and show that true rigid rotation…
We develop an effective low-energy, long-wavelength theory of a bulk supersolid--a putative phase of matter with simultaneous crystallinity and Bose condensation. Using conservation laws and general symmetry arguments we derive an effective…
A description of a large system of particles is often sought in a derivation from the detailed behaviour of just a few of the particles. The present thesis deals with the connection between such microscopic features and the nature of a…
We present a mathematically rigorous analysis of the superfluid properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the many-body ground state of a one-dimensional model of interacting bosons in a random potential.
We study by means of first principle Quantum Monte Carlo simulations the ground state phase diagram of a system of dipolar bosons with aligned dipole moments, and with the inclusion of a two-body repulsive potential of varying range. The…
We investigate the many-body dynamics of an effectively attractive one-dimensional Bose system confined in a toroidal trap. The mean-field theory predicts that a bright-soliton state will be formed when increasing the interparticle…
We study two-body correlations in a many-boson system with a hyperspherical approach, where we can use arbitrary scattering length and include two-body bound states. As a special application we look on Bose-Einstein condensation and…
We present a theory for the emergence of a supersolid state in a cigar-shaped dipolar quantum Bose gas. Our approach is based on a reduced three-dimensional (3D) theory, where the condensate wavefunction is decomposed into an axial field…
We present compelling evidence supporting the conjecture that the origin of the roton in Bose-condensed systems arises from strong correlations between the constituent particles. By studying the two dimensional bosonic dipole systems a…
We review the main properties of a supersolid. We describe first the macroscopic equation that satisfies a supersolid based on general arguments and symmetries and show that such solids might exhibit simultaneously or independently both…
We derive an effective d-dimensional Hamiltonian for a system of hard-core-bosons coupled to optical phonons in a lattice. At non-half-fillings, a superfluid-supersolid transition occurs at intermediate boson-phonon couplings, while at…
We present a theoretical study of a mixture of antidipolar and nondipolar Bose-Einstein condensates confined to an infinite tube. We predict the presence of a spin roton and its associated instability, which triggers a continuous…
A "supersolid" -- a crystal that exhibits an off-diagonal long-range order and a superflow -- has been a subject of much research since its first proposal [Andreev and Lifshitz 1969], but has not been realized as a ground state of…
This talk summarizes our recent work establishing an algebraic, model-independent basis for the existence of \B bounds and \B equations for topologically non-trivial solitons and instantons. Our arguments use supersymmetry in an essential…
We present a microscopic theory for superfluidity in an interacting many-particle Bose system (such as liquid $^4$He). We show that, similar to superconductivity in superconductors, superfluidity in a Bose system arises from pairing of…
A finite one-dimensional microscopic model of a superfulid is presented. The model consists of interacting Bose particles with an additional impurity particle confined to a ring. Both semiclassical and exact quantum calculations reveal…
The modern theory of Bose-Einstein condensation, superfluidity, and superconductivity is reviewed. The thermodynamic principle for superfluid flow and the equation of motion for condensed bosons are given. Computer simulations of…
We show that interlayer excitons in double-layer semiconductor heterostructures can form a Bose solid, which is an incompressible supersolid characterized by exactly one boson per lattice site. This exciton Bose solid would be the first…
Hard-core bosons on a triangular lattice with nearest neighbor repulsion are a prototypical example of a system with supersolid behavior on a lattice. We show that in this model the physical origin of the supersolid phase can be understood…
We identify a one-dimensional supersolid phase in a binary mixture of near-hardcore bosons with weak, local inter-species repulsion. We find realistic conditions under which such a phase, defined here as the coexistence of…
