Pair-density-wave (PDW) states are a long-sought-after phase of quantum materials, with the potential to unravel the mysteries of high-$T_c$ cuprates and other strongly correlated superconductors. Yet, surprisingly, a key signature of…

We study steady-state properties of inelastic gases in two-dimensions in the presence of an energy source. We generalize previous hydrodynamic treatments to situations where high and low density regions coexist. The theoretical predictions…

The sum rule formalism is used to evaluate rigorous bounds for the density and current static response functions in superfluid helium at zero temperature. Both lower and upper bounds are considered. The bounds are expressed in terms of…

The two-fluid model of liquid helium is generalized to the case that the superfluid fraction has a small entropy content. We present theoretical arguments in favour of such a small superfluid entropy. In the generalized two-fluid model…

The routine definitions of both entropy, and differential entropy show inconsistencies that make them not reciprocally coherent. We propose a few possible modifications of these quantities so that 1) they no longer show incongruities, 2)…

When liquids are cooled sufficiently rapidly below their melting temperature, they may bypass crystalization and, instead, enter a long-lived metastable supercooled state that has long been the focus of intense research. Although they…

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 review the theoretical description of the role of quantum geometry in superfluidity and superconductivity of multiband systems, with focus on flat bands where quantum geometry is wholly responsible for supercurrents. This review differs…

In this article the Ginzburg-Landau theory ideas are considered in their application to the description of fluctuations influence on the superfluid density in superconductor. The conclusion about the availability of two incompatible…

High-energy scattering spectroscopy is a widely-established technique for probing the characteristic properties of complex physical systems. Motivated by the recent observation of long-sought supersolid states in dipolar quantum Bose gases,…

The two-fluid theory for superfluid hydrodynamics is derived from the fountain pressure result that condensed bosons move at constant entropy and are driven by the chemical potential gradient. Explicit results for $^4$He show that the…

Various notions of fluctuations exist depending on the way one chooses to measure them. We discuss two extreme cases (continuous measurement versus long inter-measurement times) and we see their relation with entropy production and with…

Fluctuations typically destroy long-range order in two-dimensional (2D) systems, posing a fundamental challenge to the existence of exotic states like supersolids, which paradoxically combine solid-like structure with frictionless…

We develop a linear response theory to provide a unified description of two recent spectroscopy protocols for probing one-dimensional supersolid states realized in cold-atom systems. Both protocols involve applying a periodic optical…

Condensation energy in a superconductor cannot be precisely defined if mean-field theory fails to hold. This implies that in the case of high temperature superconductors, discussions of quantitative measures of condensation energy must be…

We investigate the relation between an applied potential and the corresponding stationary state occupation for nonequilibrium and overdamped diffusion processes. This relation typically becomes long ranged resulting in global changes for…

Superfluidity and superconductivity are remarkable manifestations of quantum coherence at a macroscopic scale. The dynamics of superfluids has dominated the study of these systems for decades now, but a comprehensive theoretical framework…

The coupling of vortices to phonons in a superfluid is a gauge coupling dictated by topology. The density and current response to a moving vortex are computed and contrasted with the standard backflow picture. Exploiting the analogy to…
