Superfluidity and superconductivity have been studied widely since the last century in many different contexts ranging from nuclear matter to atomic quantum gases. The rigidity of these systems with respect to external perturbations results…
In this work we start from the assumption that normal solid to supersolid (NS-SS) phase transition is continuous, and develop a phenomenological Landau theory of the transition in which superfluidity is coupled to the elasticity of the…
Landau's excitation-based argument for superfluids -- that at temperature $T=0$ the normal fluid density $\rho_{n}$ is zero -- should also apply to supersolids. Further, for a total mass density $\rho$, Leggett argues that the superfluid…
Superfluidity, the ability of a fluid to move without dissipation, is one of the most spectacular manifestations of the quantum nature of matter. We explore here the possibility of superfluid motion of light. Controlling the speed of a…
Even when ideal solids are insulating, their states with crystallographic defects may have superfluid properties. It became clear recently that edge dislocations in $^4$He featuring a combination of microscopic quantum roughness and…
The frictionless motion of an object through a fluid medium is commonly viewed as a hallmark of superfluidity. According to Landau, kinematic constraints prohibit superfluid behavior in one-dimensional (1D) bosonic systems. Here, using…
Landau's criterion for superfluidity is a special case of a broader principle: A moving fluid cannot be stopped by frictional forces if its state of motion is a local minimum of the grand potential. We employ this general thermodynamic…
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…
Superfluids can transport heat via simultaneous opposite flows of their spatially interpenetrating condensate and thermal components. While this internal convection is usually described within Landau's phenomenological two fluid…
A superfluid having atomic scale superflow of a hexagonal lattice of vortex and antivortex filaments, described by a single macroscopic wave function is presented as a supersolid. As superfluid \he4 is pressurized, at a first order…
Superconductivity (SC) or superfluidity (SF) is observed across a remarkably broad range of fermionic systems: in BCS, cuprate, iron-based, organic, and heavy-fermion superconductors, and superfluid helium-3 in condensed matter; in a…
We elucidate the microscopic quantum mechanism of superfluid $^4$He by uncovering a novel characteristic of its many-body energy levels. At temperature below the transition point, the system's low-lying levels exhibit a fundamental grouping…
The phenomenon of superfluidity (superconductivity) is a possibility of transport of mass (charge) on macroscopical distances without essential dissipation. In magnetically ordered media with easy-plane topology of the order parameter space…
Based on a first principles treatment of the excitation states we show that superfluidity of superfluid $^4$He (He II) results from a reduction in the number of phonon wavevector $K$ states $\N2(K)$ to a level that is negligibly low when…
Superfluids and superconductors are ordinary matter that show a very surprising behavior at low temperatures. As their temperature is reduced, materials of both kinds can abruptly fall into a state in which they will support a persistent,…
We define a superfluid state to be a nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS), which, at zero temperature, satisfies certain \emph{metastability conditions}, which physically express that there should be a sufficiently small energy-momentum…
Currently there is a common belief that the explanation of superconductivity phenomenon lies in understanding the mechanism of the formation of electron pairs. Paired electrons, however, cannot form a superconducting condensate…
Quantum fluids of light merge many-body physics and nonlinear optics, through the study of light propagation in a nonlinear medium under the shine of quantum hydrodynamics. One of the most outstanding evidence of light behaving as an…
This paper reports the unified microscopic theory of a system of interacting bosons such as liquid $^4He$.Each particle in the system represents a $(q;-q)$ pair moving with a centre of mass momentum K.Particles form bound pairs below…
A possibility of the condensation of excitations with non-zero momentum in moving superfluid media is considered in terms of the Ginzburg-Landau model. The results might be applicable to the superfluid $^4$He, ultracold atomic Bose gases,…
