We have studied the solubility of molecular hydrogen in bulk liquid $^4$He at zero temperature using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and realistic interatomic potentials between the different species of the mixture. Around the $^4$He…
A new description is presented for the roton part of the energy spectrum of supe rfluid ${^4}$He. It is based on the assumption that in addition to the Feynman density excitations, there exist localized modes which describe vortex-core…
We examine the transverse and longitudinal components of the drag force upon a straight vortex line due to the scattering of liquid $^4$He excitations. For this purpose, we consider a recently proposed Hamiltonian that describes the…
We report diffusion Monte Carlo results for the ground state of unpolarized spin-1/2 fermions in a cylindrical container and properties of the system with a vortex-line excitation. The density profile of the system with a vortex line…
We present results of large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the 2D classical x-y model on the square lattice. We obtain high accuracy results for the superfluid fraction and for the specific heat as a function of temperature, for systems…
The diffusion Monte Carlo technique is used to calculate and analyze the excitation spectrum of $^3$He atoms bound to a cluster of $^4$He atoms, by using a previously determined optimum filling of single-fermion orbits with well defined…
We have studied molecular hydrogen in a pure 1D geometry and inside a narrow carbon nanotube by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The one-dimensionality of H2 in the nanotube is well maintained in a large density range, this system…
The ground state of solid $^4$He is studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method and a new trial wave function able to describe the supersolid. The new wave function is symmetric under the exchange of particles and reproduces the…
We study numerically nonuniform quantum turbulence of coflow in a square channel by the vortex filament model. Coflow means that superfluid velocity $\bm{v}_s$ and normal fluid velocity $\bm{v}_n$ flow in the same direction. Quantum…
We carry out a theoretical investigation of overpressurized superfluid phases of He-4 by means of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations. As a function of density, we study structural and superfluid properties, and estimate the energy of the…
In this thesis we have used Quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study two systems that can be regarded as the archetype for neutral strongly interacting systems: 4He, and its fermionic counterpart 3He.More specifically, we have used the Path…
We propose a mechanism of a vortex nucleation in a flow of a superfluid $^4He$. The mechanism is related to the creation by critical fluctuations of a "plasma" of half-vortex rings located near the wall. The "plasma" screens the attraction…
Two types of vortex states have been much studied in superfluid $^4$He. The first is the vortex array in a rotating container. The second is the vortex tangle in turbulent flow. An experiment attempt to combine these two states by rotating…
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…
The binding energies of two-dimensional clusters (puddles) of $^4$He are calculated in the framework of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The results are very well fitted by a mass formula in powers of $x=N^{-1/2}$, where $N$ is the number…
Motivated by the study of cosmological phase transitions, our understanding of the formation of topological defects during spontaneous symmetry-breaking and the associated non-equilibrium field theory has recently changed. Experiments have…
This paper presents a finite particle approximation of the two-fluid model for liquid $^4$He using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). In recent years, several studies have combined the vortex filament model (VFM), which describes…
The coupled dynamics of the two-fluid model of superfluid $^4$He is numerically studied for quantum turbulence of the thermal counterflow in a square channel. We combine the vortex filament model of the superfluid and the Navier-Stokes…
The vortex system in a high-T_c superconductor has been studied numerically using the mapping to 2D bosons and the path-integral Monte Carlo method. We find a single first-order transition from an Abrikosov lattice to an entangled vortex…
In this work we perform an ab-initio study of an ideal two-dimensional sample of 4He atoms, a model for 4He films adsorbed on several kinds of substrates. Starting from a realistic hamiltonian we face the microscopic study of the excitation…
