As the Earth rotates, the Coriolis force causes several oceanic and atmospheric waves to be trapped along the equator, including Kelvin, Yanai, Rossby, and Poincaré modes. It has been demonstrated that the mathematical origin of these waves is related to the nontrivial topology of the underlying hydrodynamic equations. Inspired by recent observations of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in bubble-shaped traps in …

The new research, by a team from The University of Queensland, EQUS and FLEET will be important for emerging technological applications of superfluidity, such …
Physicists at the University of Queensland have shed light upon how tiny whirlpools (vortices) get stuck to obstacles in superfluids. Superfluids are a quantum substance that can flow without viscosity and hence do not slow down due to friction. A second defining feature of superfluids is that they only support quantised rotation – the vortices can only spin with strength …
Professor David Snoke, Distinguished Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh Missed the talk? Catch up on youtube It is possible to engineer a system in which photons are “dressed” to have an effective mass and repulsive interactions. In this case, they obey the same equations as bosonic atoms and can undergo Bose-Einstein condensation, leading to superfluidity. In …
Exotic phase transitions unlock pathways to future, superfluid-based technologies. We can learn a lot by studying microscopic and macroscopic changes in a material as it crosses from one phase to another, for example from ice to water to steam. But while these phase transitions are well understood in the case of water, much less is known about the dynamics when …
There are numerous observations shedding light on the properties of dark matter, however its decomposition is unknown. Based on its known properties, we examine whether dark matter can be superfluid light. Our speculation is motivated by the recent observations of Bose-Einstein condensation of photons [1] and by the successes of the bosonic star dark matter models [2]. In this project, …
Superconductivity and superfluidity are macroscopic quantum phenomena that are observed at low temperatures. Bringing them to room temperatures is the Holy Grail in physics. One prospective system is a double layered semiconductor structure with spatially separated electrons and holes (holes are empty electronic states that can be treated as particles with positive charges). Attractive Coulomb interactions can bind them to …
The ‘sloshing’ of a quantum fluid comprised of light and matter reveals superfluid properties. An Australian-led team of physicists have successfully created sloshing quantum liquids in a ‘bucket’ formed by containment lasers. “These quantum fluids are expected to be as wavy as the oceans, but catching clear pictures of the waves is an experimental challenge,” says lead author Dr Eliezer …

An Australian-led study has provided new insight into the behaviour of rotating superfluids. A defining feature of superfluids is that they exhibit quantised vortices – they can only rotate with one, or two, or another integer amount of rotation. Despite this key difference from classical fluids, where vortices can spin with any strength, many features of the collective dynamics of …
A Swinburne University of Technology study published this week examines the propagation of energy as sound waves in a quantum gas, revealing for the first time strong variations in the nature of the sound wave as a function of temperature. At low energies, this energy travels via the collective movement of many particles moving in sync – essentially, as sound …
Prof. David Neilson, University of Antwerp Although there is strong theoretical and experimental evidence for electron-hole superfluidity in separated sheets of electrons and holes at low T, extending superfluidity to high T is limited by strong 2D fluctuations and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless topological effects. We show this limitation can be overcome using a superlattice of alternating electron-doped and hole-doped semiconductor monolayers. The superfluid transition in a …
One of the goals of FLEET is to develop transistor technology using superfluid circuits.

At low oscillator currents, we demonstrate that …

In particular, we consider the scattering of plasma waves in gated two-dimensional electron …

Quasiparticles with Weyl dispersion can display an abundance of novel topological, thermodynamic and transport phenomena, which is why novel Weyl materials and platforms for Weyl physics are being intensively looked for in electronic, magnetic, photonic and acoustic systems.

Exciton-polaritons (polaritons herein) are bosonic quasiparticles formed when an exciton is coupled to a cavity photon in a semiconductor microcavity [1]. These hybrid light-matter quasiparticles form Bose-Einstein condensates at elevated temperatures due to their very small effective mass. However, polariton condensates are inherently non-equilibrium because of the ultrashort lifetime of polaritons and coexistence with a reservoir of high-energy excitons feeding …

However, electrical transport studies have been impeded by the lack of a reliable method to realize Ohmic hole-conducting …
Atomically-thin InSe exhibited strong PL emission from its dark excitons due to efficient acoustic-phonon-exciton coupling, resulting in high population density and efficient radiative recombination.

We investigate the formation of excitons bound by photons using a microscopic Hamiltonian involving quantum well electrons, holes, and microcavity photons.
