Covers the State of the Art in Superfluidity and Superconductivity
Superfluid States of Matter addresses the phenomenon of
superfluidity/superconductivity through an emergent, topologically
protected constant of motion and covers topics developed over the
past 20 years. The approach is based on the idea of separating
universal classical-field superfluid properties of matter from the
underlying system's "quanta." The text begins by deriving the
general physical principles behind superfluidity/superconductivity
within the classical-field framework and provides a deep
understanding of all key aspects in terms of the dynamics and
statistics of a classical-field system. It proceeds by explaining
how this framework emerges in realistic quantum systems, with
examples that include liquid helium, high-temperature
superconductors, ultra-cold atomic bosons and fermions, and nuclear
matter. The book also offers several powerful modern approaches to
the subject, such as functional and path integrals. Comprised of 15
chapters, this text: Establishes the fundamental macroscopic
properties of superfluids and superconductors within the paradigm
of the classical matter field Deals with a single-component neutral
matter field Considers fundamentals and properties of
superconductors Describes new physics of superfluidity and
superconductivity that arises in multicomponent systems Presents
the quantum-field perspective on the conditions under which
classical-field description is relevant in bosonic and fermionic
systems Introduces the path integral formalism Shows how Feynman
path integrals can be efficiently simulated with the worm algorithm
Explains why nonsuperfluid (insulating) ground states of regular
and disordered bosons occur under appropriate conditions Explores
superfluid solids (supersolids) Discusses the rich dynamics of
vortices and various aspects of superfluid turbulence at T 0
Provides account of BCS theory for the weakly interacting Fermi gas
Highlights and analyzes the most crucial developments that has led
to the current understanding of superfluidity and superconductivity
Reviews the variety of superfluid and superconducting systems
available today in nature and the laboratory, as well as the states
that experimental realization is currently actively pursuing
