This book reports on the latest developments in the field of
Superfluidity. The phenomenon has had a tremendous impact on the
fundamental sciences as well as a host of technologies. It began
with the discovery of superconductivity in mercury in 1911, which
was ultimately described theoretically by the theory of Bardeen
Cooper and Schriever (BCS) in 1957. The analogous phenomena,
superfluidity, was discovered in helium in 1938 and tentatively
explained shortly thereafter as arising from a Bose-Einstein
Condensation (BEC) by London. But the importance of superfluidity,
and the range of systems in which it occurs, has grown enormously.
In addition to metals and the helium liquids the phenomena has now
been observed for photons in cavities, excitons in semiconductors,
magnons in certain materials, and cold gasses trapped in high
vacuum. It very likely exist for neutrons in a neutron star and,
possibly, in a conjectured quark state at their center. Even the
Universe itself can be regarded as being in a kind of superfluid
state. All these topics are discussed by experts in the respective
subfields.
