When temperatures are low enough, every substance in thermal
equilibrium must become ordered. Since some materials remain fluid
even to the lowest temperatures, it is fascinating to ask how this
ordering can take place. One possibility is the formation of a
superfluid state, one in which there is macroscopic quantum
order-or what may be called quantum mechanics in a tea-cup.
Designed for final-year undergraduates or beginning graduate
students, Basic Superfluids begins with these ideas. The author
assumes some knowledge of quantum, statistical, and thermal
physics, and builds on this background to give a readable
introduction to the three superfluids of low temperature physics.
