Superfluidity with disorder in a thin film of quantum gas

We investigate the properties of a strongly interacting superfluid gas of 6Li2 Feshbach molecules forming a thin film confined in a quasi-two-dimensional channel with a tunable random potential, creating a microscopic disorder. We measure the atomic curren ...

Coherence and Topological Defects in Exciton-Polariton Condensates

Francesco Manni

Exciton-polaritons are hybrid quasi-particles, eigenstates of the strong coupling regime between light and matter. Their Bose-Einstein condensation has been recently demonstrated, opening the way to several fundamental investigations on the associated phen ...

Results of the test of a pair of 20 kA HTS current leads

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Rainer Wesche

A new series connected 25 T hybrid magnet system is being set up by the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) for neutron scattering experiments. CRPP has designed and manufactured a pair of 20 kA current leads for the powering of the outer superconducting coils ...

Ultrafast tristable spin memory of a coherent polariton gas

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, François Morier-Genoud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Taofiq Paraïso, Roland Cerna

Non-linear interactions in coherent gases are not only at the origin of bright and dark solitons and superfluids; they also give rise to phenomena such as multistability, which hold great promise for the development of advanced photonic and spintronic devi ...

Competition between three-sublattice order and superfluidity in the quantum three-state Potts model of ultracold bosons and fermions on a square optical lattice

Frédéric Mila

We study a quantum version of the three-state Potts model that includes as special cases the effective models of bosons and fermions on the square lattice in the Mott-insulating limit. It can be viewed as a model of quantum permutations with amplitudes J(p ...

Thermo-electric analysis of the interconnection of the LHC main superconducting bus bars

Luca Bottura, Pier Paolo Granieri

Spurred by the question of the maximum allowable energy for the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we have progressed in the understanding of the thermo-electric behavior of the 13 kA superconducting bus bars interconnecting its main magnets. A ...

Theory of superconductivity in a three-orbital model of Sr2RuO4

Ronny Thomale, Yong Yang

In conventional and high transition temperature copper oxide and iron pnictide superconductors, the Cooper pairs all have even parity. As a rare exception, Sr2RuO4 is the first prime candidate for topological chiral p-wave superconductivity, which has time ...

On the condensation of polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the "fifth state of matter," have in fact been discovered by chance both in liquid helium and in superconductors. Since these early encounters, BECs have been sought for, both in atom vapors and in solids. Here we report o ...

Observing the drop of resistance in the flow of a superfluid Fermi gas

Jean-Philippe Brantut

The ability of particles to flow with very low resistance is characteristic of superfluid and superconducting states, leading to their discovery in the past century. Although measuring the particle flow in liquid helium or superconducting materials is esse ...

Semiclassical approach to ground-state properties of hard-core bosons in two dimensions

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta, Nicolas Laflorencie

Motivated by some inconsistencies in the way quantum fluctuations are included beyond the classical treatment of hard-core bosons on a lattice in the recent literature, we revisit the large-S semiclassical approach to hard-core bosons on the square lattice ...
