Abstract

Temperature plays a non-trivial role in dipolar systems, being able to either induce or destroy spatial density modulations. In order to shed light into the interplay between thermal effects and quantum correlations, we employ the path integral Monte Carlo method (PIMC) to obtain the phase diagram of a system of dipolar bosons in an infinite cylindrical geometry and at finite temperatures. For a fixed total density, we vary the scattering length of the interaction and the temperature, and characterize the structure and superfluidity of the emerging phases. The PIMC method accounts for thermal effects and quantum correlations at all orders, and can be used to quantitatively estimate the superfluid fraction of the system. Remarkably, we find a regime of parameters where, starting from a supersolid, the spatial order vanishes with temperature before the superfluidity does. We also find a region of the phase diagram where the superfluid fraction displays a non-monotonous dependence with temperature. Our results extend previous descriptions, relying on Bogoliubov theory, to larger temperatures in the thermodynamic limit and illustrate how spatial modulations and superfluidity are lost as temperature is increased.

Surface corrections and vortex energetics in the Thomas--Fermi limit of a self-bound unitary Fermi superfluid

We study a spin-balanced unitary Fermi superfluid bound by an attractive $1/r$ interaction within an extended Thomas--Fermi density functional. Its large-particle-number limit is the Lane--Emden polytrope of index $3/2$. We prove the leading gradient correction to the ground-state energy and strong convergence of the density amplitude. A rescaled surface problem predicts the next energy correction and the leading integrated density error. Matching a vortex core to the polytropic bulk gives the energetic threshold of a singly quantized central vortex, including the constant beyond the leading logarithm. Linearizing the same surface problem predicts a local energetic threshold for collective surface excitations that, in the natural TF frequency units, decreases more slowly with particle number than the central-vortex threshold. Radial stationary, spherical Bogoliubov--Poisson, and axisymmetric real-time calculations test the predicted energy corrections and vortex matching, and resolve finite-size surface-mode minima whose approach to the continuum surface coefficient is followed to $N\simeq4\times10^6$. For the reference gradient coefficient the vortex constant is $c_1=-0.535$, and the surface Landau scale is $1.417\,ω_K(\hbar_{\rm eff}^2/2R_{\rm TF})^{1/6}\propto N^{-1/9}$; sector energies at $N\simeq4.6\times10^5$, computed after the fit, agree with the extrapolated vortex threshold to $10^{-4}$. These results distinguish the accuracy of the Thomas--Fermi bulk from the gradient physics that controls the surface and vortex core, and separate vortex energetics from the open problem of nonlinear vortex entry.

Universal Long-distance Tail of Particle-number Density near a Wall in Superfluids

We investigate the long-distance recovery of the particle-number density near a static, impermeable wall in a $d$-dimensional Galilean-invariant superfluid. Using superfluid effective field theory (EFT) on a half-space, we show that quantum phonon fluctuations produce a $z^{-(d+1)}$ tail in the smooth density profile at zero temperature, where $z$ is the distance from the wall. The tail coefficient is fixed by the bulk equation of state and is independent of microscopic wall details. At low temperature $T$, the thermal length $c_s/T$, with $c_s$ the bulk sound speed, separates the zero-temperature behavior at intermediate distances from a thermal $Tz^{-d}$ tail at larger distances for $d>1$. For $d=1$, the long-distance phonon contribution instead decays as $\exp(-4πTz/c_s)$. The EFT applies to both Bose and Fermi superfluids, including strongly interacting Fermi gases at unitarity. We estimate the normalized tail amplitude in three dimensions across the BCS--BEC crossover using experimental sound-speed data.

Interfacial Faraday instability driven by interspecies-interaction modulation in a phase-separated binary Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate interfacial Faraday instabilities in a quasi-two-dimensional, phase-separated binary Bose-Einstein condensate driven by periodic modulation of the interspecies scattering length. In the strongly immiscible regime, the interspecies interaction energy is concentrated near the internal interface, linking the modulation to interfacial tension and the capillary restoring force. We quantify the first-order tension response through its logarithmic sensitivity and account for nonlinear tension variations at finite modulation amplitudes. A sharp-interface capillary model and Floquet analysis yield discrete azimuthal-mode frequencies and primary instability tongues that shift toward higher driving frequencies with increasing mode order. Gross-Pitaevskii simulations reveal star-shaped interface patterns with threefold to eightfold rotational symmetry. The eightfold mode exhibits subharmonic oscillations and approximately exponential growth of its period-averaged amplitude over a small-deformation interval. These results provide a route to frequency-selective excitation of interfacial capillary modes through interspecies-interaction control.
