Solid-state physics: Supersolid simulations
Dieter Jaksch1
Abstract
Supersolids — substances that are crystalline but also behave as free-flowing superfluids — can exist, according to quantum theory. Models now suggest a route to the clinching experimental evidence.
Quantum theory predicts the existence of several phases of matter that have counterintuitive properties. Some of these phases — such as superconductors, through which electricity flows without resistance, and super-fluids, which flow without friction — have been experimentally verified and have assumed major roles in science and technology.
