Condensed-matter physics: A superfluid is born
Henk T. C. Stoof1
Abstract
For most of its existence, a superfluid droplet leads an essentially innocuous, classical life. But intense scrutiny reveals that the birth of such droplets is a turbulent and unpredictable quantum affair.
Phase transitions occur everywhere in nature. They can happen on a grand, cosmic scale: our Universe is thought to have gone through several phase transitions in the first second after the Big Bang.
- Henk T. C. Stoof is at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University, Leuvenlaan 4, 3584 CE Utrecht, the Netherlands.
