Angular Momentum in Rotating Superfluid Droplets

Christoph Bostedt, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

The angular momentum of rotating superfluid droplets originates from quantized vortices and capillary waves, the interplay between which remains to be uncovered. Here, the rotation of isolated submicrometer superfluid He-4 droplets is studied by ultrafast ...

Generalization of Fourier’s Law into Viscous Heat Equations

Nicola Marzari, Andrea Cepellotti, Michele Simoncelli

Heat conduction in dielectric crystals originates from the dynamics of atomic vibrations, whose evolution is well described by the linearized Boltzmann transport equation for the phonon populations. Recently, it was shown that thermal conductivity can be r ...

Exciton-Polariton Bose-Einstein Condensates

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud

Exciton-polaritons, mixed light-matter quasiparticles in semiconductors, have recently shown evidence for Bose-Einstein condensation. Some of the properties of condensates of exciton-polaritons are reviewed in this article. We first discuss the spontaneous ...

Nucleation of quantized vortex rings in 4He nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Xiaohang Zhang

Whereas most of the phenomena associated with superfluidity have been observed in finite-size helium systems, the nucleation of quantized vortices has proven elusive. Here we show that the solvation of a Ba+ ion created by photoionization of neutral Ba at ...

Polariton Superfluids Reveal Quantum Hydrodynamic Solitons

Romuald Houdré, Cristiano Ciuti

A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime, and neither whirlpools nor waves form around the obstacle. For higher flow velocities, it has been predi ...

Soliton Instabilities and Vortex Street Formation in a Polariton Quantum Fluid

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, François Morier-Genoud, Gaël Nardin, Gabriele Grosso

Exciton polaritons have been shown to be an optimal system in order to investigate the properties of bosonic quantum fluids. We report here on the observation of dark solitons in the wake of engineered circular obstacles and their decay into streets of qua ...

Phase-Resolved Imaging of Exciton Polaritons

Gaël Nardin

In this PhD thesis, new imaging techniques have been developed in order to explore the physics of semiconductor microcavities. In these structures, composite bosons called exciton polaritons are the result of strong coupling between the cavity mode and qua ...

Vortex shedding from blunt and oblique trailing edge hydrofoils

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat, Amirreza Zobeiri

The phenomenon of vortex shedding behind a hydrofoil is an important issue from both scientific and technical point of view. The resulting fluctuating forces may lead to excessive vibrations and premature cracks in the hydraulic machines. According to prev ...

Quantized Vortices in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis

One of the most striking quantum effects in an interacting Bose gas at low temperature is superfluidity. First observed in liquid 4He, this phenomenon has been intensively studied in a variety of systems for its remarkable features such as the persistence ...
