Cooled to nanokelvin temperatures, gases may become superfluid and lose all resistance to flow. These exotic phases of matter – known as quantum gases – open windows into the quantum world, enabling direct observations on macroscopic length scales in highly-controllable settings.
Our research focuses on theoretically modeling ultracold quantum gases and investigating their incredibly rich phenomena. Our interests include quantized vortices; magnetic fluids; dilute self-bound droplets; and supersolids – paradoxical materials that simultaneously behave as a superfluid and a solid.
