Exploring the supersolid phase of matter with dipolar quantum gases

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Supersolids are a paradoxical quantum phase of matter intermediate between superfluids and crystals. I will show how the fundamental properties of supersolids can be explored in Bose-Einstein condensates of strongly dipolar atoms. I will in particular show how one of their key properties, the sub-unity superfluid fraction, can be measured by studying the Josephson effect that naturally exists in supersolids.
