Recently, it was argued [Kuklov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 255301 (2022)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.128.255301] that unusual features associated with the superflow-through-solid effect observed in solid ^{4}He can be explained by unique properties of dilute distribution of superfluid edge dislocations. We demonstrate that stability of supercurrents controlled by quantum phase slips (instantons), and other exotic infrared properties of the superfluid dislocations readily follow from a one-dimensional quantum liquid distinguished by an effectively infinite compressibility (in the absence of Peierls potential) associated with the edge dislocation's ability to climb. This establishes a new class of quasi-one-dimensional superfluid states that remain stable and long-range ordered despite their dimensionality. Our theory is consistent with the existing experimental data, and we propose an experiment to test the mass-current-pressure characteristic prediction.

Droplets should exhibit various dynamical phenomena when adhered to a surface; not all of them are realized in classical fluids. Visualization of superfluid ^{4}He pendant droplets revealed that the droplets were horizontally translated on a flat surface, bouncing off at the corner, known as the Noether mode that reflects the translation symmetry. The droplets exhibited another mode in vertical oscillations with high amplitude that included oscillation of the droplet edge.

The spatial Kibble-Zurek mechanism is applied to the Kitaev chain with inhomogeneous pairing interactions that vanish in half of the lattice and result in a quantum critical point separating the superfluid and normal-gas phases in real space. The weakly-interacting BCS theory predicts scaling behavior of the penetration of the pair wavefunction into the normal-gas region different from conventional power-law results due to the non-analytic dependence of the BCS order parameter on the interaction. The Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equation produces numerical results confirming the scaling behavior and hints complications in the strong-interaction regime.

The correlated spinful Haldane model exhibits rich topological phases consisting of chiral topological superfluids (TSFs) and topological spin density waves. However, most of previous studies mainly focus on the case with the fixed hopping phase or at zero temperature. In this paper, we study the attractive spinful Haldane model with arbitrary phase at finite temperature.

Broken symmetries in topological condensed matter systems have implications for the spectrum of Fermionic excitations confined on surfaces or topological defects. The Fermionic spectrum of confined (quasi-2D)He-A consists of branches of chiral edge states. The negative energy states are related to the ground-state angular momentum,Lz=(N/2)ℏ, forN/2Cooper pairs.
