Single-fluid model for rotating annular supersolids and its experimental implications
arXiv:2510.26753 · doi:10.1103/8n5y-fyh7
Abstract
The famous two-fluid model of finite-temperature superfluids has been recently extended to describe the mixed classical-superfluid dynamics of the newly discovered supersolid phase of matter. We show that for rigidly rotating supersolids one can derive a more appropriate single-fluid model, in which the seemingly classical and superfluid contributions to the motion emerge from a spatially varying phase of the global wavefunction. That allows to design experimental protocols to excite and detect the peculiar rotation dynamics of annular supersolids, including partially quantized supercurrents, in which each atom brings less than unit of angular momentum. Our results are valid for a more general class of density-modulated superfluids.
