Relativistic two-fluid hydrodynamics with quantized vorticity from the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation

Chi Xiong, Kerson Huang

We consider a relativistic two-fluid model of superfluidity, in which the superfluid is described by an order parameter that is a complex scalar field satisfying the nonlinear Klei…

Quantum vorticity in nature

Kerson Huang

Quantum vorticity occurs in superfluidity, which arises from a spatial variation of the quantum phase. As such, it can occur in diverse systems over a wide range of scales, from th…

Relativistic superfluidity and vorticity from the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation

Chi Xiong, Michael R. R. Good, Yulong Guo +2

We investigate superfluidity, and the mechanism for creation of quantized vortices, in the relativistic regime. The general framework is a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in curved…

Geometric creation of quantum vorticity

Michael R. R. Good, Chi Xiong, Alvin J. K. Chua +1

We consider superfluidity and quantum vorticity in rotating spacetimes. The system is described by a complex scalar satisfying a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. Rotation terms are…

A Critical History of Renormalization

Kerson Huang

The history of renormalization is reviewed with a critical eye, starting with Lorentz's theory of radiation damping, through perturbative QED with Dyson, Gell-Mann & Low, and other…

Dark Energy and Dark Matter in a Superfluid Universe

Kerson Huang

The vacuum is filled with complex scalar fields, such as the Higgs field. These fields serve as order parameters for superfluidity (quantum phase coherence over macroscopic distanc…
