Superfluidity and relaxation dynamics of a laser-stirred 2D Bose gas

Vijay Pal Singh, Christof Weitenberg, Jean Dalibard +1

We investigate the superfluid behavior of a two-dimensional (2D) Bose gas of ${}^{87}$Rb atoms using classical field dynamics. In the experiment by R. Desbuquois \textit{et al.}, Nat…
