About

    Quantum fluids are a type of collective behavior of particles, typically atoms or molecules, at extremely low temperatures where quantum mechanical effects dominate the system's behavior. These fluids exhibit unique properties such as superfluidity, where they flow without any viscosity, and quantized vortices, which are topological defects in the fluid's flow field. Research in quantum fluids explores the fundamental physics behind these phenomena and their potential applications in fields such as quantum computing, precision measurement, and quantum simulation. Experimental techniques typically involve cooling atoms to ultracold temperatures using techniques such as laser cooling or evaporative cooling to observe and manipulate their quantum behavior.
