Quantized vortices are a prototypical feature of superfluidity that have been observed in
multiple quantum gas experiments. But the occurrence of vortices in dipolar quantum gases …

Dipolar condensates have recently been coaxed to form the long-sought supersolid phase.
While one-dimensional supersolids may be prepared by triggering a roton instability, we find …

We show that fuzzy dark matter haloes exhibit spatial differentiation in the coherence of the
field configuration, ranging from completely coherent in the central solitonic core to …

The crossing of a continuous phase transition gives rise to the formation of topological
defects described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) in the limit of slow quenches. The …

We investigate the saturation of defect density in an atomic Bose gas rapidly cooled into a
superfluid phase. The number of quantum vortices, which are spontaneously created in the …

Abstract The Kibble–Zurek mechanism describes the spontaneous formation of topological
defects in a system crossing a continuous phase transition,. Its central premise is the notion …

Abstract The Kibble-Zurek mechanism constitutes one of the most fascinating and universal
phenomena in the physics of critical systems. It describes the formation of domains and the …

The emergence of macroscopic coherence in a many-body quantum system is a ubiquitous
phenomenon across different physical systems and scales. This Chapter reviews key …

Abstract The Kibble-Zurek mechanism predicts the formation of topological defects and other
excitations that quantify how much a quantum system driven across a quantum critical point …

It is now widely accepted that quenches through the critical region of quantum phase
transitions result in post-transition states populated with topological defects—analogs of the …
