Phase coherence in out-of-equilibrium supersolid states of ultracold dipolar atoms

P Ilzhöfer, M Sohmen, G Durastante, C Politi… - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
A supersolid is a counterintuitive phase of matter that combines the global phase coherence
of a superfluid with a crystal-like self-modulation in space. Recently, such states have been …
