In this work, the normal density $rho_n$ and moment of inertia of a moving superfluid are investigated. We find that, even at zero temperature, there exists a finite normal density for the moving superfluid. When the velocity of superfluid reaches sound velocity, the normal density becomes total mass density $rho$, which indicates that the system losses superfluidity. At the same time, the Landaus critical velocity also becomes zero. The existence of the non-zero normal density is attributed to the coupling between the motion of superflow and density fluctuation in transverse directions. With Josephson relation, the superfluid density $rho_s$ is also calculated and the identity $rho_s+rho_n=rho$ holds. Further more, we find that the finite normal density also results in a quantized moment of inertia in a moving superfluid trapped by a ring. The normal density and moment of inertia at zero temperature could be verified experimentally by measuring the angular momentum of a moving superfluid in a ring trap.

We report on the observation of a quenched moment of inertia as resulting from superfluidity in a strongly interacting Fermi gas. Our method is based on setting the hydrodynamic gas in slow rotation and determining its angular momentum by detecting the precession of a radial quadrupole excitation. The measurements distinguish between the superfluid or collisional origin of hydrodynamic behavior, and show the phase transition.
We discuss the superfluid properties of a Bose-Einstein condensed gas with spin-orbit coupling, recently realized in experiments. We find a finite normal fluid density $rho_n$ at zero temperature which turns out to be a function of the Raman coupling. In particular, the entire fluid becomes normal at the transition point from the zero momentum to the plane wave phase, even though the condensate fraction remains finite. We emphasize the crucial role played by the gapped branch of the elementary excitations and discuss its contributions to various sum rules. Finally, we prove that an independent definition of superfluid density $rho_s$, using the phase twist method, satisfies the equality $rho_n+rho_s=rho$, the total density, despite the breaking of Galilean invariance.
We study the critical energy dissipation in an atomic superfluid gas with two symmetric spin components by an oscillating magnetic obstacle. Above a certain critical oscillation frequency, spin-wave excitations are generated by the magnetic obstacle, demonstrating the spin superfluid behavior of the system. When the obstacle is strong enough to cause density perturbations via local saturation of spin polarization, half-quantum vortices (HQVs) are created for higher oscillation frequencies, which reveals the characteristic evolution of critical dissipative dynamics from spin-wave emission to HQV shedding. Critical HQV shedding is further investigated using a pulsed linear motion of the obstacle, and we identify two critical velocities to create HQVs with different core magnetization.
We develop the variational and correlated basis functions/parquet-diagram theory of strongly interacting normal and superfluid systems. The first part of this contribution is devoted to highlight the connections between the Euler equations for the Jastrow-Feenberg wave function on the one hand side, and the ring, ladder, and self-energy diagrams of parquet-diagram theory on the other side. We will show that these subsets of Feynman diagrams are contained, in a local approximation, in the variational wave function. In the second part of this work, we derive the fully optimized Fermi-Hypernetted Chain (FHNC-EL) equations for a superfluid system. Close examination of the procedure reveals that the naive application of these equations exhibits spurious unphysical properties for even an infinitesimal superfluid gap. We will conclude that it is essential to go {em beyond/} the usual Jastrow-Feenberg approximation and to include the exact particle-hole propagator to guarantee a physically meaningful theory and the correct stability range. We will then implement this method and apply it to neutron matter and low density Fermi liquids interacting via the Lennard-Jones model interaction and the Poschl-Teller interaction. While the quantitative changes in the magnitude of the superfluid gap are relatively small, we see a significant difference between applications for neutron matter and the Lennard-Jones and Poschl-Teller systems. Despite the fact that the gap in neutron matter can be as large as half the Fermi energy, the corrections to the gap are relatively small. In the Lennard-Jones and Poschl-Teller models, the most visible consequence of the self-consistent calculation is the change in stability range of the system.
We study a continuum model of the weakly interacting Bose gas in the presence of an external field with minima forming a triangular lattice. The second lowest band of the single-particle spectrum ($p$-band) has three minima at non-zero momenta. We consider a metastable Bose condensate at these momenta and find that, in the presence of interactions that vary slowly over the lattice spacing, the order parameter space is isomorphic to $S^{5}$. We show that the enlarged symmetry leads to the loss of topologically stable vortices, as well as two extra gapless modes with quadratic dispersion. The former feature implies that this non-Abelian condensate is a failed superfluid that does not undergo a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. Order-by-disorder splitting appears suppressed, implying that signatures of the $S^5$ manifold ought to be observable at low temperatures.
