Superfluid 3He has a rich spectrum of collective modes with both massive and massless excitations. The masses of these modes can be precisely measured using acoustic spectroscopy and fit to theoretical models. Prior comparisons of the experimental results with theory did not include strong-coupling effects beyond the weak-coupling-plus BCS model, so-called non-trivial strong-coupling corrections. In this work we utilize recent strong-coupling calculations to determine the Higgs masses and find consistency between experiments that relate them to a sub-dominant $f$-wave pairing strength.

Superfluid 3He is an unconventional neutral superfluid in a p-wave state with three different superfluid phases each identified by a unique set of characteristic broken symmetries and non- trivial topology. Despite natural immunity of 3He from defect
s and impurity of any kind, it has been found that they can be artificially introduced with high porosity silica aerogel. Furthermore, it has been shown that this modified quantum liquid becomes a superfluid with remarkably sharp thermodynamic transitions from the normal state and between its various phases. They include new superfluid phases that are stabilized by anisotropy from uniform strain imposed on the silica aerogel framework and they include new phenomena in a new class of anisotropic aerogels consisting of nematically ordered alumina strands. The study of superfluid 3He in the presence of correlated, quenched disorder from aerogel, serves as a model for understanding the effect of impurities on the symmetry and topology of unconventional superconductors.
The discovery of superfluidity in 3He in 1971, published in 1972, [1, 2] has influenced a wide range of investigations that extend well beyond fermionic superfluids, including electronic quantum ma- terials, ultra-cold gases and degenerate neutron ma
tter. Observation of thermodynamic transitions from the 3He Fermi liquid to two other liquid phases, A and B-phases, along the melting curve of liquid and solid 3He, discovered by Osheroff, Richardson, and Lee, were the very first indications of 3He superfluidity leading to their Nobel prize in 1996. This is a brief retrospective specifically focused on the AB transition.
We study theoretically planar interfaces between two domains of superfluid 3He-B. The structure of the B-B walls is determined on the scale of the superfluid condensation energy, and thus the domain walls have thickness on the order of the Ginzburg-L
andau coherence length. We study the stability and decay schemes of five inequivalent structures of such domain walls using one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau simulation. We find that only one of the structures is stable against small perturbations. We also argue that B-B interfaces could result from adiabatic A to B transition and study textures at B-B interfaces. The B-B interface has a strong orienting effect on spin-orbit rotation producing textures similar as caused by external walls. We study the B-B interface in a parallel-plate geometry and find that the conservation of spin current sets an essential condition on the structure. The stable B-B interface gives rise to half-quantum circulation.
It is established theoretically that an ordered state with continuous symmetry is inherently unstable to arbitrarily small amounts of disorder [1, 2]. This principle is of central importance in a wide variety of condensed systems including supercondu
cting vortices [3, 4], Ising spin models [5] and their dynamics [6], and liquid crystals in porous media [7, 8], where some degree of disorder is ubiquitous, although its experimental observation has been elusive. Based on these ideas it was predicted [9] that 3He in high porosity aerogel would become a superfluid glass. We report here our nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on 3He in aerogel demonstrating destruction of long range orientational order of the intrinsic superfluid orbital angular momentum, confirming the existence of a superfluid glass. In contrast, 3He-A generated by warming from superfluid 3He-B has perfect long-range orientational order providing a mechanism for switching off this effect.
In recent work it was shown that new anisotropic p-wave states of superfluid 3He can be stabilized within high porosity silica aerogel under uniform positive strain [1]. In contrast, the equilibrium phase in an unstrained aerogel, is the isotropic su
perfluid B-phase [2]. Here we report that this phase stability depends on the sign of the strain. For negative strain of ~20% achieved by compression, the B-phase can be made more stable than the anisotropic A-phase resulting in a tricritical point for A, B, and normal phases with a critical field of ~100 mT. From pulsed NMR measurements we identify these phases and the orientation of the angular momentum.
