In superfluid $^3$He-B externally pumped quantized spin-wave excitations or magnons spontaneously form a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 3-dimensional trap created with the order-parameter texture and a shallow minimum in the polarizing field. The condensation is manifested by coherent precession of the magnetization with a common frequency in a large volume. The trap shape is controlled by the profile of the applied magnetic field and by the condensate itself via the spin-orbit interaction. The trapping potential can be experimentally determined with the spectroscopy of the magnon levels in the trap. We have measured the decay of the ground state condensates after switching off the pumping in the temperature range $(0.14div 0.2)T_{mathrm{c}}$. Two contributions to the relaxation are identified: (1) spin-diffusion with the diffusion coefficient proportional to the density of thermal quasiparticles and (2) the approximately temperature-independent radiation damping caused by the losses in the NMR pick-up circuit. The measured dependence of the relaxation on the shape of the trapping potential is in a good agreement with our calculations based on the magnetic field profile and the magnon-modified texture. Our values for the spin diffusion coefficient at low temperatures agree with the theoretical prediction and earlier measurements at temperatures above $0.5T_{mathrm{c}}$.

Andreev reflection of quasiparticle excitations from quantized line vortices is reviewed in the isotropic B phase of superfluid $^3$He in the temperature regime of ballistic quasiparticle transport at $T leq 0.20,T_mathrm{c}$. The reflection from an array of rectilinear vortices in solid-body rotation is measured with a quasiparticle beam illuminating the array mainly in the orientation along the rotation axis. The result is in agreement with the calculated Andreev reflection. The Andreev signal is also used to analyze the spin down of the superfluid component after a sudden impulsive stop of rotation from an equilibrium vortex state. In a measuring setup where the rotating cylinder has a rough bottom surface, annihilation of the vortices proceeds via a leading rapid turbulent burst followed by a trailing slow laminar decay from which the mutual friction dissipation can be determined. In contrast to currently accepted theory, mutual friction is found to have a finite value in the zero temperature limit: $alpha (T rightarrow 0) = (5 pm 0.5) cdot 10^{-4}$.
In this Letter we discussed the parametric instability of texture of homogeneous (in time) spin precession, explaining how spatial inhomogeneity of the texture may change the threshold of the instability in comparison with idealized spatial homogeneo us case, considered in our JETP Letter textbf{83}, 530 (2006), cond-mat/0605386. This discussion is inspired by critical Comment of I.A. Fomin (cond-mat/0606760) related to the above questions. In addition we considered here results of direct numerical simulations of the full Leggett-Takagi equation of motion for magnetization in superfluid 3He-B and experimental data for magnetic field dependence of the catastrophic relaxation, that provide solid support of the theory of this phenomenon, presented in our 2006 JETP Letter.

The superfluid $^3$He B phase, one of the oldest unconventional fermionic condensates experimentally realized, is recently predicted to support Majorana fermion surface states. Majorana fermion, which is characterized by the equivalence of particle a nd antiparticle, has a linear dispersion relation referred to as the Majorana cone. We measured the transverse acoustic impedance $Z$ of the superfluid$^3$He B phase changing its boundary condition and found a growth of peak in $Z$ on a higher specularity wall. Our theoretical analysis indicates that the variation of $Z$ is induced by the formation of the cone-like dispersion relation and thus confirms the important feature of the Majorana fermion in the specular limit.
Gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have become an important test bed for studying the dynamics of quantized vortices. In this work we use two-photon Doppler sensitive Bragg scattering to study the rotation of sodium BECs. We analyze the microsc opic flow field and present laboratory measurements of the coarse-grained velocity profile. Unlike time-of-flight imaging, Bragg scattering is sensitive to the direction of rotation and therefore to the phase of the condensate. In addition, we have non-destructively probed the vortex flow field using a sequence of two Bragg pulses.

For spin one atoms localized in a quadrapole magnetic field gradient, the atoms may be impeded from spin flipping their way out from the center of the trap by the application of a rotating uniform magnetic field. From a quantum mechanical viewpoint, such a trap for a Bose condensate is equivalent to having a superfluid in a rotating bucket. Vorticity is then expected to be induced in the condensate fluid flow without the application of any further external perturbations.
