We study the instability of a mixture of two interacting counter-flowing superfluids. For a homogeneous system, we show that superfluid hydrodynamics leads to the existence of a dynamical instability at a critical value of the relative velocity $v_{cr}$. When the interspecies coupling is small the critical value approaches the value $v_{cr}=c_1+c_2$, given by the sum of the sound velocities of the two uncoupled superfluids, in agreement with the recent prediction of [1] based on Landaus argument. The crucial dependence of the critical velocity on the interspecies coupling is explicitly discussed. Our results agree with previous predictions for weakly interacting Bose-Bose mixtures and applies to Bose-Fermi superfluid mixtures as well. Results for the stability of transversally trapped mixtures are also presented.

We study theoretically nonlinear dynamics induced by shear-flow instability in segregated two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in terms of the Weber number, defined by extending the past theory on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in classical flui
ds. Numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations demonstrate that dynamics of pattern formation is well characterized by the Weber number $We$, clarifying the microscopic aspects unique to the quantum fluid system. For $We lesssim 1$, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability induces flutter-finger patterns of the interface and quantized vortices are generated at the tip of the fingers. The associated nonlinear dynamics exhibits a universal behavior with respect to $We$. When $We gtrsim 1$ in which the interface thickness is larger than the wavelength of the interface mode, the nonlinear dynamics is effectively initiated by the counter-superflow instability. In a strongly segregated regime and a large relative velocity, the instability causes transient zipper pattern formation instead of generating vortices due to the lack of enough circulation to form a quantized vortex per a finger. While, in a weakly segregating regime and a small relative velocity, the instability leads to sealskin pattern in the overlapping region, in which the frictional relaxation of the superflow cannot be explained only by the homogeneous counter-superflow instability. We discuss the details of the linear and nonlinear characteristics of this dynamical crossover from small to large Weber numbers, where microscopic properties of the interface become important for the large Weber number.
The superfluid mixture of interacting Bose and Fermi species is a remarkable many-body quantum system. Dilute degenerate atomic gases, especially for two species of distinct masses, are excellent candidates for exploring fundamental features of super
fluid mixture. However, producing a mass-imbalance Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture, providing an unambiguous visual proof of two-species superfluidity and probing inter-species interaction effects remain challenging. Here, we report the realization of a two-species superfluid of lithium-6 and potassium-41. By rotating the dilute gases, we observe the simultaneous existence of vortex lattices in both species, and thus present a definitive visual evidence for the simultaneous superfluidity of the two species. Pronounced effects of the inter-species interaction are demonstrated through a series of precision measurements on the formation and decay of two-species vortices. Our system provides a new platform for studying novel macroscopic quantum phenomena in vortex matter of interacting species.
We study particle number fluctuations in the quantum ground states of a mixture of two spin-1 atomic condensates when the interspecies spin-exchange coupling interaction $c_{12}beta$ is adjusted. The two spin-1 condensates forming the mixture are res
pectively ferromagnetic and polar in the absence of an external magnetic (B-) field. We categorize all possible ground states using the angular momentum algebra and compute their characteristic atom number fluctuations, focusing especially on the the AA phase (when $ c_{12}beta >0$), where the ground state becomes fragmented and atomic number fluctuations exhibit drastically different features from a single stand alone spin-1 polar condensate. Our results are further supported by numerical simulations of the full quantum many-body system.
We report on the formation of heteronuclear quantum droplets in an attractive bosonic mixture of 41K and 87Rb. We observe long-lived self-bound states, both in free space and in an optical waveguide. In the latter case, the dynamics under the effect
of a species-dependent force confirms their bound nature. By tuning the interactions from the weakly to the strongly attractive regime, we study the transition from expanding to localized states, in both geometries. We compare the experimental results with beyond mean-field theory and we find a good agreement in the full range of explored interactions. Our findings open up the production of long-lived droplets with important implications for further research.
A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime and neither whirlpools nor waves form around the obstacle. For higher flow velocities, it has been
predicted that the perturbation induced by the defect gives rise to the turbulent emission of quantised vortices and to the nucleation of solitons. Using an interacting Bose gas of exciton-polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity, we report the transition from superfluidity to the hydrodynamic formation of oblique dark solitons and vortex streets in the wake of a potential barrier. The direct observation of these topological excitations provides key information on the mechanisms of superflow and shows the potential of polariton condensates for quantum turbulence studies.
