High-energy scattering spectroscopy is a widely-established technique for probing the characteristic properties of complex physical systems. Motivated by the recent observation of long-sought supersolid states in dipolar quantum Bose gases, I investigate the general relationships existing between the density contrast, the superfluid fraction, and the response to a high-energy scattering probe of density-modulated states within a classical-field approach. I focus on the two extreme regimes of shallow and deep supersolids, which are of particular interest in describing the phase transitions of the supersolid to a uniform superfluid and an incoherent crystal state, respectively. Using relevant Ansatze for the fields of dipolar supersolid states in these regimes, I specify and illustrate the scaling laws relating the three observables. This work was first prompted to develop an intuitive understanding of a concomitant study based on experiments and mean-field numerical simulations. Beyond this specific application, this works provides a simple and general framework to describe density-modulated states, and in particular the intriguing case of supersolids. It describes key properties characterizing the supersolid order and highlights new possibilities for probing such properties based on high-energy scattering response.

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the high-energy excitation spectra of a dipolar supersolid. Using Bragg spectroscopy, we study the scattering response of the system to a high-energy probe, enabling measurements of the dynamic stru
cture factor. We experimentally observe a continuous reduction of the response when tuning the contact interaction from an ordinary Bose-Einstein condensate to a supersolid state. Yet the observed reduction is faster than the one theoretically predicted by the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes theory. Based on an intuitive semi-analytic model and real-time simulations, we primarily attribute such a discrepancy to the out-of-equilibrium phase dynamics, which although not affecting the system global coherence, reduces its response.
Atomic Fermi gases provide an ideal platform for studying the pairing and superfluid physics, using a Feshbach resonance between closed channel molecular states and open channel scattering states. Of particular interest is the strongly interacting re
gime. We show that the closed-channel fraction $Z$ provides an effective probe for the important many-body interacting effects, especially through its density dependence, which is absent from two-body theoretical predictions. Here we measure $Z$ as a function of interaction strength and the Fermi temperature $T_F$ in a trapped $^6$Li superfluid throughout the entire BCS--BEC crossover. Away from the deep BEC regime, the fraction $Z$ is sensitive to $T_F$. In particular, our data show $Z propto T_F^{alpha}$ with $alpha=1/2$ at unitarity, in quantitative agreement with calculations of a two-channel pairing fluctuation theory, and $alpha$ increases rapidly into the BCS regime, reflecting many-body interaction effects as predicted.
In this paper, we study the dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model with the nearest-neighbor repulsion by using time-dependent Gutzwiller methods. Near the unit filling, the phase diagram of the model contains density wave (DW), supersolid (SS) and super
fluid (SF). The three phases are separated by two second-order phase transitions. We study slow-quench dynamics by varying the hopping parameter in the Hamiltonian as a function of time. In the phase transitions from the DW to SS and from the DW to SF, we focus on how the SF order forms and study scaling laws of the SF correlation length, vortex density, etc. The results are compared with the Kibble-Zurek scaling. On the other hand from the SF to DW, we study how the DW order evolves with generation of the domain walls and vortices. Measurement of first-order SF coherence reveals interesting behavior in the DW regime.
Recently there has been renewed interest in second sound in superfluid Bose and Fermi gases. By using two-fluid hydrodynamic theory, we review the density response $chi_{nn}(bq,omega)$ of these systems as a tool to identify second sound in experiment
s based on density probes. Our work generalizes the well-known studies of the dynamic structure factor $S(bq,omega)$ in superfluid $^4$He in the critical region. We show that, in the unitary limit of uniform superfluid Fermi gases, the relative weight of second vs. first sound in the compressibility sum rule is given by the Landau--Placzek ratio $lpequiv (bar{c}_p-bar{c}_v)/bar{c}_v$ for all temperatures below $T_c$. In contrast to superfluid $^4$He, $lp$ is much larger in strongly interacting Fermi gases, being already of order unity for $T sim 0.8 T_c$, thereby providing promising opportunities to excite second sound with density probes. The relative weights of first and second sound are quite different in $S(bq,omega)$ (measured in pulse propagation studies) as compared to $mathrm{Im}chi_{nn}(bq,omega)$ (measured in two-photon Bragg scattering). We show that first and second sound in $S(bq,omega)$ in a strongly interacting Bose-condensed gas are similar to those in a Fermi gas at unitarity. However, in a weakly interacting Bose gas, first and second sound are mainly uncoupled oscillations of the thermal cloud and condensate, respectively, and second sound has most of the spectral weight in $S(bq,omega)$. We also discuss the behaviour of the superfluid and normal fluid velocity fields involved in first and second sound.
We investigate quantum turbulence in a two-dimensional trapped supersolid and demonstrate that both the wave and vortex turbulence involve triple rather than dual cascades, as in a superfluid. Because of the presence of a second gapless mode associat
ed with translation symmetry breaking, a new $k^{-13/3}$ scaling law is predicted to occur in the wave turbulence. Simultaneous fast vortex-antivortex creation and annihilation in the interior of the oscillating supersolid results in a $k^{-1}$ scaling law in the vortex turbulence. Numerical simulations based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation confirmed the predictions.
