We consider a model of bosons on a regular lattice with a kinetic energy due to hopping among sites and a potential energy due to strong on site interaction. A superfluid phase is expected when the ground state of the local energy is doubly degenerate. We consider a new scheme of simmetry breaking associated to the superfluid phase in which the order parameter is the statistical average of the quantum coherence operator associated to the superposition of the degenerate local ground states. In the strong coupling limit a systematic expansion of the free energy can be performed in terms of the hopping amplitude at constant order parameter. Within such an expansion we obtain a self-consistent equation for the order parameter. The first order approximation gives, in the case of degeneracy between single occupied and empty state, the same result of the standard mean field approximation for the ``hard core bosons. This new approach to the superfluid phase is shown to have a natural application to the implementation of quantum computation on a superfluid.

Non-locality is a fundamental trait of quantum many-body systems, both at the level of pure states, as well as at the level of mixed states. Due to non-locality, mixed states of any two subsystems are correlated in a stronger way than what can be acc
ounted for by considering correlated probabilities of occupying some microstates. In the case of equilibrium mixed states, we explicitly build two-point quantum correlation functions, which capture the specific, superior correlations of quantum systems at finite temperature, and which are directly { accessible to experiments when correlating measurable properties}. When non-vanishing, these correlation functions rule out a precise form of separability of the equilibrium state. In particular, we show numerically that quantum correlation functions generically exhibit a finite emph{quantum coherence length}, dictating the characteristic distance over which degrees of freedom cannot be considered as separable. This coherence length is completely disconnected from the correlation length of the system -- as it remains finite even when the correlation length of the system diverges at finite temperature -- and it unveils the unique spatial structure of quantum correlations.
This paper represents the full version of a paper published earlier in Physica A [246 (1997), 275]. The present paper includes argumentation, proofs and details omitted in the shortened version. The papers are a further development of the approach in
quantum statistical mechanics proposed by the author. The hierarchy of equations for reduced density matrices obtained previously is extended to the case corresponding to the Bose-Einstein condensation. The relevant state of the system with a condensate can be superfluid as well as nonsuperfluid. Special attention is given to the thermodynamics of superfluid systems. According to the results of the papers superfluidity is the state of a fluid whose symmetry is spontaneously broken because of a stationary flow. The state corresponds to thermodynamic equilibrium while the magnitude of the flow depends upon the temperature and is determined by thermodynamic considerations. The equations obtained are solved in two simple cases. The physical origin of superfluidity, peculiarities of the phenomenon in closed volumes and the critical velocity are discussed as well.
Formation of quantum scars in many-body systems provides a novel mechanism for enhancing coherence of weakly entangled states. At the same time, coherence of edge modes in certain symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases can persist away from the
ground state. In this work we show the existence of many-body scars and their implications on bulk coherence in such an SPT phase. To this end, we study the eigenstate properties and the dynamics of an interacting spin-$1/2$ chain with three-site cluster terms hosting a $mathbb{Z}_2 times mathbb{Z}_2$ SPT phase. Focusing on the weakly interacting regime, we find that eigenstates with volume-law entanglement coexist with area-law entangled eigenstates throughout the spectrum. We show that a subset of the latter can be constructed by virtue of repeated cluster excitations on the even or odd sublattice of the chain, resulting in an equidistant tower of states, analogous to the phenomenology of quantum many-body scars. We further demonstrate that these scarred eigenstates support nonthermal expectation values of local cluster operators in the bulk and exhibit signatures of topological order even at finite energy densities. Studying the dynamics for out-of-equilibrium states drawn from the noninteracting cluster basis, we unveil that nonthermalizing bulk dynamics can be observed on long time scales if clusters on odd and even sites are energetically detuned. In this case, cluster excitations remain essentially confined to one of the two sublattices such that inhomogeneous cluster configurations cannot equilibrate and thermalization of the full system is impeded. Our work sheds light on the role of quantum many-body scars in preserving SPT order at finite temperature and the possibility of coherent bulk dynamics in models with SPT order beyond the existence of long-lived edge modes.
There is a long standing problem about how close a connection exists between superfluidity and Bose condensation. Employing recent technology, for the case of confined finite Bose condensed systems in TOP traps, these questions concerning superfluidi
ty and Bose condensation can be partially resolved if the velocity profile of the trapped atoms can be directly measured.
We investigate the emergence of quantum scars in a general ensemble of random Hamiltonians (of which the PXP is a particular realization), that we refer to as quantum local random networks. We find two types of scars, that we call stochastic and stat
istical. We identify specific signatures of the localized nature of these eigenstates by analyzing a combination of indicators of quantum ergodicity and properties related to the network structure of the model. Within this parallelism, we associate the emergence of statistical scars to the presence of motifs in the network, that reflects how these are associated to links with anomalously small connectivity (as measured, e.g., by their betweenness). Most remarkably, statistical scars appear at well-defined values of energy, predicted solely on the base of network theory. We study the scaling of the number of statistical scars with system size: below a threshold connectivity, we find that the number of statistical scars increases with system size. This allows to the define the concept of statistical stability of quantum scars.
