Density Fluctuations across the Superfluid-Supersolid Phase Transition in a Dipolar Quantum Gas
Phase transitions share the universal feature of enhanced fluctuations near the transition point. Here, we show that density fluctuations reveal how a Bose-Einstein condensate of dipolar atoms spontaneously breaks its translation symmetry and enters the supersolid state of matter—a phase that combin...
