Transport properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable interactions in the presence of a disordered or single defect potential

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have proven to be remarkable systems with which to study some of the foundational models of condensed matter physics. The observation of a critical velocity for the breakdown of superfluidity in a BEC and the superfluid to Mott insulator transition observed in a BEC...
