Path Integral Quantum Monte Carlo Study of Coupling and Proximity Effects in Superfluid Helium-4
When bulk helium-4 is cooled below T = 2.18 K, it undergoes a phase transition to a superfluid, characterized by a complex wave function with a macroscopic phase and exhibits inviscid, quantized flow. The macroscopic phase coherence can be probed in a container filled with helium-4, by reducing one...
