supersolids unveiling an extraordinary quantum phase of matter

supersolids are a paradoxical quantum phase of matter that combines the properties of superfluids and crystals searched for long time in quantum solids and many other systems recently we discovered a novel cluster phase in a quantum gas of magnetic atoms which realizes a supersolid however the limited size the inhomogeneity and the lack of appropriate detection methods have allowed so far to assess only very basic properties of supersolids here i propose an innovative densityphase microscope and original ideas that combine the best of matterwave and condensedmatter methods to unveil the extraordinary properties of supersolids with a twolayer superfluidsupersolid configuration we will measure both density and phase of the supersolid with controllable optical potentials we will realize large homogeneous crystal geometries in 1d and 2d with highresolution optical addressing we will manipulate locally the wavefunction e g creating phase patterns or force fields and we will follow the local dynamics our main goal is to explore fundamental properties that are largely unknown even theoretically variable superfluid density under rotation variable angular momentum of quantized vortices dissipationless deformation of the crystal josephson effect without barriers quantum entanglement properties we will also attempt the realization of new types of supersolid to prove the generality of the phenomena with coupled supersolid layers we will move towards supersolidity in 3d using a quasi2d environment we will attempt to realize two proposed types of strongly interacting and strongly correlated supersolidsour work will establish connections between supersolids and other patterned quantum phases such as pairdensity waves in superconductors and in helium superfluids intertwined phases in lowdimensional superfluids and pasta phases in neutron stars our work might open directions for the realization of materials with novel functionalities
