Physics of a Superfluid Solid

Anderson, Philip

Original · EN

The question of whether a Bose solid has a superfluid fraction is discussed. We confirm and expand on the remark of Chester that quantum fluctuations make this inevitable, roughly estimate its magnitude, and show that true rigid rotation depends on the generation of vortex defects. We also suggest a model wave-function for the superfluid solid.
