We explore superfluidity for ⁴He confined in a porous glass which has nanopores of 2.5 nm in diameter, at pressures up to 5 MPa. With increasing pressure, the superfluidity is drastically suppressed, and the superfluid transition temperature approaches 0 K at Pc = 3.5 MPa. The features strongly suggest that the extreme confinement of ⁴He into the nanopores induces a quantum phase transition from superfluid to nonsuperfluid at 0 K, and at Pc.
