Overview of class

Superfluidity is a phenomena occurring widely in nature. Systems displaying superfluid effects include: trapped cold gases, the liquid helium isotopes, metallic superconductors, atomic nuclei, and neutron stars. Even the universe can be viewed as being a member of this family. We will review various superfluid effects together with the underlying physics leading to these effects.
