Researchers have used field-theoretic simulations to model the thermodynamic behavior of octagonal quantum quasicrystals, confirming they maintain a 50% superfluid fraction at low temperatures. This work provides critical theoretical groundwork for realizing supersolid states in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates and clarifies the abrupt first-order transition into hexagonal crystalline phases occurring around intermediate thermal regimes.
How Field Theory Maps Melting of a Quantum Quasicrystal

Using field-theoretic numerical simulations, researchers explored the 50% superfluid fraction observed in a quantum quasicrystal, revealing potential supersolid character.
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research have mapped the thermodynamic behavior of a quantum quasicrystal, revealing a surprising degree of fluidity within its solid structure. Simulations employing a boson…
