Stanford University Team Models Many-Body Effects for Turbulent Quantum Hydrodynamics

Scientists led by Sayak Bhattacharjee at Stanford University, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Stockholm University, University of Connecticu, are presenting a new understanding of quantum turbulence in superfluids. The study moves beyond traditional mean-field theories to explore many-body effects at extremely low temperatures, offering a condensed-matter perspective on turbulent hydrodynamics. This research focuses on systems like ultracold atoms and holds potential implications for the development of quantum computing platforms. The findings address fundamental questions about quantum turbulence and propose avenues for utilising modern quantum many-body techniques…
