چکیده
Building on a general variational framework for multi-fluid dynamics, we discuss finite temperature effects in superfluids. The main aim is to provide insight into the modelling of more complex finite temperature superfluid systems, like the mixed neutron superfluid/proton superconductor that is expected in the outer core of a neutron star. Our final results can also (to a certain extent) be used to describe colour-flavour locked quark superconductors that may be present at the extreme densities in the deep neutron star core. As a demonstration of the validity of the model, which is based on treating the excitations in the system as a massless “entropy” fluid, we show that it is formally equivalent to the traditional two-fluid approach for superfluid Helium. In particular, we highlight the fact that the entropy entrainment encodes the “normal fluid density” of the traditional approach. We also show how the superfluid constraint of irrotationality reduces the number of dissipation coefficients in the system. This analysis provides insight into the more general problem when vortices are present in the superfluid, and we discuss how the so-called mutual friction force can be accounted for in our framework. The end product is a hydrodynamic formalism for finite temperature effects in a single superfluid condensate. This framework can readily be extended to more complex situations.

متن کاملSpreading of correlations and entanglement after a quench in the Bose-Hubbard model
We investigate the spreading of information in a Bose-Hubbard system after a sudden parameter change. In particular, we study the time-evolution of correlations and entanglement following a quench. The investigated quantities show a light-cone like evolution, i.e. the spreading with a finite velocity. We discuss the relation of this veloctiy to other characteristic velocities of the system, lik...
