This has both the crystal structure of a solid and the properties of a superfluid, a quantum fluid that can flow without friction. We show that an established method for forming supersolids in a one-dimensional crystal&#8211;by tuning how the particles interact with one another&#8211;fails to reach supersolidity in two dimensions. However, by developing a new theoretical technique we demonstrate that cooling a gas of magnetic atoms directly into the supersolid regime is a viable method for creating two-dimensional supersolids in round, pancake-shaped traps. This leads us to the experimental observation of the first supersolid in a round trap, and opens the door to future theoretical studies of the crystal growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can find out more about this in <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.aps.org\/prl\/abstract\/10.1103\/PhysRevLett.128.195302\">our paper<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our paper on supersolid formation in 2D is now published in PRL!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[39,42],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50320"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50320"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50331,"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50320\/revisions\/50331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
