  • The image shows two differently colored quantum superfluids—blue and yellow—being pushed together by magnetic fields, forming mushroom-shaped plumes that resemble explosion clouds before breaking into turbulence.

    When Superfluids Collide, Physicists Find a Mix of Old and New

    November 18, 2025

    Ian Spielman, Gretchen Campbell, Yanda Geng and Junheng Tao show that mixing two Bose-Einstein condensate superfluids can mimic classical fluid patterns while exposing hidden quantum currents.

  • Brown ink on a tan background shows water flowing into a pool and forming swirling patterns.

    Mysteriously Mundane Turbulence Revealed in 2D Superfluid

    April 21, 2025

    RQS senior investigator Ian Spielman, working with two postdocs, has introduced a tool for measuring velocities in a Bose-Einstein superfluid and applied it to studying superfluid turbulence.
