Lev Pitaeveskii, to whom this talk is dedicated, always had the passion for superfluid phenomena, to which he gave fundamental contributions either before and after the experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases. In this presentation I will discuss some recent results concerning the consequences of the breaking of translational invariance on the superfluid fraction...
Among the many topics to which Lev Pitaevskii has made an essential contribution, solitons occupy a central place. Lev explored many facets of their properties, such as the physical characterization of their mass, momentum and equation of motion [1]. In this talk, we will briefly review some types of solitons that have been observed in the context of quantum gases, before focusing on "magnetic...
With this commemorative talk, we pay tribute to the exceptional life and profound scientific contributions of Lev Pitaevskii, a world-leading scientist and mentor. The presentation provides a sincere reflection on his remarkable academic and scientific journey, encompassing significant milestones from writing a letter to Lev Landau in his youth, entering doctoral studies in Landau´s group,...
