Quantum liquids in confined geometries exhibit a large variety of new and interesting phenomena. For example, the internal structure of the liquid becomes more pronounced than in bulk liquids when the motion of the particles is restricted by an external matrix. Also, free quantum liquid droplets enable the study of the interaction of atoms and molecules with an external field without complications arising from interactions with container walls. This volume assembles review articles that present the status of frontline research in this field in a manner that should be accessible to the...

What makes atomic nuclei and neutron stars so similar both to domestic electricity and to stained glass in cathedrals? The answer to this surprising question lies in the unifying concept of quantum fluids, which allows one to understand the behavior and properties of such different systems in simple terms. Quantum mechanics, often considered to be restricted to the microscopic world, in fact plays a crucial role at all scales of the universe. This book introduces the reader to the fascinating and multifaceted world of quantum fluids. Suitable for all levels of reader from undergraduate...
