The approach is based on the idea of separating universal classical-field superfluid properties of matter from the underlying system's \"quanta.\" The text begins by deriving the general physical principles behind superfluidity\/superconductivity within the classical-field framework and provides a deep understanding of all key aspects in terms of the dynamics and statistics of a classical-field system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt proceeds by explaining how this framework emerges in realistic quantum systems, with examples that include liquid helium, high-temperature superconductors, ultra-cold atomic bosons and fermions, and nuclear matter. The book also offers several powerful modern approaches to the subject, such as functional and path integrals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprised of 15 chapters, this text: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eEstablishes the fundamental macroscopic properties of superfluids and superconductors within the paradigm of the classical matter field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeals with a single-component neutral matter field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsiders fundamentals and properties of superconductors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes new physics of superfluidity and superconductivity that arises in multicomponent systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents the quantum-field perspective on the conditions under which classical-field description is relevant in bosonic and fermionic systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces the path integral formalism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows how Feynman path integrals can be efficiently simulated with the worm algorithm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains why nonsuperfluid (insulating) ground states of regular and disordered bosons occur under appropriate conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores superfluid solids (supersolids)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the rich dynamics of vortices and various aspects of superfluid turbulence at \u003ci\u003eT \u003c\/i\u003e→0\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides account of BCS theory for the weakly interacting Fermi gas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights and analyzes the most crucial developments that has led to the current understanding of superfluidity and superconductivity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews the variety of superfluid and superconducting systems available today in nature and the laboratory, as well as the states that experimental realization is currently actively pursuing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoris Vladimirovich Svistunov\u003c\/strong\u003e received his MSc in physics in 1983 from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow, Russia.
