Colloquium: Supersolids: What and where are they?
Open accessAbstract
The ongoing experimental and theoretical effort aimed at understanding nonclassical rotational inertia in solid helium has sparked renewed interest in the supersolid phase of matter, its microscopic origin and character, and its experimental detection. The purpose of this Colloquium is to provide a general theoretical framework for the phenomenon of supersolidity, review some of the experimental evidence for solid $^{4}\mathrm{He}$, and discuss its possible interpretation in terms of physical effects underlain by extended defects (such as dislocations). Quantitative support to our theoretical scenarios by means of first-principle numerical simulations is provided. Alternate avenues for the observation of the supersolid phase, not involving helium but rather assemblies of ultracold atoms, are also discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
