Preface
This book introduces the theoretical description and properties of quantum fluids. The focus is on gaseous atomic Bose–Einstein condensates and, to a minor extent, superfluid helium, but the underlying concepts are relevant to other forms of quantum fluids such as polariton and photonic condensates. The book is pitc
