Phasetransitions in Quantum fluids: PIMC - Studies — •Guido Günther and Peter Nielaba — Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik, Fachbereich Physik, Universität Konstanz, D-78457 Konstanz

Exploiting path integral Monte Carlo methods we studied the behavior of the fluid phase of quantum mechanical hard sphere- and disk- systems.

We focused on the superfluid phase transition of Bose systems analyzing, among other quantities, the superfluid fraction which in periodic boundary conditions is related to the winding number of the Trotter-chains [0].
