Colloquium: Quantum crystallizations of ${}^{4}{He}$ in superfluid far from equilibrium

Bosonic helium is one of the most quantum mechanical materials ever studied in physics. It shows the famous Bose-Einstein condensation at extremely low temperatures. Although the equilibrium properties of boson liquids are now well understood, little is known about their nonequilibrium properties, especially the interfacial properties between superfluid and crystal phases far from equilibrium. In this Colloquium nonequilibrium crystal shapes in superfluid are discussed based on high-speed visualization techniques and the challenges related to the theoretical interpretation of the interfacial dynamics are presented.
