We study dissipation in a dilute Bose gas induced by the motion of a macroscopic object. A blue-detuned laser beam focused on the center of a trapped gas of sodium atoms was scanned both above and below the BEC transition temperature. The measurements allow for a comparison between the heating rates for the superfluid and normal gas.

Dipole Oscillations of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in the Presence of Defects and Disorder

We consider dipole oscillations of a trapped dilute Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a scattering potential consisting either in a localized defect or in an extended disordered potential. In both cases the breaking of superfluidity and the damping of the oscillations are shown to be related to the appearance of a nonlinear dissipative flow. At supersonic velocities the flow becomes asymptotically dissipationless.
