Aim of course

Introduction to Superfluidity -- Field-theoretical approach and applications: understanding of basic properties of superfluids and superconductors, in a phenomenological and also in a more fundamental sense; field-theoretical treatment of bosonic and fermionic superfluids and applications to problems in present research

Subject of course

Superfluid helium; two-fluid model; basics of the hydrodynamics of a superfluid; first and second sound in superfluids; Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity in a scalar field theory; Cooper pairing and BCS theory; Meissner mass in a superconductor; BCS-BEC crossover; Goldstone mode in a fermionic superfluid; Cooper pairing of fermions with mismatched Fermi momenta
