Anisotropic QCD Superfluids

Abstract

We discuss two instances of anisotropic ordered quantum phases within QCD at finite baryon densities: (1) Fermionic deconfined three-color QCD matter with a spin one quark-quark Cooper pair condensate can exhibit distinct quantum i.e. low-temperature (T ) behaviors on macroscopic scales which bona fide can be observed in neutron stars. (2) Bosonic confined two-color QCD matter with a Bose-Einstein condensate of spin-one baryons can exhibit distinct quantum i.e. low-T behaviors on macroscopic scales which can bona fide be observed in numerical lattice experiments.

Color Superconductivity in Two- and Three-Flavor Systems at Moderate Densities

“…This interesting possibility has recently been analyzed in Ref. [23] and will be discussed in more detail in Jiří Hošek's contribution [35].…”
