Description
Phase transitions in superfluids and superconductors display fascinating variety of universality classes, depending on substrate structure such as dimensionality and disorder. Recent additions to the experimentally superfluid family are cold atoms in optical lattices and possibly He-4 supersolids. I will review ongoing work to model such systems from computer simulations, and describe a new analysis approach.
