• Abstract: Recent experiments on the coupling of the in-plane motional state of electrons floating on the surface of liquid helium to a microwave resonator have revealed the importance of helium surface fluctuations to the coherence of this motion. Here we investigate these surface fluctuations by studying the resonance properties of a superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator filled with superfluid helium, where a significant fraction of the resonator's electromagnetic mode volume is coupled to the surface dynamics of the liquid. We present preliminary results on real-time CPW resonator frequency shifts driven by helium fluctuations, which are quantified via their power spectral density and compared with measurements using a commercial accelerometer. We find that a considerable contribution to the CPW resonator noise originates from the mechanical vibrations of the helium surface generated by the pulse tube (PT) cryocooler on the cryostat on which the experiments were performed.

  Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.
