The difficulty of such systems in exhibiting long range order is integral to their effective description in terms of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid theory. Recently, it has been proposed that bosonic superfluid 4He could realize a 1D quantum system beyond the Luttinger liquid paradigm. Here we describe an experimental observation of this behavior using nanoengineering by preplating a porous material with a noble gas to enhance dimensional reduction. The resulting excitations of the confined 4He are qualitatively different than 3D and 2D superfluid helium, and can be analyzed in terms of a mobile impurity in a Luttinger liquid allowing for the characterization of the emergent quantum liquid. The confined helium system offers the possibility of tuning via pressure - from weakly interacting, all the way to the super Tonks-Girardeau gas of strongly interacting hard-core particles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-22T18:21:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensional helium", "experimental realization", "confined helium system offers", "emergent quantum liquid", "ultracold low-density gasses" ], "tags": [ "github project" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
