Unified hydrodynamics for density and spin supersolids
Two-component supersolids can exhibit in-phase or out-of-phase component density modulations, corresponding to density and spin supersolids, respectively. We formulate a general hydrodynamic theory for the collective dynamics of multicomponent supersolids, guided by their broken symmetries and conservation laws. We benchmark it against microscopic calculations for a binary dipolar condensate confined to an infinite tube, finding quantitative agreement for the sound speeds of all three Goldstone branches throughout the density- and spin-supersolid regions. The resulting relations link collective-mode measurements to elastic coefficients and superfluid fractions.
