Superfluidity of an interacting trapped quasi-two-dimensional Bose gas

We investigate the harmonically trapped interacting Bose gas in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry using the classical field method. The system exhibits quasi-long-range order and nonclassical rotational inertia at temperatures below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless crossover to the superfluid state. In particular, we compute the scissors-mode oscillation frequencies and find that the irrotational mode changes its frequency as the temperature is swept across the crossover thus providing microscopic evidence for the emergence of superfluidity.
