Hydrodynamics provides a successful framework to effectively describe the dynamics of complex many-body systems ranging from subnuclear to cosmological scales by introducing macroscopic quantities such as particle densities and fluid velocities. According to textbook knowledge, it requires coarse graining over microscopic constituents to define a macroscopic fluid cell, which is large compared to the interparticle spacing and the mean free path. In addition, the entire system must consist of many such fluid cells. In high energy heavy ion collisions, hydrodynamic behaviour is inferred from the observation of elliptic flow. Here, we demonstrate the emergence of elliptic flow in a system of few strongly interacting atoms. In our system a hydrodynamic description is a priori not applicable, as all relevant length scales, i.e. the system size, the inter-particle spacing, and the mean free path are comparable. The single particle resolution, deterministic control over particle number and interaction strength in our experiment allow us to explore the boundaries between a microscopic description and a hydrodynamic framework in unprecedented detail.

  1. Superfluids in expanding backgrounds and attractor times

    hep-ph 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Out-of-equilibrium superfluids in Bjorken, Gubser and FLRW flows reach hydrodynamic attractors after an initial-condition-dependent attractor time, with a novel nonlinear constant-anisotropy regime in Gubser evolution.

  2. Gaussian non relativistic spontaneously stochastic hydrodynamics

    physics.flu-dyn 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper proposes that non-relativistic incompressible hydrodynamics is the infrared limit of a Gaussian stochastic theory, with compressible-scale counterterms generating spontaneous stochasticity and anomalous dissipation.

  3. Yoctosecond imaging of the ground state of $^{129}$Xe at the Large Hadron Collider

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bayesian global fit to Xe-Xe and Pb-Pb LHC data infers nearly maximal triaxiality for the 129Xe ground state and extracts two- and three-particle correlations.

  4. Fermi-liquid view of viscosity in cold and dense nucleon matter

    nucl-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a quasiparticle Fermi liquid with medium-dependent mass, imposing Landau matching makes the bulk viscosity manifestly non-negative and parametrically smaller than shear viscosity at low temperature, ζ/η ∝ (T/μ*)⁴.

    A conditional probability framework derives Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics plus conservation-induced covariances from saddle-point marginals, then uses orthogonal projections to isolate co...
