Probing superfluidity in a quasi two-dimensional Bose gas through its local dynamics

We report direct evidence of superfluidity in a quasi two-dimensional Bose gas by observing its dynamical response to a collective excitation, the scissors mode. Relying on a novel local average analysis, we are able to probe inhomogeneous clouds and reveal their local dynamics. We identify in this...
