Description
We construct a description of hydrodynamics and superfluidity for a class of strongly coupled conformal (quantum critical) systems within the framework of gauge/gravity duality (holographic duality). We first review the basic idea of holographic duality and the state-of-the-art results on holographic superfluids, which are dual to black holes with thermal horizons. We then extend these results to smooth microstate geometries. In a particular setup of AdS bubbling geometries we compute the diffusion coefficient and viscosity and compare them to universal bounds for black holes. Finally, we discuss possible applications to astrophysical systems.
