A complete Microscopic Theory of Superfluid He II was developed by Dr. Zheng-Johansson (ZJ) since 1998, as a post doc work at the H H Wills Physics Lab., Bristol University, UK, position funded by the Swedish Natural Science Council. The initial realization of the need for a more consistent superfuid theory, the superior confidence ZJ felt, the background knowledge, work had benefited from many enlightening discussions with Dr J Wilson on new theory directions of superconductivity while ZJ was working on theoretical high Tc superconductivity, a research direction introduced by Prof. B Gyorffy; the work has been conducted in a atmosphere of supports from many colleagues.
In later 1998, Dr. Zheng-Johansson first publicly presented the theory[7] at a
seminar at the Cavendish Lab, Since the development of the theory a number of international specialists in liquid helium and condensed matter physics have communicated valuable discussions over the subject, many of them have given invaluable encouragements. One referee report from an international leading journal in the field states that "The authors include more of the underlying physics than some earlier theories, and the comparisons they make with experimental data are satisfactory.”

The QCE Superfluidity Mechanism[1-7]:
The mechanism for the occurrence of superfluidity in He II has been a long-standing problem, and is provided with an answer through our finding of a QCE Superfluidity Mechanism. In this finding we show from a first principles solution that the superfluidity, or frictionless flow, of He II results from a reduction in the number of phonon excitation states N2(w) to a level which is negligibly low when the fluid is confined e.g. to a narrow channel of width d. This results from a K quantization, being a quantum confinement effect (QCE). The critical velocity is predicted to be vc (d)= [48 h c1 a/m]1/2 (1/d) for d >10-5 m, and is for lower d values reduced by a factor f=1/\sqrt{1+ (d_0/d)^u owing to fluid-wall van der Waals attraction, where c1 is first sound velocity, a interatomic spacing and $m$ $^4$He mass. The velocity function vc (d) agrees satisfactorily with experimental data for all $d$ values. The QCE Superfluidity Mechanism is an inseparable part of a complete consistent Microscopic Theory of Superfluid He II [1-7] we have systematically developed based on overall experimental observations, predicting all essential properties of He II in agreement with experiments.
