Wojciech Zurek pointed out, that the same ideas play a role for the phase transition of normal fluid helium to superfluid helium. The analogy between the Higgs field and superfluid helium is given by the two-component order parameter; superfluid helium is described via a macroscopic quantum mechanical wave function with global phase. In helium, two components of the order parameter are magnitude and phase (or real and imaginary part) of the complex wave function. Defects in superfluid helium are given by vortex lines, where the coherent macroscopic wave function disappears within the core. Those lines are high-symmetry residuals within the symmetry broken phase.
