Abstract: In recent years many fundamental properties of the supersolid phase of matter have been studied, but the question of how such a peculiar state rotates remains experimentally unexplored. In this paper I report on an ongoing experiment made towards the trapping of a supersolid inside a ring potential, to study its rotational properties. I present both the experimental realization of the ring and numerical simulations done to study the superfluid to supersolid phase transition in an annular geometry.
