Supercritical fluid chromatography is very similar to high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), however the mobile phase exists in a supercritical state. To refresh your memory, recall that super critical fluids exist at temperatures and pressures higher than a substances critical point. This means that the fluid acts as both a gas and a liquid. For example, a supercritical fluid may pass through substances like a gas, but also dissolve substances like a liquid.
Why do supercritical fluids exist? Well, the temperature is high enough that the molecules cannot exist together as a fluid because they have too much energy to stick together. However, the pressure is too high for the molecules to have a root mean square distance sufficient enough to exist as a gas.
SFC exploits this property, using a supercritical fluid to dissolve the chemical in question into the fluid, but move it quickly in the gas phase. Heavy molecules travel slower, while light molecules travel faster, thus causing separation. In addition, chiral molecules can be separated via this method.

What is the supercritical state?
(I suppose that you mean supercritical state of fluid.)Supercritical state of liquid-gas is a state that liquid state and gas state stop to exist at particular temperature and pressure.There is only just fluid state which has both liquid and gas property and if you change the pressure or temperature just a bit, it will change to one of the state.How to achieve supercritical state ?The supercritical state is done at HIGH TEMPERATURE and PRESSURE.For example, the famous CO2 fluid (used to separate caffeine from the coffee bean) is acquired at 304.1 Kelvin and 72.8 atm.

Why cant you travel boat on Jupiter?
Jupiter does not have a defined surface. currently the "surface" is considered to be the top of the visible cloud deck. Below that temperature and pressure gredually increase until the atmosphere graduall phases into a supercritical fluid, neither liquid nor gas. Below that the supercritical fluid phases into liquid metallic hydrogen. However, before you even reached the supercritical layer, any boat or ship would melt or be vaporized in the extreme heat.
