A quantum storm in a teacup
Abstract
The past decade has seen atomic Bose-Einstein condensates emerge as a promising prototype system to explore the quantum mechanical form of turbulence, buoyed by a powerful experimental toolbox to control and manipulate the fluid, and the amenity to describe the system from first-principles. This article presents an overview of quantum turbulence in atomic condensates, from its history and fundamental motivations, its characteristics and key results to date, and finally to some promising future directions.
