Split Instability of a Vortex in an Attractive Bose-Einstein Condensate

Condensed Matter 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

An attractive Bose-Einstein condensate with a vortex splits into two pieces via the quadrupole dynamical instability, which arises at a weaker strength of interaction than the monopole and the dipole instabilities. The split pieces subsequently unite to restore the original vortex or collapse.
