We derive a fully quantum-mechanical equation of motion for a vortex in a 2-dimensional Bose superfluid, in the temperature regime where the normal fluid density $\rho_n(T)$ is small. The coupling between the vortex "zero mode" and the…

Vorticity in two-dimensional superfluids is subject to intense research efforts due to its role in quantum turbulence, dissipation and the BKT phase transition. Interaction of sound and vortices is of broad importance in Bose-Einstein…

The dynamics of quantized vortices in weakly interacting superfluids are often modeled by a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. In contrast, we show that quantized vortices in fact obey a non-Hamiltonian evolution equation, which enhances…
