The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) predicts that a newly formed superfluid prepared by a finite-time thermal quench is populated with vortices. The universality of vortex number statistics, beyond KZM, enables the characterization of…
An initially homogeneous freely evolving fluid of inelastic hard spheres develops inhomogeneities in the flow field (vortices) and in the density field (clusters), driven by unstable fluctuations. Their spatial correlations, as measured in…
We calculate the renormalized quartic vertex function of the Ginzburg-Landau model for a superconducting film in a magnetic field by summing an infinite subset of diagrams, the so-called parquet graphs. Using this non-perturbative solution,…

Vortices are among the simplest topological structures, and occur whenever a flow field `whirls' around a one-dimensional core. They are ubiquitous to many branches of physics, from fluid dynamics to superconductivity and superfluidity, and…
A vortex-induced transverse voltage in a superconducting film, previously predicted theoretically, has been seen experimentally for the first time. The magnitude of this voltage and its nonmonotonic current dependence are explained on the…
We investigate the out of equilibrium dynamics of the two-dimensional XY model when cooled across the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition using different protocols. We focus on the evolution of the growing correlation…
We report measurements of the Nernst and Seebeck effects in Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$ thin films near the superconducting transition temperature, $T$ = 6.5 - 15 K. Our main result is the observation of a vortex-Nernst signal $S_{yx}(T,H)$…
