A Bose-Einstein condensate of cold atoms is a superfluid and thus responds to rotation of its container by the nucleation of quantized vortices. If the trapping potential is su ciently strong, there is no theoretical limit to the rotation…
We show that when a topological defect with extended world-volume annihilates with an anti-defect, there arise topological defects with dimensions less than those of the original defects by one. Domain wall annihilations create vortices…
We study computationally the collision dynamics of vortices in a two-dimensional spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate. In contrast to Abelian vortex pairs, which annihilate or pass through each other, we observe non-Abelian vortex pairs to…
We study binary Bose-Einstein condensates subject to synthetic magnetic fields in mutually parallel or antiparallel directions. Within the mean-field theory, the two types of fields have been shown to give the same vortex-lattice phase…

Dynamical coupling between matter and gauge fields underlies the emergence of many exotic particle-like excitations in condensed matter and high energy physics. An important stepping stone to simulate this physics in atomic quantum gases…
We investigate the stability of a vortex ring in a miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic potential, where the vortex cores in the two components are initially overlapped. Solving the Gross-Pitaevskii…
Quantized vortices are the prototypical feature of superfluidity. Pervasive in all natural systems, vortices are yet to be observed in dipolar quantum gases. Here, we exploit the anisotropic nature of the dipole-dipole interaction of a…
We report on the observation of vortex formation in a Bose-Einstein condensate of Rb-87 atoms. Vortices are generated by superimposing an oscillating excitation to the trapping potential introduced by an external magnetic field. For small…
We study in detail the counterintuitive result that in elongated rotating Bose--Einstein condensates the ground state is composed of one or more vortex lines which bend even in completely symmetric setups. This symmetry breaking allows the…
Vortices are pervasive in nature, representing the breakdown of laminar fluid flow and hence playing a key role in turbulence. The fluid rotation associated with a vortex can be parameterized by the circulation $\Gamma=\oint {\rm d}{\bf…
