We directly image Tkachenko waves in a vortex lattice in a dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate. The low (sub-Hz) resonant frequencies are a consequence of the small but nonvanishing elastic shear modulus of the vortex-filled superfluid. The…

We calculate the in-plane modes of the vortex lattice in a rotating Bose condensate from the Thomas-Fermi to the mean-field quantum Hall regimes. The Tkachenko mode frequency goes from linear in the wavevector, $k$, for lattice rotational…
We observe the formation of shock waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate containing a large number of sodium atoms. The shock wave is initiated with a repulsive, blue-detuned light barrier, intersecting the BEC, after which two shock fronts…
