We show that the decay of a soliton into vortices provides a mechanism for measuring the initial phase difference between two merging Bose-Einstein condensates. At very low temperatures, the mechanism is resonant, operating only when the…

We study the vortex dynamics of a quantum degenerate Bose gas through the intensity fluctuations of the interference from particles extracted at two different positions. It is shown numerically with classical field simulations that an…
We have studied a Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{87}Rb$ atoms under an oscillatory excitation. For a fixed frequency of excitation, we have explored how the values of amplitude and time of excitation must be combined in order to produce…
Quantized vortices are the hallmark of superfluidity, and are often sought out as the first observable feature in new superfluid systems. Following the recent experimental observation of vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates comprised of…
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…
There are surface modes on the Bose-Einstein condensed Na atoms so that the number of vortices diverges when the stirring frequency becomes equal to that of the surface waves. We introduce the finite life time of the surface modes so that…

Using the explicit numerical solution of the axially-symmetric Gross-Pitaevskii equation we study the oscillation of the Bose-Einstein condensate induced by a periodic variation in the atomic scattering length $a$. When the frequency of…
We examine a rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in an anharmonic confinement and find that many properties such as the critical rotating frequency and phase diagram are quite different from those in a harmonic trap. We investigate…
We present an alternative method for determining the sound velocity in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates, based on thermodynamic global variables. The total number of trapped atoms was as a function of temperature carefully studied across…
When a surface wave interacts with a vertical vortex in shallow water the latter induces a dislocation in the incident wavefronts that is analogous to what happens in the Aharonov-Bohm effect for the scattering of electrons by a confined…
I discuss the scattering of phonons by a vortex moving with respect to a superfluid condensate. This allows us to test the compatibility of the scattering-theory derivation of the Iordanskii force with the galilean invariance of the…
We consider propagation of density wave packets in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that the shape of initially broad, laser-induced, density perturbation changes in the course of free time evolution so that a shock wave front finally…
Vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate are modelled as spontaneously symmetry breaking minimum energy solutions of the time dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, using the method of constrained optimization. In a non-rotating axially…
Here it is shown that a radial magnetic field leads to rotation of a Bose condensed exciton cloud due to Aharonov-Bohm effect for an electron and a hole forming an exciton. As in the case of mechanical rotation of superfluids, rotation is…
