Wave-like spatial statistics in walking-droplet quantum analogs are typically attributed to spatial or temporal nonlocal wave effects. We show instead that such behavior arises generically from the low-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of an…

We show that the dynamical instability of quantum vortices with more than a single quantum of angular momentum results from a superradiant bound state inside the vortex core. Our conclusion is supported by an analytic WKB calculation and…

Hydrodynamic interactions can give rise to a collective motion of rotating particles. This, in turn, can lead to coherent fluid flows. Using large scale hydrodynamic simulations, we study the coupling between these two in spinner monolayers…
