Superfluids are distinguished from ordinary fluids by the quantized manner the rotation is manifested in them. Precisely, quantized vortices are known to appear in the bulk of a superfluid subject to external rotation. In this work we study…
It is a common view that rotational motion in a superfluid can exist only in the presence of quantized vortices. However, in our numerical studies on the merging of two concentric Bose-Einstein condensates with axial symmetry in…
