We consider a "symmetric" quantum droplet in two spatial dimensions, which rotates in a harmonic potential, focusing mostly on the limit of "rapid" rotation. We examine this problem using a purely numerical approach, as well as a…

In the bullet process, a gun fires bullets in the same direction at independent random speeds, and with independent random time delays between firings. When two bullets collide, they vanish. The critical velocity $v_c$ is the slowest speed…
The velocity circulation, a measure of the rotation of a fluid within a closed path, is a fundamental observable in classical and quantum flows. It is indeed a Lagrangian invariant in inviscid classical fluids. In quantum flows, circulation…

The present work examines the downstream vortex evolution behind a cascade of vortex generators producing counter-rotating vortices in a boundary layer of negligible streamwise pressure gradient. For the current study, which is an extension…
We study how temperature affects the lifetime of a quantized, persistent current state in a toroidal Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). When the temperature is increased, we find a decrease in the persistent current lifetime. Comparing our…

Clustering of like-sign vortices in a planar bounded domain is known to occur at negative temperature, a phenomenon that Onsager demonstrated to be a consequence of bounded phase space. In a confined superfluid, quantized vortices can…
