The vortex motion in a superfluid or a type II superconductor is similar to the electron motion in a magnetic field, because they both feel a transverse force. The vortex dynamics in a superconductor is a basic property of the…

Quantum vortices, the quantized version of classical vortices, play a prominent role in superfluid and superconductor phase transitions. However, their exploration at a particle level in open quantum systems has gained considerable…

Experimentalists use particles as tracers in liquid helium. The intrusive effects of particles on the dynamics of vortices remain poorly understood. We implement a study of how basic well understood vortex states, such as a propagating pair…
