We show that the interaction between vortices and sound waves in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates can be elucidated in a double-well trap: with one vortex in each well, the sound emitted by each precessing vortex can be driven into the…

This work rectifies the hydrodynamic equations commonly used to describe the superfluid velocity field in such a way that vortex dynamics are also taken into account. In the field of quantum turbulence, it is of fundamental importance to…
A two-component Fermi gas with attractive s-wave interactions forms a superfluid at low temperatures. When this gas is confined in a rotating trap, fermions can unpair at the edges of the gas and vortices can arise beyond certain critical…
