Abstract
We study quantum turbulence in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates by numerically solving the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Combining rotations around two axes, we successfully induce quantum turbulent state in which quantized vortices are not crystallized but tangled. The obtained spectrum of the incompressible kinetic energy is consistent with the Kolmogorov law, the most important statistical law in turbulence.
