In the triplet equal-spin-pairing states of both 3He-A phase and Sr2RuO4 superconductor, existence of Half-Quantum Vortices HQVs are possible. The vortices carry half-integer multiples of magnetic quantum flux (hc/2e). To obtain equilibrium…

Recent experiments on superfluid $^3$He in globally anisotropic aerogels have shown realization of the polar superfluid phase and of the half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in this phase upon rotation. To clarify why the HQVs, which had not been…

The half quantum vortex(HQV) in condensate has been studied, since it was predicted by Salomaa and Volovik in superfluid $^3$He-A phase. However, an experimental evidence for its existence has not been reported so far. Motivated by a recent…

One of the most sought-after objects in topological quantum matter systems is a vortex carrying half a quantum of circulation. They were originally predicted to exist in superfluid 3He-A, but have never been resolved there. Here we report…

We study the s-wave quintet Cooper pairing phase ($S_{tot}=2$) in spin-3/2 cold atomic systems and identify various novel features which do not appear in the spin-1/2 counterpart. A single quantum vortex is shown to be energetically less…

The observation of the highly unusual half-quantum vortex (HQV) in a single crystalline superconductor excludes unequivocally the spin-singlet symmetry of the superconducting order parameter. HQVs were observed previously in mesoscopic…

We report on the observation of half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in the easy-plane polar phase of an antiferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. Using in situ magnetization-sensitive imaging, we observe that pairs of HQVs with opposite…

Unlike to superfluid $^4$He the superfluid $^3$He-A support the existence of vortices with half quantum of circulation as well as single quantum vortices. The singular single quanta vortices as well as nonsingular vortices with 2 quanta of…

We present an experimental study on the interaction and dynamics of half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in an antiferromagnetic spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. By exploiting the orbit motion of a vortex dipole in a trapped condensate, we perform…

Stability of a half-quantum vortex (HQV) in superfluid $^3$He has been discussed recently by Kawakami, Tsutsumi and Machida in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 092506 (2009). We further extend this work here and consider the A$_2$ phase of superfluid…

Half quantum vortices (HQVs) in superfluid $^3He-A$ have been speculated since 1976. Two years ago, Yamashita et al reported a very unusual NMR satellite in the rotating superfluid $^3He-A$ in a parallel plate geometry. Recently this…

Singly quantized vortices have been already observed in many systems including the superfluid helium, Bose Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases, and condensates of exciton polaritons in the solid state. Two dimensional superfluids…

Motivated by the recent observation and argument on a large half-quantum vortex (HQV) pair connencted by a Kibble wall in superfluid 3He in nematic aerogels, we numerically study to what extent a huge HQV pair can intrinsically occur with…

Half-quantum vortices (HQVs) can exist in a superconductor or superfluid with an exact or approximate U(1) \times U(1) symmetry, for instance in spinor condensates, 3He-A, Sr2RuO4, and possibly cuprate superconductors with stripe order. In…

We report theoretical results for the stability of half-quantum vortices (HQVs) in the superfluid phases of $^3$He confined in highly anisotropic Nafen aerogel. Superfluidity of $^3$He confined in Nafen is the realization of a "nematic…

We have found the precise stability region of the half quantum vortex (HQV) for superfluid $^3$He A phase confined in parallel plates with a narrow gap under rotation. Standard Ginzburg-Landau free energy, which is well established, is…

Effects of a bias electric current have been theoretically investigated in a spin-triplet superconducting ring in a magnetic field. Based on the Ginzburg-Landau theory, we show that the bias current can stabilize a half-quantum-flux (HQF)…

We investigate a Zeeman-split quantum dot (QD) containing a single spin 1/2 weakly coupled to a helical Luttinger liquid (HLL) within a generalized master equation approach. The HLL induces a tunable magnetization direction on the QD…

Motivated by recent interest in spin triplet superconductors, we investigate the vortex lattice structures for this class of unconventional superconductors. We discuss how the order parameter symmetry can give rise to U(1)$\times$U(1)…

The theoretical aspects of spin-rotation coupling are presented. The approach is based on the general covariance principle. It is shown that the gyrogravitational ratio of the bare spin-1/2 and the spin-1 particles is equal unity. That is…
