The vortex-vortex interaction in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates is shown to present characteristic effects not possible in single-component condensates. In particular, vortices in different components undergo separate, but…
We report the observation of vorticity in a macroscopic Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons in a ring geometry. Because it is a spinor condensate, the elementary excitations are "half vortices" in which there is a phase rotation of $\pi$…
We observe interlaced square vortex lattices in rotating two-component dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). After preparing a hexagonal vortex lattice in a single-component BEC in an internal state $|1>$ of $^{87}$Rb atoms, we…
We show that energy relaxation causes a point defect in the uniaxial-nematic phase of a spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate to deform into a spin-Alice ring that exhibits a composite core structure with distinct topology at short and long…
We suggest a method to create turbulence in a Bose-Einstein condensate. The method consists in, firstly, creating an ordered vortex array, and, secondly, imprinting a phase difference in different regions of the condensate. By solving…
A spin-1 condensate with antiferromagnetic interactions supports nematic spin vortices in the easy-plane polar phase. These vortices have a $2\pi$ winding of the nematic director, with a core structure that depends on the quadratic Zeeman…
Motivated by the recent successes of particle models in capturing the precession and interactions of vortex structures in quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates, we revisit the relevant systems of ordinary differential equations.…
Spinorial or multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates may sustain fractional quanta of circulation, vorticant topological excitations with half integer windings of phase and polarization. Matter-light quantum fluids, such as microcavity…
We propose a simple way to manage interactions in Bose-Einstein condensates to generate vortex rings in a highly controllable way. The vortex rings are generated under the action of a quantum analogue of a classical piston pushing the…
We present a numerical method for generating vortex rings in Bose-Einstein condensates confined in axially symmetric traps. The vortex ring is generated using the line-source approximation for the vorticity, i.e., the rotational of the…
A nonrelativistic Bose gas is represented as a grand-canonical ensemble of fluctuating closed spacetime strings of arbitrary shape and length. The loops are characterized by their string tension and the number of times they wind around the…
We study the structure of the vortex core in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. We demonstrate that the order parameter may not vanish and the symmetry may not be restored in the core of the vortex. In this case such vortices can form…
In contrast to one-component Bose-Einstein condensate case, the vortices in two-component condensate can have various complicated structures. The vortices in a space-homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate have been studied in this paper. It…
We numerically investigate the dynamics of vortex generation in a two-dimensional, twocomponent Bose-Einstein condensate subjected to an oscillatory magnetic obstacle. The obstacle creates both repulsive and attractive Gaussian potentials…
A vortex molecule is predicted in rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates whose internal hyperfine states are coupled coherently by an external field. A vortex in one component and that in the other are connected by a domain wall…
Vortex nucleation in a Bose-Einstein condensate subject to a stirring potential is studied numerically using the zero-temperature, two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. It is found that this theory is able to describe the creation of…
We investigate half-vortex sheets and domain-wall trains of rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in spin-dependent optical lattices. The two-component condensates undergo phase separation in the form of stripes arranged…
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…
We propose a method of generating a vortex ring in a Bose-Einstein condensate by means of electromagnetically-induced atomic transitions. Some remnant population of atoms in a second internal state remains within the toroidal trap formed by…
We investigate schemes to dynamically create many particle entangled states of a two component Bose-Einstein condensate in a very short time proportional to 1/N where $N$ is the number of condensate particles. For small $N$ we compare exact…
