In this paper, we provide an accurate description of geometric phases emerging in simple optical systems -- nanostructures (metaatoms) interacting with vortex beams. We show that this interaction leads to a new class of geometric phase for…

Fractional-order vector vortex beams are recently demonstrated to be new carriers of fractional-strength optical vortices. However, why can those new vortex beams formed by the combination of both unstable states propagate stably in free…

A theoretical description of vortex electrons interacting with electric and magnetic fields is presented, based on Lorentz transformations. The general dynamical equations of motion of a twisted electron with intrinsic orbital angular…

Vector and vortex laser beams are desired in many applications and are usually created by manipulating the laser output or by inserting optical components in the laser cavity. Distinctly, inserting liquid crystals into the laser cavity…

Quantized vortices in a complex wave field described by a defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a space-varying dispersion coefficient are studied theoretically and compared to vortices in the Gross-Pitaevskii model with external…

In this work, we study the spontaneous formation of a vortex lattice in two-dimensional valley polarized superconductors due to orbital magnetization. The screening of magnetic field is weak for two-dimension superconductors, allowing for…

We reveal the existence of asymmetric vortex solitons in ideally symmetric periodic lattices, and show how such nonlinear localized structures describing elementary circular flows can be analyzed systematically using the energy-balance…

The rotation of a quantum liquid induces vortices to carry angular momentum. When the system is composed of multiple components that are distinguishable from each other, vortex cores in one component may be filled by particles of the other…

Vortex filament model has become a standard and powerful tool to visualize the motion of quantized vortices in helium superfluids. In this article, we present an overview of the method and highlight its impact in aiding our understanding of…

We present a theoretical study of vortices in arrays of photon condensates. Even when interactions are negligible, as is the case in current experiments, pumping and losses can lead to a finite vortex core size. While some properties of…

A vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate generates the optical analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect when illuminated with slow light. In contrast to the original Aharonov-Bohm effect the vortex will exchange forces with the light that lead to a…

By shining a tightly focused laser light on the condensate and moving the center of the beam along the spiral line one may stir the condensate and create vortices. It is shown that one can induce rotation of the condensate in the direction…

We have experimentally generated higher order optical vortices and scattered them through a ground glass plate that results in speckle formation. Intensity autocorrelation measurements of speckles show that their size decreases with…

An experimental study is reported which investigates the head-on collision of a laminar vortex ring of diameter D (Re{\Gamma}= 3000) on a fakir-like surface composed of circular posts of height h*=0.068 located on a planar bed. Lattices of…

The process of all-vortex nonlinear Compton scattering in an intense and polarized laser field, in which the initial and final electrons and the emitted $\gamma$ photon are all in vortex states, is studied theoretically. We develop a…

We study vortex lattices in three-component BECs under rotation, where three kinds of fractional vortices winding one of three components are present. Unlike the cases of two-component BECs where the phases of square and triangular lattices…

We study vortex ring formation arising from the interaction between a cavitation bubble and a confined air bubble in a cylindrical blind hole, using high-speed shadowgraphy imaging. As the cavitation bubble grows above the hole, it drives a…

We study the dynamics of vortex nucleation and lattice formation in a Bose--Einstein condensate in a rotating square optical lattice by numerical simulations of the Gross--Pitaevskii equation. Different dynamical regimes of vortex…

Structured vortex waves have numerous applications in optics, plasmonics, radio-wave technologies and acoustics. We present a theoretical study of a method for generating vortex states based on coherent superposition of waves from discrete…

We investigate quantum fluctuations of a vortex lattice in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Our method gives full access to all the modes of the vortex lattice and we discuss in particular the Bloch bands of the Tkachenko modes. Because…
