Real-Time Dynamics of Single Vortex Lines and Vortex Dipoles in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

Daniel V. Freilich, Dylan Bianchi, Adam M. Kaufman +2 more

Understanding the behavior of quantized vortices is essential to gaining insight into diverse superfluid phenomena, from critical-current densities in superconductors to quantum turbulence in superfluids. We observe the real-time dynamics of quantized vortices in trapped dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensates by repeatedly imaging the vortex cores. The precession frequency of a single vortex is measured by explicitly observing its time dependence and is found to be in good agreement with theory. We further characterize the dynamics of vortex dipoles in two distinct configurations: (i) an asymmetric configuration, in which the vortex trajectories are dynamic and nontrivial, and (ii) a stable, symmetric configuration, in which the dipole is stationary.

We have demonstrated in situ detection of two-dimensional vortex distributions in a single-component Bose-Einstein condensate. We discuss development of the next generation quantum vortex microscope and implications for observations of superfluid dynamics.

Quantum vortices in Bose–Einstein condensates

Paulsamy Muruganandam, Ramaswamy Radha

Chapter 10 explores the dynamics of quantum vortices in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs), covering single vortex dynamics, vortex lattices, and their behavior in Thomas–Fermi and lowest Landau level regimes. The vortex stability via Bogoliubov equations is addressed. The dynamics of vortices in dipolar BECs and vortex formation through merging condensates are also looked into.
