We report the observation of thermally activated vortex pairs in a trapped quasi-2D Bose gas. This confirms the microscopic nature of the superfluid state in a 2D Bose gas trapped in a harmonic potential.

Observation of Thermally Activated Vortex Pairs in a Quasi-2D Bose Gas

Jae-yoon Choi, Sang Won Seo, Yong-il Shin

We measure the in-plane distribution of thermally activated vortices in a trapped quasi-2D Bose gas, where we enhance the visibility of density-depleted vortex cores by radially compressing the sample before releasing the trap. The pairing of vortices is revealed by the two-vortex spatial correlation function obtained from the vortex distribution. The vortex density decreases gradually as temperature is lowered, and below a certain temperature, a vortex-free region emerges in the center of the sample. This shows the crossover from a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase containing vortex-pair excitations to a vortex-free Bose-Einstein condensate in a finite-size 2D system.

Thermal Activation of Vortex-Antivortex Pairs in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Bose-Einstein Condensates

Tapio Simula, P. B. Blakie

Here we show, by performing ab initio classical field simulations that two distinct superfluid phases, separated by thermal vortex-antivortex pair creation, exist in experimentally producible quasi-2D Bose gas. These results resolve the debate on the nature of the low temperature phase(s) of a trapped interacting 2D Bose gas.
