We have observed the persistent flow of Bose-condensed atoms in a toroidal trap. The flow
persists without decay for up to 10 s, limited only by experimental factors such as drift and …

The aim of this introductory article is two-fold. First, we aim to offer a general introduction to
the theme of Bose-Einstein condensates, and briefly discuss the evolution of a number of …

The aim of this review is to introduce the reader to some of the physical notions and the
mathematical methods that are relevant to the study of nonlinear waves in Bose–Einstein …

Doubly quantized vortices were topologically imprinted in| F= 1⟩ N a 23 condensates, and
their time evolution was observed using a tomographic imaging technique. The decay into …

We study the formation of large vortex aggregates in a rapidly rotating dilute-gas Bose-
Einstein condensate. When we remove atoms from the rotating condensate with a tightly …

We show that, in the Thomas-Fermi regime, the cores of vortices in rotating dilute Bose-
Einstein condensates adjust in radius as the rotation velocity, Ω, grows, thus precluding a …

A fast rotating Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a quadratic-plus-quartic potential is
found to dynamically generate a “giant vortex” that absorbs all phase singularities into a …

Quantum vortices are often endowed with an effective inertial mass, due, for example, to
massive particles in their cores. Such “massive vortices” display new phenomena beyond …

We theoretically explore the transfer of vortex states between atomic Bose-Einstein
condensates and optical pulses using ultraslow and stopped light techniques. We find …

In this review, we give an overview of the experimental and theoretical advances in the
physics of quantised vortices in dilute atomic gas Bose–Einstein condensates in a trapping …
