Quantised Vortices

Quantised VorticesVortices comprising swirling motion of matter are observable in classical systems at all scales, ranging from atomic size to that of galaxies. In quantum mechanical systems, such vortices are robust entities whose behaviours are governed by the strict rules of topology. The physics of quantum vortices is pivotal to the basic science of quantum turbulence and high temperature superconductors, and underpins emerging quantum technologies including
