Topological Superfluid Defects with Discrete Point Group Symmetries
Y. Xiao, M. O. Borgh, A. A. Blinova +3
Discrete symmetries are spatially ubiquitous but are often hidden in internal states of systems where they can have especially profound consequences. In this work we create and ver…
Controlled creation of a singular spinor vortex by circumventing the Dirac belt trick
L. S. Weiss, M. O. Borgh, A. Blinova +4
Persistent topological defects and textures are particularly dramatic consequences of superfluidity. Among the most fascinating examples are the singular vortices arising from the…
Controlled Creation and Decay of Singly-Quantized Vortices in a Polar Magnetic Phase
Y. Xiao, M. O. Borgh, L. S. Weiss +3
We experimentally and theoretically explore the creation and time evolution of vortex lines in the polar magnetic phase of a trapped spin-1 Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. A pr…
Decay of a Quantum Knot
T. Ollikainen, A. Blinova, M. Möttönen +1
We experimentally study the dynamics of quantum knots in a uniform magnetic field in spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates. The knot is created in the polar magnetic phase, which rapidl…
Experimental realization of a Dirac monopole through the decay of an isolated monopole
T. Ollikainen, K. Tiurev, A. Blinova +3
We experimentally observe the decay dynamics of deterministically created isolated monopoles in spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates. As the condensate undergoes a change between magne…
