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…
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…
Decay of an isolated monopole into a Dirac monopole configuration
K. Tiurev, E. Ruokokoski, H. Mäkelä +2
We study numerically the detailed structure and decay dynamics of isolated monopoles in conditions similar to those of their recent experimental discovery. We find that the core of…
Observation of Dirac Monopoles in a Synthetic Magnetic Field
M. W. Ray, E. Ruokokoski, S. Kandel +2
Magnetic monopoles --- particles that behave as isolated north or south magnetic poles --- have been the subject of speculation since the first detailed observations of magnetism s…
