Optically Induced Monopoles, Knots, and Skyrmions in Quantum Gases
Toni Annala, Tommi Mikkonen, Mikko Möttönen
We propose, and theoretically analyze, a practical protocol for the creation of topological monopole configurations, quantum knots, and skyrmions in Bose--Einstein condensates by e…
Topologically Protected Vortex Knots in an Experimentally Realizable System
Hermanni Rajamäki, Toni Annala, Mikko Möttönen
Ordered media often support vortex structures with intriguing topological properties. Here, we investigate non-Abelian vortices in tetrahedral order, which appear in the cyclic pha…
Topologically protected vortex knots and links
Toni Annala, Roberto Zamora-Zamora, Mikko Möttönen
We propose a class of tangled vortex structures, tied from non-Abelian topological vortices, which are immune against decaying through local reconnections and strand crossings that…
Charge ambiguity and splitting of monopoles
Toni Annala, Mikko Möttönen
This paper is dedicated to studying various aspects of topological defects, appearing in mean-field theory treatments of physical systems such as ultracold atomic gases and gauge f…
