Vortex gyroscope imaging of planar superfluids

A. T. Powis, S. J. Sammut, T. P. Simula

We propose a robust imaging technique that makes it possible to distinguish vortices from antivortices in quasi-two-dimensional Bose--Einstein condensates from a single image of th…

Diffraction catastrophes threaded by quantized vortex skeletons caused by atom-optical aberrations induced in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

T. P. Simula, T. C. Petersen, D. M. Paganin

We propose a nonlinear atom-optics experiment to create diffraction catastrophes threaded by quantized vortex skeletons in Bose-Einstein condensed matter waves. We show how atom-op…

Rotating Dipolar Spin-1 Bose-Einstein Condensates

T. P. Simula, J. A. M. Huhtamäki, M. Takahashi +2

We have computed phase diagrams for rotating spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates with long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interactions. Spin textures including vortex sheets, staggered…

Spin textures in condensates with large dipole moments

J. A. M. Huhtamäki, M. Takahashi, T. P. Simula +2

We have solved numerically the ground states of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of dipolar interparticle forces using a semiclassical approach. Our motivation is to mode…

Stable Fractional Vortices in the Cyclic States of Bose-Einstein Condensates

J. A. M. Huhtamäki, T. P. Simula, M. Kobayashi +1

We propose methods to create fractional vortices in the cyclic state of an F = 2 spinor Bose-Einstein condensate by manipulating its internal spin structure using pulsed microwave…

Thermal activation of vortex-antivortex pairs in quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates

T. P. Simula, P. B. Blakie

Here we show, by performing ab initio classical field simulations that two distinct superfluid phases, separated by thermal vortex-antivortex pair creation, exist in experimentally…
