Spontaneous vortices in the formation of Bose-Einstein condensates
C. N. Weiler, T. W. Neely, D. R. Scherer +3
Phase transitions are ubiquitous in nature, ranging from protein folding and denaturisation, to the superconductor-insulator quantum phase transition, to the decoupling of forces i…
Dynamics of Vortex Formation in Merging Bose-Einstein Condensate Fragments
R. Carretero-Gonzalez, B. P. Anderson, P. G. Kevrekidis +2
We study the formation of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) that has been prepared by allowing isolated and independent condensed fragments to merge together. We focus o…
Vortex Formation by Interference of Multiple Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates
David R. Scherer, Chad N. Weiler, Tyler W. Neely +1
We report observations of vortex formation as a result of merging together multiple Rb Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a confining potential. In this experiment, a trapp…
