Dynamical Instability of a Doubly Quantized Vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Y. Shin, M. Saba, M. Vengalattore +6

Doubly quantized vortices were topologically imprinted in $|F=1>$ ${}^{23}$Na condensates, and their time evolution was observed using a tomographic imaging technique. The decay into…
