Resource Article: Experiments with Vortices in Superfluid Atomic Gases

Journal of Low Temperature Physics volume 161, pages 574–602 (2010)Cite this article

Abstract

Observations of quantized vortices in dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensates were first reported in 1999. Over the next 10 years, more than 70 papers describing experiments involving vortices in superfluid atomic gases were published in scientific journals. This resource article provides a guide to the published experimental studies related to quantized vortices in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid Fermi gases. A BibTex-formatted bibliography document listing these published studies is also available electronically.
