Collision dynamics and reactions of fractional vortex molecules in coherently coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
Coherently coupled two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) exhibit vortex confinement resembling quark confinement in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Fractionally quantized vortices winding only in one of two components are attached by solitons, and they cannot stably exist alone. Possible stabl...
