Vortex nucleation in a Bose–Einstein condensate: from the inside out

Vortex nucleation in a Bose–Einstein condensate: from the inside out

We observed a new mechanism for vortex nucleation in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) subject to synthetic magnetic fields. We made use of a strong synthetic magnetic field initially localized between a pair of merging BECs to rapidly create vortices in the bulk of the merged condensate. Unlike prev...
