Topological superfluid defects with discrete point group symmetries

Ordinary vortex line defects are well-studied across different physical systems. Here the authors demonstrate, in atomic spinor Bose–Einstein condensates, previously unobserved vortex line defects with discrete polytope symmetries, which are of interest to quantum information applications.
