[图书][B] The defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation: from dark solitons to vortices and vortex rings

The phenomenon of Bose–Einstein condensation is a phase transition originally predicted
by Bose and Einstein in 1924. In particular, it was shown that below a critical temperature T …

Josephson effect in fermionic superfluids across the BEC-BCS crossover

G Valtolina, A Burchianti, A Amico, E Neri, K Xhani… - Science, 2015 - science.org
The Josephson effect is a macroscopic quantum phenomenon that reveals the broken
symmetry associated with any superfluid state. Here we report on the observation of the …

Observation of solitonic vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates

S Donadello, S Serafini, M Tylutki, LP Pitaevskii… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We observe solitonic vortices in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) after free
expansion. Clear signatures of the nature of such defects are the twisted planar density …

Dark-dark solitons and modulational instability in miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

MA Hoefer, JJ Chang, C Hamner, P Engels - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2011 - APS
We investigate the dynamics of two miscible superfluids experiencing fast counterflow in a
narrow channel. The superfluids are formed by two distinguishable components of a trapped …

Motion of a Solitonic Vortex in the BEC-BCS Crossover

MJH Ku, W Ji, B Mukherjee, E Guardado-Sanchez… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We observe a long-lived solitary wave in a superfluid Fermi gas of Li 6 atoms after phase
imprinting. Tomographic imaging reveals the excitation to be a solitonic vortex, oriented …

Vortex reconnections and rebounds in trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates

S Serafini, L Galantucci, E Iseni, T Bienaimé, RN Bisset… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Reconnections and interactions of filamentary coherent structures play a fundamental role in
the dynamics of fluids, redistributing energy and helicity among the length scales and …

Observation of magnetic solitons in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

A Farolfi, D Trypogeorgos, C Mordini, G Lamporesi… - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of spin solitary waves (magnetic solitons) in a
harmonically trapped, binary superfluid mixture. We measure the in situ density of each …

On the direct detection of gravitational waves∗

VI Pustovoit - Physics-Uspekhi, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Different types of gravitational wave (GW) detectors are considered. It is noted that
interferometric techniques offer the greatest prospects for GW registration due to their high …

Cascade of solitonic excitations in a superfluid fermi gas: From planar solitons to vortex rings and lines

MJH Ku, B Mukherjee, T Yefsah, MW Zwierlein - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We follow the time evolution of a superfluid Fermi gas of resonantly interacting Li 6 atoms
after a phase imprint. Via tomographic imaging, we observe the formation of a planar dark …
