Controlled creation of three-dimensional vortex structures in Bose--Einstein condensates using artificial magnetic fields

Schloss, James ; Barnett, Peter ; Sachdeva, Rashi LU orcid and Busch, Thomas (2020) In Physical Review A 102.
Abstract
The physics of quantized vortex excitations in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates has been extensively studied in recent years.Although simple vortex lines are relatively easy to create, control, and measure in experiments, it is a lot more difficult to do the same for vortex ring structures.Here we suggest and explore a method for generating and controlling superfluid vortex rings, vortex ring lattices, and other three dimensional vortex structures in toroidally-trapped superfluid Bose--Einstein condensates by using the artificial magnetic field produced by an optical nanofiber.The presence of the fiber also necessitates a multiply-connected geometry and we show that in this situation the presence of these vortex structures can be deduced...
