Electron-Hole Duality and Vortex Rings in Quantum Dots

Abstract
In a quantum-mechanical system, particle-hole duality implies that instead of studying particles, we can get equivalent information by studying the missing particles, the so-called holes. Using this duality picture for fermions in a rotating trap the vortices appear as holes in the Fermi sea. Here we predict that the formation of vortices in quantum dots at high magnetic fields causes oscillations in the energy spectrum which can be experimentally observed using accurate tunneling spectroscopy. We use the duality picture to show that these oscillations are caused by the localization of vortices in rings.
