Abstract We consider the dynamical properties of quantum vortices with filled massive cores, hence term “massive vortices”. While motion massless is described by first-order equations, inclusion core mass introduces a second-order time derivative in equations and thus doubles number independent variables needed to describe vortex. The simplest possible system where this physics present, i.e. si...

We will discuss quantum turbulence and related nonlinear instability. In quantum condensed systems appear quantized vortices through the order parameters (macroscopic wave functions), and turbulence consisting of quantized vortices is called quantum turbulence (QT). Quantized vortices and QT were discovered in superfluid helium in the 1950’s, while they have become one of the most important the...

Using path-integral Quantum Monte Carlo we study the low-temperature phase diagram of a two-dimensional superconductor within a phenomeno-logical model, where vortices have a finite mass and move in a dissipative environment modeled by a Caldeira-Leggett term. The quantum vortex liquid at high magnetic fields exhibits superfluidity and thus corresponds to a superinsulating phase which is charac...

In an electronic triode, the electron current emanating from the cathode is regulated by the electric potential on a grid between the cathode and the anode. Here we demonstrate a triode for single quantum magnetic field carriers, where the flow of individual magnetic vortices in a superconducting film is regulated by the magnetic potential of striae of soft magnetic strips deposited on the film...

The vortex filament model has become a standard and powerful tool to visualize the motion of quantized vortices in helium superfluids. In this article, we present an overview of the method and highlight its impact in aiding our understanding of quantum turbulence, particularly superfluid helium. We present an analysis of the structure and arrangement of quantized vortices. Our results are in ag...

We explore the experimental implications of a recent theory of the quantum dynamics of vortices in two-dimensional superfluids proximate to Mott insulators. The theory predicts modulations in the local density of states in the regions over which the vortices execute their quantum zero point motion. We use the spatial extent of such modulations in scanning tunnelling microscopy measurements (Hof...
