In recent experiments, the relaxation dynamics of highly oblate, turbulent Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) was investigated by measuring the vortex decay rates in various sample conditions [Phys. Rev. A 90, 063627 (2014)] and, separately, the thermal friction coefficient $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ for vortex motion was measured from the long-time evolution of a corotating vortex pair in a BEC [Phys. Rev. A 92, 051601(R) (2015)]. We present a comparative analysis of the experimental results, and… Expand

A forced and dissipative point vortex model is proposed that captures the turbulent dynamics of quantized vortices by the emergent clustering of same-sign vortice and the inverse energy cascade developing in a statistically neutral system originates from this vortex clustering that evolves with time.

Sound emission and annihilations in a programmable quantum vortex collider.
This work realizes a programmable vortex collider in a planar, homogeneous atomic Fermi superfluid with tunable inter-particle interactions, suggesting that fermionic quasiparticles localized inside the vortex core contribute significantly to dissipation, thereby opening the route to exploring new pathways for quantum turbulence decay, vortex by vortex.
