Observation of vortex phase singularities in stirred Bose-Einstein condensates

  • Conference paper
Coherence and Quantum Optics VIII

Abstract

We have observed phase singularities due to vortex excitation in Bose-Einstein condensates. This was done by exciting vortices by stirringa condensate with a laser be-am and then interfering it with an unperturbed condensate.
