Optically Induced Coherent Rotation and Vortex Creation in Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates

Karl-Peter Marzlin and Weiping Zhang, School of Mathematics, Physics, Computing, and Electronics, Macquarie Univ., Sydney, Australia.

The research on trapped ultracold atomic gases has become one of the most exciting areas in physics since the experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in magnetic traps. One aspect of particular current interest is whether such gaseous atomic BEC also exhibit superfluid properties as in liquid helium.
