Our paper "Turbulent Relaxation to Equilibrium in a Two-Dimensional Quantum Vortex Gas" has been published in PRX!

By on the 1st March 2022

In this work, we explored the relaxation of initially non-equilibrium configurations of vortices. Impressively, the vortex configurations in equilibrium were found to closely match the predictions of the point vortex model. You can access the full text here.

Roadmap on Atomtronics now published in AVS Quantum Science

By on the 27th August 2021

Roadmap on Atomtronics: State of the art and perspective, has now been published online in AVS Quantum Sci. 3, 039201 (2021). This is a review of the latest progress in atomtronics-enabled quantum technologies, such as matter-wave circuits and atom chips.

Review of configured optical trapping techniques for cold atoms on the arXiv!

By on the 24th March 2021

Our review of configured optical trapping techniques for cold atoms has been posted on the arXiv. We have aimed for a detailed technical review that highlights some of the subtleties in implementing acousto-optic deflector, DMD and SLM traps, as a complete guide to the experimentalist. The chapter will appear in Advances in Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics later this year.

Our paper on off-axis vortex equilibria is on the arXiv!

By on the 22nd October 2020

In this preprint, we study the high-energy phases of vortex matter in a superfluid quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensate. These phases have eluded experimental detection before due to the requirements of very low dissipation and loss in experiments. You can read more here.

Australian Quantum Vortex team a finalist for 2020 Eureka Prize

By on the 29th September 2020

Our group has been selected as a finalist for the 2020 Eureka Prize for Scientific Research as part of the Australian Quantum Vortex Team! The nomination stems from the recent work in our group on vortex clusters, along with that of the group of Kristian Helmerson at Monash University and Warwick Bowen's group at UQ. All together, this large collaboration resulted in three publications in Science in 2019. You can read about all the nominees here.

New publication on vortex fluids in Physical Review Research!

By on the 11th August 2020

We have a new publication on vortex fluids in the open access Physical Review Research! Oliver Stockdale and the theory team have shown that an expanding vortex cluster in a 2D superfluid forms a Rankine vortex, suported by experimental measurements. This process is forbidden in classical fluids due to viscosity.
