Optical analog of the Iordanskii force in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate generates the optical analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect when illuminated with slow light. In contrast to the original Aharonov-Bohm effect the vortex will exchange forces with the light that leads to a measurable motion of the vortex.
