Summary
Vortices are crucial elements of turbulence, a topic that has been central to both fundamental and applied science for centuries. One challenge in studying vortices is their unstable and ambiguous nature; the thickness of vortices, which is difficult to define precisely, varies over time and is diverse. However, a useful comparison can be made with quantized vortices in quantum liquids. Unlike classical vortices, quantized vortices are homogeneous and stable. In this talk, I will introduce the basic concepts of quantized vortices and describe an experimental scheme to visualize their dynamics.
