Vortices Quotes

We were interested in the case of interacting atoms in which the roots of the polynomials -- that is the location of the quantized vortices -- form a regular array. To our surprise we noticed that even for strictly non-interacting atoms, a local order of the vortex distribution remained. - Jean Dalibard

We end up with a group of large predator vortices preying on smaller ones, which in turn prey on smaller ones still, forming a food chain of vortices. - Gregory Eyink
