Title: Turbulence in a Quantum Fluid

Abstract: Quantum fluids, such as those formed by ultra-cold atomic gases, have incredible properties such as the ability to flow without viscous effects and the quantisation of vorticity. These properties have led these gases to be dubbed “superfluids”. I will begin with a very general overview as to how these gases are formed, how they link to classical fluid dynamics, and why they are useful. I will then talk about recent advances in mixtures of two different quantum fluids, before mentioning recent work on a point-vortex model for quantum fluids with long-range interactions.
