Quantum Turbulence

Abstract

We review the recent research developments of quantum turbulence. Quantum turbulence refers to turbulence in quantum condensed systems like superfluid helium and atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Hydrodynamics of quantum condensed systems is characterized by the appearance of order parameters, leading to inviscid superflow and topological defects such as quantized vortices. These characteristics make quantum turbulence a prototype of turbulence more easily accessible than conventional one.
