Simulating Vortex Manipulations with Complex Pinning Site Arrangements.
abstract We show that we can transfer quantized vortices topinning sites, where the pinning sites are arranged in an arbitrarily complicated manner.The study was undertaken using computational simulations of a BEC in MatLab. This is acheived by calculating an intial wave function and evolving it over time. External potentials were added to the BEC to generate pinning sites, and to create vortices. Logan Richardson
