New quantum whirlpools with tetrahedral symmetries discovered in a superfluid

An international collaboration of scientists has created and observed an entirely new class of vortices -- the whirling masses of fluid or air. A new article details laboratory studies of these 'exotic' whirlpools in an ultracold gas of atoms at temperatures as low as tens of billionths of a degree above absolute zero. The discovery may have exciting future implications for implementations of quantum information and computing.
