Motion of a Solitonic Vortex in the BEC-BCS Crossover

Motion of a Solitonic Vortex in the BEC-BCS Crossover

We observe a long-lived solitary wave in a superfluid Fermi gas of [superscript 6]Li atoms after phase imprinting. Tomographic imaging reveals the excitation to be a solitonic vortex, oriented transverse to the long axis of the cigar-shaped atom cloud. The precessional motion of the vortex is direct...
