We study the dynamics of a doubly quantized vortex (DQV), created by releasing a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate with quantized circulation into harmonic potential traps. It is shown that a DQV can be generated and exists stably in the middle of the ring-shaped condensate with the initial circulation $s = 2$ after released into the rotationally symmetric trap potential. For an asymmetric trap with a small degree of anisotropy the DQV initially splits into two singly quantized vortices and revives again but eventually evolves into two unit vortices due to the dynamic instability. For the degree of anisotropy above a critical value, the DQV is extremely unstably and decays rapidly into two singlet vortices. The geometry-dependent lifetime of the DQV and vortex-induced excitations are also discussed intensively.

The splitting instability of a doubly-quantized vortex in the BEC-BCS crossover of a superfluid Fermi gas is investigated by means of a low-energy effective field theory. Our linear stability analysis and non-equilibrium numerical simulations reveal that the character of the instability drastically changes across the crossover. In the BEC-limit, the splitting of the vortex into two singly-quantized vortices occurs through the emission of phonons, while such an emission is completely absent in the BCS-limit. In the crossover-regime, the instability and phonon emission are enhanced, and the lifetime of a doubly-quantized vortex becomes minimal. The emitted phonon is amplified due to the rotational superradiance and can be observed as a spiraling pattern in the superfluid. We also investigate the influence of temperature, population imbalance, and three-dimensional effects.
We revisit the fundamental problem of the splitting instability of a doubly quantized vortex in uniform single-component superfluids at zero temperature. We analyze the system-size dependence of the excitation frequency of a doubly quantized vortex through large-scale simulations of the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equation, and find that the system remains dynamically unstable even in the infinite-system-size limit. Perturbation and semi-classical theories reveal that the splitting instability radiates a damped oscillatory phonon as an opposite counterpart of a quasi-normal mode.
Doubly quantized vortices were topologically imprinted in $|F=1>$ $^{23}$Na condensates, and their time evolution was observed using a tomographic imaging technique. The decay into two singly quantized vortices was characterized and attributed to dynamical instability. The time scale of the splitting process was found to be longer at higher atom density.
The stability of doubly quantized vortices in dilute Bose-Einstein condensates of 23Na is examined at zero temperature. The eigenmode spectrum of the Bogoliubov equations for a harmonically trapped cigar-shaped condensate is computed and it is found that the doubly quantized vortex is spectrally unstable towards dissection into two singly quantized vortices. By numerically solving the full three-dimensional time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation, it is found that the two singly quantized vortices intertwine before decaying. This work provides an interpretation of recent experiments [A. E. Leanhardt et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 190403 (2002)].
We study the collective oscillations of three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) excited by a vortex ring. We identify independent, integrated, and stationary modes of the center-of-mass oscillation of the condensate with respect to the vortex ring movement. We show that the oscillation amplitude {of the center-of-mass of the condensate} depends strongly on the initial radius of the vortex ring, the inter-atomic interaction, and the aspect ration of the trap, while the oscillation frequency is fixed and equal to the frequency of the harmonic trap in the direction of the ring movement. However, when applying Kelvin wave perturbations on the vortex ring, the center-of-mass oscillation of the BEC is changed nontrivially with respect to the perturbation modes, the long-scale perturbation strength as well as the wave number of the perturbations. The parity of the wave number of the Kelvin perturbations plays important role on the mode of the center-of-mass oscillation of the condensate.
