Findings
Quantum vorticity occurs in diverse systems from particle physics to cosmology.
Observable manifestations include superfluid vortices and cosmic strings.
Unified description uses an order parameter as a complex scalar field.
Abstract
Quantum vorticity occurs in superfluidity, which arises from a spatial variation of the quantum phase. As such, it can occur in diverse systems over a wide range of scales, from the electroweak sector and QCD of the standard model of particle theory, through the everyday world, to the cosmos. I review the observable manifestations, and their unified description in terms of an order parameter that is a complex scalar field.
