Abstract

The aim of our paper is to study the multi-quanta Abrikosov vortices injected into a superconductor layer by the twisted light impulses. We predict that the condensate circulating around the core of a multi-quanta vortex may differ in nature from that of the bulk superconductor. Special attention is paid to possibility of appearance of the quasi angular momentum of Cooper pairs and its compensation via their recombination to the fermion quartets. We show potential applications of the multi-quanta vortices as massive memories as well as spin, angular momentum and energy batteries. Finally, we predict the emergence of half-quantum multi-quanta Josephson vortices under certain conditions.
