Optical Analog of the Iordanskii Force in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
arXiv:cond-mat/0110514
Abstract
A vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate generates the optical analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect when illuminated with slow light. In contrast to the original Aharonov-Bohm effect the vortex will exchange forces with the light that lead to a measurable motion of the vortex.
