Vortex dynamics and their interactions in quantum trajectories

Vortices are known to play a key role in many important processes in physics and chemistry. Here, we study vortices in connection with the quantum trajectories that can be defined in the framework provided by the de Broglie-Bohm formalism of quantum mechanics. In a previous work, it was shown that t...
