Vortices comprising swirling motion of matter are observable in classical systems at all scales ranging from atomic size to the scale of galaxies.
In quantum mechanical systems, such vortices are robust entities whose behaviours are governed by the strict rules of topology. The physics of quantum vortices is pivotal to basic science of quantum turbulence and high temperature superconductors, and underpins emerging quantum technologies including topological quantum computation. This handbook is aimed at providing a dictionary style portal to the fascinating quantum world of vortices.

Tapio Simula was awarded a D.Sc.(Tech.) degree in 2003 by the Helsinki University of Technology. His research interests include the physics of quantum vortices and superfluidity in Bose--Einstein condensates. He is currently an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.
