Intercomponent vortex interaction and dynamics in a uniform Bose quantum liquid
We investigate the interaction and dynamics of vortices belonging to different components of a binary uniform quantum liquid. Using the coupled extended Gross-Pitaevskii equations with logarithmic beyond-mean-field corrections, we derive the asymptotic interaction potential between well-separated vortices. The interaction potential retains the asymptotic form $s^{-2}$ as a function of the intervortex distance s, but its coefficient depends on the background density through the quantum fluctuation. As a result, the interaction between vortices changes from attractive to repulsive at a critical density. Real-time simulations demonstrate a corresponding reversal of orbital motion of a vortex pair from clockwise to counterclockwise, consistent with their Magnus response.
