Consequences:
• No circulation in a simply connected region
• Quantized circulation in toroidal geometry.
• Quantized vortices (n=0 on the vortex line).
• Vortex lattices

Possible route to vortex nucleation
Almost spherical condensate
in a rotating trap with Ω close to ω┴/√2
Many quadrupole shape deformations are excited
Highly deformed condensate with irrotational field
Vortices enter the condensate
New stable configuration, spherical, with vortices
Complex dynamics with nucleation of vortices at the surface
The deformed condensate becomes dynamically unstable

Helium droplet ↔ trapped BEC
• Helium is dense
• Condensate fraction is 10% in bulk at T=0
• Superfluid fraction is 100% in bulk at T=0
• Helium droplets are self bound (no confinement)
• Temperature of droplets is about 0.15 - 0.4 K (evaporative cooling)

Conclusions
• Rotational properties and quantized vorticity are intimately connected to superfluidity.
• Dilute condensates in traps represent a wonderful testing ground for theories on quantum fluids.
• Dilute condensates and liquid helium are good friends. They look different, but they speak the same language.
