Abstract
The physics of vortex matter in atomic Bose–Einstein condensates is tutorially reviewed with emphasis on general facts. After a brief introduction to the phenomenon of Bose–Einstein condensation and its description through the Gross–Pitaevskii equation, I discuss the possibility of vortex solutions in trapped superfluid atomic gases, first as stationary excited configurations and then as stable states in the presence of rotation. I also review the physics of rotating two-component condensates with and without internal Josephson coupling.
