Phys. Rev. A 67, 063602 (2003) [5 pages]Stripe formation in Bose-Einstein condensates with large numbers of vorticesReceived 11 October 2002; published 16 June 2003 We analyze recent experiments at JILA, which observe periodic formation of stripes in a rotating Bose condensate [Engels et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 100403 (2002)], and explain this behavior as a consequence of kinetic energy driven evolution, where the vortices follow a quadrupolar flow. We demonstrate that the structure of vortex lattices in the lowest Landau level is a useful tool for understanding such complex phenomena, even when the system is not in the quantum Hall regime. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
