Phase-induced vortex pinning in rotating supersolid dipolar systems

The study investigates vortex behavior in stationary rotating dipolar supersolids arranged in a triangular lattice of droplets. It shows that vortex positions are not fixed at density minima but vary smoothly as a function of rotation frequency due to the imprinted velocity field on the droplets. This smooth dependence is crucial for understanding vortex dynamics in these complex quantum systems.
