BEC Ang Mom Transfer Full Photo

Caption

Merging dynamics of two BECs, one rotating and one stationary. Density evolution of each drop is shown in the top row, and angular momentum transfer is shown in the bottom row. Angular momentum is transferred due to the spontaneous emergence of a corkscrew structure at the interface.
