References[edit]

(An earlier unsigned comment) What are these "for a detailed discussion see"? There are supposed links, but they do not work.

I removed the following references from the article. These do not seem to be especially useful as references. Indeed, it seems likely that they were collected by a random google-search without much regard for their contents whatsoever. Please restore any that are appropriate for the article.

A picture would help[edit]

Visualising a quantum vortex from the text is difficult. Can anyone supply a picture? --Graham Proud (talk) 12:03, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think these vortices are nicely visualized here:

Reference for the section "Statistical mechanics of vortex lines"[edit]

Highly interesting, but no reference unfortunately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.120.75.24 (talk) 16:29, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
