Analysis of quantised vortex tangle

This thesis is an investigation of the tangled vortex lines that arise in the interference of complex waves in three dimensions; they are nodal lines of the intensity where both the real and imaginary components of the wavefield cancel out, and are singularities of the complex phase about which it s...
