Superfluid helium is a quantum liquid that exhibits a range of
counter-intuitive phenomena such as frictionless flow. Quantized
vortices are a particularly important feature of superfluid helium,
and all superfluids, characterized by a circulation that can only
take prescribed integer values. However, the strong interactions
between atoms in superfluid helium prohibit quantitative theory of
vortex behaviour. Experiments have similarly not been able to
observe coherent vortex dynamics. This thesis resolves this
challenge, bringing microphotonic techniques to bear on
two-dimensional superfluid helium, observing coherent vortex
dynamics for the first time, and achieving this on a silicon chip.
This represents a major scientific contribution, as it opens the
door not only to providing a better understanding of this esoteric
quantum state of matter, but also to building new quantum
technologies based upon it, and to understanding the dynamics of
astrophysical superfluids such as those thought to exist in the
core of neutron stars.
