    Linked via "Abrikosov vortices"

    In superconductivity and superfluidity, vortices represent quantized defects in the order parameter field.
    Type II Superconductors: Magnetic vortices, often termed Abrikosov vortices, occur when an external magnetic field penetrates the superconductor in discrete lines. The magnetic flux $\Phi$ through the core of each vortex is quantized:
    $$\Phi = n \frac{h}{2e} = n \Phi_0$$
