Condensed Matter 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:
