(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.

In the references above, there only two references of historical significance: the one by Feynman and the one by Abrikosov. -- Sketchjoy ( talk) 23:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC) reply

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:

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