Abstract

We show that trap rotation overrides Kibble-Zurek (KZ) universality when a 2D Bose-Einstein condensate forms via a finite-time quench. In stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii simulations, the rotation-induced chiral bias drives the vortex number close to the Feynman-Onsager (FO) value, independent of the quench time. Ramping up rotation with the quench restores the KZ scaling at low frequencies, with vortex numbers below the FO value. The vortices form a disordered lattice that a pinning potential can order into an Abrikosov lattice, even at low rotation. Trap rotation thus offers a control knob for critical dynamics.
