Twisted superfluids in moving frame
{Helical waveguide filled by superfluid is shown to transform the linear
displacements of reference frame into rotations of atomic ensemble and
vise versa rotations of reference frame are the cause of
linear displacements of ensemble. In mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation with
a weakly modulated gravitation the exact solutions for macroscopic wavefunction
demonstrate the emergence of phase factor being proportional
to the population of condensate . is shown to have}Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures , submitted to referred journa
Optical counterpart of the Foucault pendulum
The twin beam vortex interferometer with phase-conjugating mirror in rotating
reference frame is analyzed. Using the concept of the phase-conjugating
mirror it is shown that motion of helical interference pattern may be used for
detection of the slow rotations. The pattern motion is due to exchange of
angular momenta between photons and interferometer. The conditions of
experimental realization of such rotation sensor are discussed and
relations for geometric parameters, coherent backscattering and angular momenta
transformations are obtained.Comment: 9 pages,3 figures, submitted to referred journa
