Quantum turbulence is a phenomenon that occurs in superfluid systems, particularly in liquid helium at very low temperatures. It is the quantum analog of classical turbulence, which involves chaotic and irregular fluid motion. In superfluids, the behavior of the fluid is governed by quantum mechanics rather than classical mechanics. As a result, quantum turbulence exhibits unique characteristics. It typically arises when a superfluid is subjected to a flow that exceeds a critical velocity, leading to the formation of quantized vortices.
