Abstract
In spite of being a phenomenon studied over centuries, turbulence remains an intriguing phenomenon of nature. In the low temperature regime, turbulence has been investigated in superfluid helium during the last decades. Due to the quantum nature of superfluids, this phenomenon is named Quantum Turbulence and it is characterized by a particular configuration of quantized vortices in the sample. Recently, this topic started to be investigated in a different kind of superfluids, namely, trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). In this text we review the first experimental evidences of Quantum Turbulence in a BEC of 87Rb. We describe our most important observations and discuss possible research perspectives.
