The onset of turbulence, the Kolmogorov cascade in developed turbulence, and decay of turbulence, all these are modified in the quantum regime especially at low temperature when the dissipation practically vanishes.
The expertise obtained by study of turbulence in classical liquids is very important for quantum turbulence.
The turbulence in classical liquids is thought to be characterized by the dynamics of the vortex tubes, whose radii are of order of the dissipative Kolmogorov scale.

Optically-latticed quantum degenerate Fermi gas Physicists at the ETH lab in Zurich have made a quantum degenerate Fermi gas in which the atoms are loaded into the criss-cross interstices of an optical lattice, an artificial 3D crystal in which the atoms are held in place by the electric fields of well-aimed laser beams.
Several quantum theories of gravity suggest that spacetime at this tiny scale is not a smooth continuum but rather a discrete lattice, where particles jump from one point to the next.
This confirms that tiny quantum fluctuations in the very early universe that are believed to have produced the variation in the microwave background were also responsible for forming the galaxies and for their distribution.

Quantum theory predicts that at the Planck scale, space and time must break up into a "quantum foam" in which connections between different points are constantly appearing and vanishing.

Turbulence is the archetypal non-linear, non-equilibrium problem of statistical physics; the fundamental problems of turbulence are still unsolved, but there is a growing interest in their solution.
This book aims to look at fluid turbulence from the point of view of engineering science and physics to produce an integrated treatise on the nature of the physics of fluid turbulence as a universal phenomenon with a universal behaviour.
This is followed by a detailed analysis of modern (post 1960) turbulence theory, including rigorous formulation of the turbulence problem as an example of a non-equilibrium statistical system with strong coupling and the application of renormalized perturbation theory to turbulence.

This parameter may regulate the crossover or transition between two classes of superfluid turbulence: (i) the classical regime of Kolmogorov cascade where vortices are locally polarized forming fat vortex tubes, so that the quantization is not important; (ii) the quantum turbulence whose properties are determined by the quantization of vorticity.
Taking the theory of quantum elasticity (describing phonons) in a 2+1 D Bose system as a literal quantum field theory, we show that superfluidity and superconductivity (in the EM charged case) emerge automatically when the shear rigidity of the elastic state is destroyed by the proliferation of topological defects (quantum dislocations).
Quantum chemical dynamics is based on the eigenvalue problem for multidimensional vibration Hamiltonians with potential energy surfaces (PES) having at least two minima, which are associated with the initial and final quasi-stationary states, reactants and products of chemical reaction.

 INI Programme QVD
Important aspects of the behaviour of the quantum vortices are still not understood.
Turbulent flows in such systems are also of great interest, not only in their own right, but also because, surprisingly, they often appear to share important characteristics with those found in classical fluids.
The aim of this Short Programme is to encourage cross-fertilization by bringing together for intensive cross-disciplinary discussions physicists and mathematicians with backgrounds ranging from quantum fluids to classical fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics, and from applied mathematics to condensed matter and atomic physics.

 TURBULENCE [quantum curtain]
...quantum theorist Werner Heisenberg, on his deathbed declared he had two questions for God, why relativity and why turbulence.
Much less felt was the emphasis Heisenberg placed on turbulence and matrices.
The latter could have ignited an interest in infinite depth and geometrization, but it took ideas associated with chaos theory to allow that to happen.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Turbulence in fluids is an old problem of Physical mathematics.
Understanding turbulence is beyond the capabilities of current Analytical mathematics since the Navier-Stokes that govern it describe strong interactions between a continuum of vortical scales which can not be treated with perturbation or renormalization group methods.
In this lecture I present first recent numerical results for the simplified (yet experimentally accessible) case of quantum turbulence and then I describe how ideas from this case have been used to understand better the structure of classical, incompressible turbulence.

This similarity allowed investigations of one of the cornerstone problems of turbulence - the decay of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, which is to a good approximation generated in flow through a grid of bars.
Closer examination shows that the difference between classical and quantum turbulence occurs at small length scales of order or less than the mean distance between quantum vortices in the tangle.
Generally, it turns out that the phenomenon of fluid turbulence is very robust and controls the flow of both classical and quantum fluids.

There is nothing smaller than a quantum; a quantum can not be composed of smaller or previous things.

 From ‘macro’ to ‘micro’ – turbulence seen by Cluster
Such turbulence is generated for instance in the areas of transition between layers of plasma of different density and temperature, but its formation mechanisms are not completely clear yet.
The new discovery of ‘micro’ turbulence, with vortices of only 100 kilometres across, is a first in the study of the plasma surrounding Earth.
Besides, Cluster’s study of the turbulence in Earth’s plasma, with the dynamics and the energies involved, is contributing to the advancement of fundamental theories on plasma.

It is believed that the theory may be of use in application to quantum chaos and quantum turbulence.

 Turbulence: Jeng-Horng Chen's Introduction Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In contrast to "laminar" flow, turbulent flow means fluid motion is chaotic, not in an order, unpredictable (so far) and any neighbour point at one moment will be far away later.
After fast and successful studies of physics and mathematics in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, it can be said that only turbulence was a not well understood field in classical physics, even though the famous Navier-Stokes equations which descibe fluid motion in partial differential equation form had been found then.
Despite the shift of studies from turbulence to quantum mechanics in 20th century, the studies of turbulence remains and actually grows due to many important applications to weather, transportation, and heath issue as well as military use.

 Unraveling a Twisted Tale
The findings may shed light on the complexity of turbulent motion in normal fluids, a phenomenon that has challenged physicists for over a century.
Turbulent fluids show up in oceanography, aviation, pipe flow, and industrial processing, but physicists still have great difficulty describing and studying the constantly changing mix of eddies that constitute turbulent flow.
For decades physicists have suspected that quantum turbulence in a superfluid arises when vortex lines and rings become so dense that they interact and tangle with each other, but direct evidence for the transition to turbulent flow has been hard to come by.
