24. Pinning of a vortex lattice by a rotating periodic array of optical potentials (an optical lattice) was recently demonstrated [S. Tung, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 240402 (2006)]; however, the ability of the optical potential to stabilize vortex states against decay in a nonrotating frame was not investigated.
