55. We note that geometry and projector definition of [35] yield a conserved angular momentum about the x axis; however, any nonzero angular momenta in the fields evolved in that work were incidental, and of essentially negligible magnitude, as noted by the authors of that paper.
56. z to the single-particle Hamiltonian [113] serves only to ensure that the rotating-frame equations of motion faithfully describe the same dynamics as the fundamental inertial-frame equations.

60. In practice, we average momentum-space densities taken over consecutive 10 cycle periods. Aside from fluctuations close to the origin k = 0 arising from the vortex precession, we observe the densities to settle to their (fluctuating) values well before t =9000 cyc.
61. We use the peak density of our principal ground state to estimate the healing length η.

68. Vortices may of course occur in all such simulations; we use the phrase "vortex free" here to refer to simulations in which any appearance of vortices is incidental and sufficiently transient as to not affect the statistics under consideration significantly.

This symmetry is of course the classical precursor to the so-called gauge symmetry associated with particle-number conservation in the corresponding secondquantized field theory [88]. However, the global phase of the classical field has no effect on the density-matrix calculations we perform here.
