We study the problem of vortex nucleation in rotating two-dimensional Bose–Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic trap. We show that, within the Gross–Pitaevskii theory with the boundary condition of vanishing of the order parameter at infinity, topological defects nucleation occurs via the creation of vortex-antivortex pairs far from the cloud center, where the modulus of the order parameter is small. Then vortices move toward the center of the cloud and antivortices move in the opposite direction but never disappear. We also discuss the role of surface modes.
