Abstract

We propose a method of generating skyrmion vortices in a pair of Bose-Einstein condensates occupying two internal states of the same atom. We show that a variety of different periodic arrays of vortices may be prepared with an appropriate superposition of orthogonal standing electromagnetic waves inducing a coherent coupling between the two condensates.
