We have studied circulation in superfluid 3He-B with a vibrating wire. We find that the circulation quantum equals h/2m3 to within experimental error at several pressures. We have also measured circulation in rotating superfluid 3He-B, and have observed a precessional motion of a single vortex line.
Due to the specific discrete symmetry of the superfluid 3He-A2 order parameter, linear singularities can exist which are characterized by a quarter-integer quantum of superflow velocity circulation. Some consequences of this observation are analyzed. ## O = Β½[(A r + A,)al(Z) + i(AT --A,)d2(z)]e i'p
