Rotating curved spacetime signatures from a giant quantum vortex

Is quantized a state of matter?
Beats the hell out of me. But,,, what I found so compelling was thinking about how states depend so much on what is going on inside of the materials and how they interact. It didn't surprise me that science keeps pushing the boundaries. Someone hypothesizes it should work this way, and someone else designs a way to test it. (I always thought that my sons would grow up to be competing physicists - one in theoretical physics and one in experimental. As it turned out, neither pursued that. One is a programmer, the other a graphic designer.)

I read voraciously about plasma creation, then Bose-Einstein condensates, and now even more elaborate states. But, I can't follow the math, so remain an outside observer. Of course, we all know what Schroediger had to say about that.

 
Three? liquid, frozen, and gaseous?
At least four that naturally exist and have been observed (+plasma), that we know of, and more that are scientifically posited, and even more that have been artificially created (e.g, Bose-Einstein particles). I think I posted earlier 22 have been "identified". Some are just a puzzle. What do you call a solid that behaves like a liquid? Or, vice versa - like Jello? Physics is fascinating, and quantum physics mesmerizing.
