Dual Mandelstam–‘t Hooft–Polyakov confinement. a Quark confinement by chromo-electric strings. b Magnetic tube (Abrikosov vortex) that forms in a superconductor between two magnetic monopoles. c Electric string that forms in a superinsulator between the Cooper pair and anti-Cooper pair. The lines are the force lines for magnetic and electric fields respectively. In all cases the energy of the string (the binding energy) is proportional to the distance between either the monopoles or the charges
