  We consider the reconnection of two untwisted, linked quantised vortex rings
in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that the reconnection is capable of
transferring helicity, from the links present in the initial configuration, to
a twisting of the resulting vortex ring, and hence a rotation of the phase
plane along the vortex ring. As velocities in a quantum fluid are the gradient
of the phase, a twisting of the phase along the vortices leads to an axial flow
along the vortices. Hence one would expect that the dynamics of quantum
turbulence are strongly influence by the helicity of the initial conditions or
the system forcing. Our results also provide an important link between
quantised vortex reconnections and reconnections in classical and magnetised
fluids.
