The quark matter exhibits a rich phase structure at different temperatures and baryon number densities. At high baryon density and low temperature, the color-flavor locked phase is believed to be the ground state of the quark matter. We present an introduction to various vortices in the color-flavor locked quark matter, especially for the semi-superfluid vortices, and their research method (Ginzburg-Landau method). The influence of magnetic field and rotation on properties of these vortices is discussed. Due to the possibility of forming a semi-superfluid vortex in the core of the dense star, this result is of practical significance in the study of dense stars. If considering other factors, such as temperature and quark mass, study of the vortex structure properties in the quark matter could provide new perspectives for related fields, for instance dense star physics.
