ShareVery cold indeed: the nanokelvin physics of Bose-Einstein condensation.
Author(s) : CORNELL E.
Type of article: Article
Summary
As atoms get colder, they start to behave more like waves and less like particles. Cool a cloud of identical atoms so cold that the wave of each atom starts to overlap with the wave of its neighbour atom, and all of a sudden you wind up with a sort of quantum identity crisis known as Bose-Einstein condensation. How do we get something that cold? And what is the nature of the strange goop that results? The paper addresses these questions.
