Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC)

1925 Bose & Einstein predicted that a gas at very low temperature undergoes quantum “freezing”.

T ↓ ⇒ vel. ↓ ⇒ de Broglie: λ = h/p ⇒ λ ↑ ⇒ coherence ⇒ all atoms enter the SAME quantum state

BEC is to matter what laser is to light (coherent) 5th state of matter (gas + liquid + solid + plasma + BEC)

BEC is to matter what laser is to light (coherent) 5th state of matter (gas + liquid + solid + plasma + BEC) 1995 Cornell + Wieman + others @ JILA + NIST + UC) achieved temperatures < 1/170M oK to produce a BEC (rubid- ium) for the 1st time.
