The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

Quantized vortices play a pivotal role in the interpretation of quantum phase transitions and strongly correlated physics involving the underlying confluence of superfluids, Bose-Einstein condensates, ...

The study of Quantum Boltzmann Equations and Bose–Einstein condensation forms a vital nexus in modern theoretical physics, bridging quantum statistical mechanics and kinetic theory. The Quantum ...

In this note we give a characterization of Bose-Einstein (B-E) statistics as a compound distribution of Multinomial distribution with Dirichlet distribution. This characterization gives us a method of ...

In an international first, scientists from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) produced a Bose-Einstein condensate of the alkaline-earth element strontium, thus narrowly ...

On the International Space Station, astronauts are weightless. Atoms are, too. That weightlessness makes it easier to study a weird quantum state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Now, ...

Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons -- quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged 'holes' -- in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle Bose-Einstein ...

A fifth state of matter has been created in space, with scientists producing Bose-Einstein condensates onboard the International Space Station (ISS) in the Cold Atom Lab experiment. A Bose-Einstein ...

Researchers have created a Bose-Einstein condensate with record speed, creating the fascinating phase of matter in about 100 femtoseconds. To get an idea of how quick that is, hundred femtoseconds ...
