Abstract
The possibility of creating a Bose condensate of trapped atoms in a non-ground state is suggested. Such a nonequilibrium Bose condensate can be formed if one, first, obtains the conventional Bose condensate in the ground state and then transfers the condensed atoms to a non-ground state by means of a resonance pumping. The properties of ground and non-ground states are compared and plausible applications of such nonequilibrium condensates are discussed.
