A new method of cooling positronium down is proposed to realize Bose-Einstein condensation of positronium. We perform detail studies about three processes (1) thermalization processes between positronium and silica walls of a cavity, (2)…

We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of trapped atomic hydrogen, and studied it by two-photon spectroscopy of the 1S-2S transition. In these lecture notes we briefly review the history of spin-polarized atomic hydrogen and…

We present an experimental apparatus that produces Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of $^{87}$Rb atoms at a rate of 1 Hz. As a demonstration of the system's ability to operate continuously, 30 BECs were produced and imaged in 32.1 s.…
