An atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is often described as a macroscopic object which can be approximated by a coherent state. This, on the surface, would appear to indicate that its behavior should be close to being classical. In this…

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a gas has now been achieved. Alkali atoms ($^{87}Rb$, $^{23}Na$ and $^{7}Li$) have been cooled to the point of condensation (temperature of 100 nK) using laser cooling and trapping, followed by magnetic…
Bose-Einstein condensation of a sample of non-interacting chiral molecules leads to a non zero optical activity of the condensate and also to a subcritical temperature in the heat capacity. This is due to the internal structure of the…
