The phase transition to a Bose-Einstein condensate is unusual in that it is not necessarily driven by inter-particle interactions but can occur in an ideal gas as a result of a purely statistical saturation of excited states. However,…

We consider a two-component immiscible Bose-Einstein condensate with dominating intra-species repulsive density-density interactions. In the ground-state phase of such a system only one condensates is present. This can be viewed as a…
Our understanding of various states of matter usually relies on the assumption of thermodynamic equilibrium. However, the transitions between different phases of matter can be strongly affected by non-equilibrium phenomena. Here we…
