The doubts concerning validity of gas approximation for strong interaction (for example, hard spheres) are expressed. A contradictory example - a Bose system in a lattice model - is considered. Namely, the X-Y model for spin 1/2 is taken. A…
The phase transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator has been observed in a $^{23}$Na Bose-Einstein condensate. A dye laser detuned $\approx 5$nm red of the Na $3^2$S$ \to 3^2$P$_{1/2}$ transition was used to form the three…
