Experimenters Produce New Bose–Einstein Condensate(s) and Possible Puzzles for Theorists

Three different systems of bosonic alkali atoms have now been cooled well into their respective quantum degenerate regimes. Two clearly exhibit Bose–Einstein condensation, whereas the third poses challenges to experimenters and theorists alike.

If the creation of a gaseous Bose–Einstein condensate in Boulder, Colorado, last summer marked the opening of a door to a new world of physics—the realm of wealdy interacting, quantum degenerate atomic gases—then today we have unlocked multiple entrances to that domain. Furthermore, each entrance has a different architecture and looks out across a unique landscape.
