Bose–Einstein condensation embodies some of the most fascinating aspects of quantum mechanics. Predicted 100 years ago, its experimental realization in 1995 opened up unexpected directions in both fundamental and applied quantum physics. This chapter describes the main features of Bose–Einstein condensation, focusing on its experimental realization in ...

Approaching Bose–Einstein condensation
European Journal of Physics, 2011Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) is discussed at the level of an advanced course of statistical thermodynamics, clarifying some formal and physical aspects that are usually not covered by the standard pedagogical literature. The non-conventional approach adopted starts by showing that the continuum limit, in certain cases, cancels out the crucial role ...

Bose–Einstein condensation in a plasmonic lattice
, 2017Bose–Einstein condensation is a remarkable manifestation of quantum statistics and macroscopic quantum coherence. Superconductivity and superfluidity have their origin in Bose–Einstein condensation. Ultracold quantum gases have provided condensates close

ABSTRACTThis paper contains a proof that the description of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation is the same whether (1) an open system is contemplated and treated on the basis of the grand canonical ensemble, or (2) a closed system is contemplated and treated on the basis of the canonical ensemble without recourse to the method of steepest ...

We now turn to the condensate phase of ultra-cold matter. It is known that condensation in cold atomic clouds occurs when the cooling lasers are switched off and for this reason the atom-atom interactions associated with an exchange of scattered photons are no longer present.

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) refers to a prediction of quantum statistical mechanics (Bose [1], Einstein [2]) where an ideal gas of identical bosons undergoes a phase transition when the thermal de Broglie wavelength exceeds the mean spacing between the particles.

Abstract In Section 8.3 we studied blackbody radation that is a thermal distribution of photons, which we recall are bosons. However, we noted in that case that a collection of photons need not conserve particle number. We now turn to the question of the statistics of bosons when particle number is conserved.

In 1924 the Indian physicist S.N. Bose introduced a new statistical methodto derive the black-body radiation law in terms of a gas of light quanta(photons). His work, together with the contemporary de Broglie’s idea ofmatter-wave duality, led A. Einstein to apply the same statistical approachto a gas of N indistinguishable particles of mass m.
