Carnot Cycles in a Harmonically Confined Ultracold Gas across Bose–Einstein Condensation
Entropy, 2023 Carnot cycles of samples of harmonically confined ultracold 87Rb fluids, near and across Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC), are analyzed. This is achieved through the experimental determination of the corresponding equation of state in terms of the ...
