BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE. “At that point, the atoms begin to clump together, and enter the same energy states. They become identical, from a physical point of view, and the whole group starts behaving as though it were a single atom.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

BEHAVING AS A SINGLE ATOM. “A Bose-Einstein condensate is a group of atoms cooled to within a hair of absolute zero. When they reach that temperature the atoms are hardly moving relative to each other; they have almost no free energy to do so.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS. “Of the five states matter can be in, the Bose-Einstein condensate is perhaps the most mysterious. Gases, liquids, solids and plasmas were all well studied for decades, if not centuries; Bose-Einstein condensates weren't created in the laboratory until the 1990s.”  https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

DEFINITION. “Condensed matter physics (CMP) seeks to understand the microscopic interactions of matter at the quantum and atomistic levels, and describes how these interactions result in both mesoscopic and macroscopic properties.” https://lnkd.in/eKzctYWy View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM FIELDS. “Intermolecular forces are pervasive in nature and give rise to various phenomena including surface wetting, adhesive forces in biology, and the Casimir effect, which causes two charge-neutral, metal objects in vacuum to attract each other. These interactions are the result of quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic waves and the boundary conditions imposed by the interacting materials.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0777-8 View in LinkedIn

KEY THEORY. “Quantum fluctuations of the vacuum stress-energy tensor are highly non-Gaussian, and can have unexpectedly large effects on spacetime geometry.” https://lnkd.in/eeq_Rq-x View in LinkedIn
