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 SUPPRESSION. “Anderson localization can also be observed in momentum space (often called dynamical localization) and it is related to the quantum suppression of classical diffusion of a particle in classically chaotic systems.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
WIDE APPLICATIONS. “The multipole description has subsequently become used in many branches of physics, including nuclear physics) and solid state physics.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn
THE POPE OF CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS. “The standard Anderson localization phenomenon is exponential localization of eigenstates of a particle in configuration space due to the presence of a disordered potential in space.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
CHARGES OF MATTER. “More than a century ago the single electron was discovered to have a unique monopole charge. Diatomic molecules became classified after their electric dipole moment. The possible existence of the Dirac magnetic monopole would have fundamental consequences) and has been much discussed.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn
FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on pushing the limits of time crystals for looking at condensed matter physics phenomena in other dimensions including time. Hold onto your dentures, this is a wild ride and worth the effort! https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
