All optical cooling of K to Bose Einstein condensation

Bose-Einstein condensation in optical lattices

The advent of coherent matter waves in the form of Bose-Einstein condensation, coupled with periodic potentials in the form of optical lattices, has established a new area of research on the boundary between atomic and condensed matter physics. This essay is a brief review of the recent theoretical and experimental progress in the area of degenerate Bose gases loaded into optical lattices. PDF ...

Diquark Bose-Einstein condensation

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of composite diquarks in quark matter (the color superconductor phase) is discussed using the quasi-chemical equilibrium theory at a relatively low density region near the deconfinement phase transition, where dynamical quark-pair fluctuations are assumed to be described as bosonic degrees of freedom (diquarks). A general formulation is given for the diquark for...

All-Optical Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensates

Given the tremendous impact of BEC research in last 7 years and the continued growth of the field, it is important to explore different methods for reaching BEC, particularly methods that offer new capabilities, simplicity, or speed. We have recently demonstrated such a method by creating a Bose condensate of Rb atoms directly in a crossed-beam optical dipole force trap using tightly focused CO...
