Rice Team Observes Limited Atoms In Bose-Einstein

Researchers have observed a ceiling to the number of atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate formed with attractive atoms, with a maximum of 650-1,300 atoms. This finding is consistent with theoretical predictions and sheds light on the behavior of macroscopic quantum mechanical processes.

Rudimentary Atom Laser Created At MIT

MIT researchers verify coherence property in atomic beam, a key attribute of optical lasers, and extract controlled fraction of atoms from Bose-Einstein condensate to produce directional stream. This breakthrough may lead to significant innovations in nanotechnology and precision measurements at the quantum level.
