Bose–Einstein condensates: Mastering the language of atoms
Ron Folman1,2 & Jörg Schmiedmayer1,3
Abstract
Physicists can already make ultracold atoms perform quantum tricks in sophisticated magnetic and optical traps. But a fast route to trapping atoms on a microchip opens up new possibilities.
Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. They have a positively charged nucleus and their outer boundaries are defined by electron clouds.
