Condensed-matter physics: Atomic beads on strings of light
Murray J. Holland1
Abstract
A new regime of strongly correlated quantum behaviour has been reached with the creation of a one-dimensional Tonks–Girardeau gas from ultracold atoms trapped within thin tubes of light.
Some materials reveal their underlying quantum nature at ultracold temperatures. Spectacular examples are superconductors and superfluids, in which frictionless currents flow at temperatures near absolute zero.
