Low-temperature physics: A quantum revolution
Rudolf Grimm1
Abstract
Tiny quantum tornadoes observed in ultracold gases of fermionic atoms provide definitive evidence of superfluidity, and open up new vistas in the modelling of quantum many-body systems.
Almost exactly ten years after the first observation of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in ultracold atomic gases consisting of so-called bosons1, 2, a similar revolution is now unfolding. Evidence has piled up that atoms of the class of particles known as fermions can also be cooled down to a superfluid state.
