Bose Einstein Condensate Explained in Simple Words

Bose Einstein condensate is considered the fifth state of matter - it’s obtained when gas particles are cooled to almost absolute zero temperature. To generate the Bose-Einstein condensate, the first step is to obtain a cloud of gas; a typical example is the gas of rubidium atoms. The next step is to use lasers to remove the atoms' energy and cool them down. An evaporative cooling method is utilized for further cooling until the atoms are close to absolute zero. At this stage, the atoms assume the same quantum states and operate as a single entity. If you were to measure their location at this point, you would observe a blurred ball, rather than individual atoms.

Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) have various practical uses in precision measurement and sensing technologies, which have led to advancements in detecting gravitational waves, creating navigation systems, and improving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, BECs have been used to develop atom lasers, which hold great potential for the precise manipulation of atomic matter. This advancement has already aided research in quantum optics and lithography.

2:22 I was in Professor Ketterle's freshman physics class in the fall of 1995, while he doing this research. Frosh mechanics by day, laser-cooled atoms by night. He came into lecture tired but wired from the experiment results of the previous night, good class, few numbers, just variables and equations.
I actually got to tour his lab at the end of the semester. Lots of stainless steel gear.

"Now imagine replacing those drinks with atoms" I LITERALLY, in the original sense of the word, can not imagine that.

I love how you used BBT characters in your video

[davidemelia]

Amazing: the physicists who used his work won the Nobel Prize - his work spawned multiple Nobel prizes - but Bose himself never did. In spite of his being one of the most important physicists of the 20th century. In case you're wondering if the Nobel Prize is biased towards 'Westerners' in any way.

Who is here after watching the movie *"Spectral"* ? 🙋🏻‍♂️

4:08 The coolest state of matter is fermionic condensate. This was produced in 2003 from potassium-40 atoms cooled to a temperature of 5×10⁻⁸ K.

This is really important to the UFO and teleportation business lately, but I can't fully flesh out how. All I have is that it can be a buffer for a wormhole.

[warcrimesarefun]

amazing video i didnt know anything about them before

[bosskaur]

im in love with the slide both playing table tennis 😭😭😭😭 3:21

Incidentally, a "boson" is not a particle, but a classification of many different particles. And what happens if a Fermi-Dirac condensate turns up at the party? Might they be cooler?

[paulforester]

Bose was a good speaker.
That's why Einstein listened.

[compositeboson]

well I was looking for bose-einstein statistics but still thanks for the info

[paulpaulsen]

I always have a Bose-Einstein-Condensate as my late night drink 🥃

[notthisguyagain]

Why didn't you say that the bec exist as a solid, liquid and gas at the same time.

[LiborTinka]

I love how every scientist have a shelf filled with Erlenmeyer flasks, regardless of his discipline :-D

[marziyak]

How do u make the animation I want to learn

[johnconnor]

At this point should we be asking more important questions like what is a particle? Maybe they don’t even exist at all and that’s why the atoms became a blob, because they lost energy.

[iceberg]

early 20th century theoretical scientists really did a lot of breakthrough stuff.
lately their performance is not the same.

[mumtajkaly]

Is that Sheldon and Leonard's apartment at first?

[Tallacus]

So how far until we are able to create an actual Star Trek Replicator? Since we can manipulate atoms with Electron beams or with Scan Tron microscopes?

But anyway thank you for this video and explaining this. I am a science fiction writer and I have such Replicator technology in my world and so now you gave me the actual science to back up how my technology would work.
