Almost six years have passed since the first Bose-Einstein condensates were created in dilute atomic gases. In that time the field has blossomed into one of the largest and most active areas of atomic physics. Recent months, in particular, have witnessed a rapid growth in research into Bose condensates, with the announcement of breakthroughs in […]
